Daily Detox: Slice it Green

I grew up next door to a house full of golf enthusiasts. I never did master my swing but I still dig the game. And now even more so since getting out on the links can be good for the environment. 

Golf courses can boost conservation efforts by providing nature preserves, wildlife area, and protecting forests, marshlands and waterways. Audubon International awards certification to members of the Audubon Certified Golf Courses program for their efforts to protect the environment, conserve natural resources and provide wildlife habitat.

The programs are so successful that avid golfers can tee off nationwide on greens that won’t tick off Mother Nature. Now all you have to worry about is your game.
