  "The golfers are going to have to understand, its not going to be green like it is most of the time," said Tim Heirs, The Old Collier Golf Club.
  
  Because if the drought continues, water restrictions could get even tougher.
  
  To counter act the loss of water many courses are using technology.
  
  "It's very scientific, it's very precise," said Heirs.
  
  He is talking about infrared and GPS technology that is being used to produce color coded maps that tell grounds keepers which areas of the course need water and which are OK.
  
  "It'll actually show the stressed areas on the turf, and you can see two or three days before your eye can pick it out, which means you can water those areas before they get too stressed," said Heirs.

  In my case that person is Tim Hiers, CGCS, at Old Collier Golf Club in Naples, Florida.Tim is a pioneer in the Audubon Signature Program.While at Collier's Reserve, Tim and Ron Dodson from Audubon International basically created the Signature Program through the construction of the facility that became the world's first ever Audubon International Signature status golf course.
  ...
  Tim has since moved on to Old Collier Golf Club and continues to do wonderful things.Although I have never actually met Tim personally, he has inspired me to become Audubon certified and to take an active role as an environmental leader in my community.
  
  Tim has organized numerous environmental tours at Old Collier Golf Club that share the golf industry and our profession with visiting EPA officials and local grade school students.
  ...
  Tim Hiers and his staff have been wonderful to work with and the annual field trip has become a favorite of our students and teachers.
  
  Most of our students are familiar with golf courses, but have never had the opportunity to spend time on a course and connect with nature.About 150 fifth graders take a tour of the golf course each year with Tim and his staff and they have been doing this for over ten years.
