That same year, they also played a 10-song gig in Antarctica, performing to competition winners, research scientists and ship crew at Carlini base, the Argentinian outpost on King George island.
To find eco-friendly courses, golfers can consult GEO's directory of worldwide certified courses, browse case studies and research environmental award winners on the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America website, or look at courses certified by Audubon International – a group partly funded by USGA and not affiliated with the National Audubon Society.
