Pesticides

The EGCOA represents golf course owners on a European level in cooperation with other stakeholders in the European Union. The EGCOA participates in the EGA Golf Course Commitee and works together with industry leaders like STRI and Syngenta to share information and knowledge on pesticides matters. The purpose of the EGA Golf Course Committee is to present a single European voice to the EU, representing the game of golf, on environmental matters to build relationships with appropriate contacts in Brussels.
