The model for golf course aesthetics has been Augusta National.
Augusta's seemingly impossible range of layer upon layer of greenness is achieved by high water and pesticides usage (and even the odd can of green paint to keep up appearances).
Golf Refugees think we’ve found a more environmentally friendly solution to Augusta’s green colour addiction.
The unlikely sounding ‘moss graffiti’.
All the green-keepers at Augusta need are a few cans of beer, some sugar and several clumps of moss.
Simply add the beer and sugar to the moss and blend the mixture to a creamy paste.
Then you can start painting or spraying your graffiti moss. Eventually the moss will re-constitute itself and grow.
How cool, green and sustainable is that?
