Golf course architect, Jonathan Gaunt, highlights the need for golf clubs to be looking to do more toharvest and re-use rainwater given recent weather patterns and a growing need for the sport to become assustainable as possible.T he incessant rain of the past six months in the UK has beena problem in itself to golf courses, but so too is the amountof water that falls as rain and eventually flows out to sea.It’s depressing to see a waterlogged course and no amount ofoptimism can make a ‘course closed’ sign any more palatable.
