Entrants may apply for awards in four categories – Environmental Golf Course of the Year, Conservation Greenkeeper of the Year, Outstanding Environmental Project of the Year and Operation Pollinator.

This year we are excited to announce that, for the first time, a panel of judges, selected from across the golf industry, will choose the winners from this year’s entrants.

We are also pleased to introduce a new prize. A £750 grant will be awarded to each winner to invest into environmental and ecological projects at the club.

We encourage all clubs, however big or small, to enter. Entry is free and each entrant will be assessed upon their own merits. A shortlist of finalists will be chosen from categories’ entrants and each will receive a visit from an STRI consultant who will perform an onsite ecological and environmental assessment, using current social distancing advice from the government in relation to Covid-19.

Applications are being accepted up to midnight on 7 August 2020 to give entrants additional time to put together an application during the current pandemic.

Senior environment consultant, Sophie Olejnik, said: “We are so excited to be launching the 2021 Golf Environment Awards and, despite current circumstances, we want to remain positive and celebrate all that is good in golf. We hope that the addition of our new judging panel and prizes will entice more of you to enter and be part of the Golf Environment Awards family.”

SAGE: Postponed until 2021

SAGE: Postponed until 2021: The Sports & Grounds Expo will now launch in July 2021!

We have been closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the related Government guidelines. After careful consideration, and having spoken with many people involved in our event, we have decided to postpone The Sports & Grounds Expo (SAGE) until 2021.

SAGE: Postponed until 2021

Given the developing Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it is with deep regret that we have taken this decision, this has been a difficult decision to make. But the health of our exhibitors, visitors and staff has to be our number one priority and has taken precedence.

There has been a huge positive momentum gained for this exhibition already and we will continue to build on this to make 2021 an even bigger success. We have a preliminary date booked already with the Three Counties Showground, which will be released shortly.

In the meantime, please accept our apologies but these are unprecedented circumstances. Most importantly, we wish to extend our thoughts and best wishes to all those personally affected by the Coronavirus.

We look forward to seeing you all in 2021!
