| Greenkeeper Attends International Golf Course Conference and Show |
|
Bridger Creek Greenkeeper, Dane Wm. Gamble recently took a comprehensive course in golf course maintenance techniques that minimize impacts to water quality. Recognizing the valuable resources of Bridger Creek, the East Gallatin and other on-site surface waters, Gamble continued his learning in the areas of integrated pest management, potential impacts from fertilizers and plant protectants, and the importance of public education and outreach in a comprehensive water resources program.
Gamble also participated in sessions involving “Proactive Approaches to Dealing with Drought,” Audubon International’s “Green Business: An Environmental MBA for Superintendent’s,” and “Reclaimed Water and Golf Courses.” Bridger Creek Golf Course has been a host site for the Montana Watercourse Project for the past several years. The Montana Watercourse Project is a “teach the teachers” event that seeks to bring hands-on practical water monitoring and aquatic biology survey techniques to educators from across the state. Through the continuing education of our staff we hope to be able to make meaningful contributions to the Project.
As can be seen, the value of Bridger Creek’s water resources goes far beyond the impacts on our players’ shot making skills. It is our privilege to protect and enhance these resources where and whenever we can. |
