In continuing to promote the use of the information and implementation of BMPs across the state, case studies are being developed that illustrate BMPs in use. These case studies:
- provide verifiable evidence for New York’s regulatory agencies that a majority of New York State golf course superintendents are utilizing the NYS BMP information and having a demonstrable impact
- can be used as an educational tool to assist superintendents in identifying areas for potential improvement in their golf course management operations
