The Holeview And Audubon International Create An Environmental Yardage Book For Coyote Moon, For East West Partners Contact Terry Gamer (July 9, 2003) - The HoleView has just completed a new Environmental Yardage Book for Coyote Moon, an East West Partners golf course for Tahoe Mountain Resorts in Truckee, California. The course has been certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary course, for its environmental stewardship through participation in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses. The Yardage Book that The HoleView developed with Audubon International reflects a strong environmental influence in a way that no other yardage book does. The most significant element are specific notes on pages in the Book where some environmental aspect might be interesting for the golfer to notice. For instance in the new Yardage Book for Coyote Moon, the Environmental Note on Hole #5 reads "We have created no-mow areas around tees to provide habitat for birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and beneficial insects such as butterflies. "The new HoleView Yardage Book for Coyote Moon highlights many of the unique natural features that were improved and protected as part of the course's participation in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. I'm glad that golfers will learn more about Coyote Moon's commitment to environmental stewardship through their Yardage Book." The Yardage Book has been designed for Coyote Moon as part of a unique program for golf courses that become certified as Audubon International Signature Sanctuary Courses or Cooperative Sanctuary courses. This program involves the Golf Course Superintendent as well as Audubon personnel in describing the environmental elements. "In working with Audubon International and The HoleView, our Yardage Books at Coyote Moon Golf Course have stirred much positive feedback from our guests," said Joel Blaker, Director of Agronomy for Tahoe Mountain Club. "Our new Yardage Books tell a story about how golf courses and the environment can coexist in harmony with both sides being the winner." "We are working with several courses throughout the world," said Terry Gamer, HoleView President, "that are either Audubon International Signature or Cooperative Sanctuary courses. We are very gratified by the enthusiastic interest of these environmentally-conscious golf courses." |
