Audubon Recertification

         This year, the Players, Members, and Founders Clubs are due for their Audubon International recertification.  To obtain a recertification from Audubon each course must complete the necessary paperwork, and participate in an on-site visit from a third party representative for Audubon.  On April 1^st, Brunswick Community College instructor Jace Myers and his 2^nd year students came out to participate in the on-site visit portion of the process.   The visit included stops at all 3 shops and the questions focused on how the golf course maintenance operation takes the proper steps to protect the surrounding environment. 

            The students were a very vital part of the process.  Jace assigned 2 students to each course that was responsible for asking the questions provided by Audubon.  The categories of questions range from water conservation efforts to wildlife found on the course. The students recorded the answers to the questions in the handbook, and submitted them to Audubon later that afternoon for final approval.  On April 2^nd, the golf course maintenance portion of the paperwork was turned in for final review.  In the next few days Audubon International will inform the courses of the outcome of our recertification efforts.
