B. Fox Hollow golf course.
Listen to a news report on an environmentally friendly golf course. As you listen, carefully study the words in the two columns and then complete the news summary.

Golf courses and the environment have historically been at odds.
It's hard to reconcile the careful grooming and excessive water needed for greens and fairways with conservation and natural habitats.
One case in point, Lakewood's Fox Hollow Golf Course had its construction temporarily halted so some killdeer eggs can hatch.
A pair of red-tail hawks were also born during the construction of Fox Hollow.
However, the golf course has recently won an award for its relatively low impact and sustained wildlife.
The Golf Course superintendents of America say Lakewood's 27-hole fox Hollow course blends well with Bear Creek Lake's grasslands, and the land still hosts foxes,deer, great horned owls, blue herons, coyotes and other wild life.
Only three environmental Steward Awards are given out each year, So Lakewood officials are pretty excited about helping set the standard for golf courses with a soft touch.
