SGW 2022
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this first Sustainable Golf Week, following along, or sharing your stories, perspectives, support, challenging questions and new ambitions. It has been inspiring to see and hear from so many of the people committed to creating a future of sustainable golf. We're also hopeful the week has helped to launch renewed determination and enthusiasm.
