KATE TORGERSEN AND MONINA GILBEY

Our guests today are Kate Torgersen and Monina Gilbey. Kate and Monina have worked individually for a long period of time of the area of environmental sustainability in golf. In May 2024, on World Biodiversity Day, they announced their joint partnership Torgersen Gilbey. 

The theme of World Biodiversity Day this year was “Be Part of the Plan” and there is no doubt they are part of the grand plan. Their individual and joint passion for biodiversity is part of their overall commitment to demonstrating at a practical level how golf is not only not an enemy to nature but a profound ally. 

In our discussion today we discuss what environmental sustainability means, how it is implemented at golf courses, why biodiversity is so critically important and the role golf clubs, both private and public, can play in supporting nature and her chain of connection.
