In almost all cases of using the word ‘green’ in golf terminology, the use should be singular; green fee, greenkeeper, Green Section, green committee.

Although the specific function of the Green Committee varies from golf course to golf course, the general scope of responsibilities is covered in the Green Section publication, A Guide for Green Committee Members. It is a good primer for Green Committee members, and can be obtained by contacting the USGA Order Department at 800-336-4446.  Also, look at the articles available on the download page of the USGA Green Section Web site for additional information.  The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America is another source of written materials on this topic (www.gcsaa.org).
