The USGA mission is to champion and advance the game of golf. The Green Section contributes to this mission by supporting and conducting research and creating and distributing solutions, through innovative services and tools, to golf courses, clubs, and golf associations that make golf experiences better and reduce the consumption of critical resources.

The Mike Davis Program for Advancing Golf Course Management is a grant program that funds non-biased, university research for a healthier environment, community, and playing conditions for the game of golf. The annual call for proposals opens each April.
