Abstract: Apparently golf and the ecological transition are hardly compatible. However, golf's governing boards (national and international) are fully aware of the need to take this imperative into account. In the field, it is up to golf directors to rise to the challenge. In practical terms, the question is: how can we, at an operational level, combine the offer of golf with the ecological transition in the long term? This central question also constitutes our problem. Our hypothesis is that a pioneering football club in this area, Forest Green Rovers Football Club, could provide an operational model that could help them. Our research methodology is therefore based on the four-stage approach proposed by Berger Douce and Nguyen Tan. This leads us to propose two operational models that can help golf managers implement the ecological transition in their clubs.
