Green Section Record


Since 1921, the USGA Green Section has published information on the proper maintenance and upkeep of golf courses.   Published under various titles, the Green Section Record magazine, which many consider the authoritative voice on golf course management, debuted in May 1963.  In July 2010, the print publication changed to a weekly digital magazine offering the latest information on golf course management, turfgrass culture, environmental issues, research, and economic sustainability.
