Eco Golf Balls and Eco Golf Tees - Why They Matter

Did you know that in the Us alone, it's estimated over 300 million golf balls are lost per year? Yes, many balls are reclaimed, but nowhere near the volume that are lost. Now let's talk about golf tees. Stick with me, and we'll do some simple math.

• 486 million rounds of golf played annually
• (The National Golf Foundation/ Us / 2009)
• Average golfer uses 6 tees / round
• 75% using wooden tees
• (Pga estimates 90% of pro use wooden tees; using conservative 75% for normal public)
• 2,187,000,000 total estimated golf tees consumed per year!

Combine the lost golf balls with the used golf tees and you have an thinkable, amount of golf 'trash' left lying colse to on those beautiful courses where we play. Compelling, isn't it? That's why using eco-friendly golf balls and eco-friendly golf tees Does matter.

Golf Balls

So, you ask, what is the divergence between a regular golf ball and an eco-friendly golf ball? Read on and learn about three top-sellers.

The Wilson Eco Core golf ball has a core molded from unvulcanized automobile tires instead of the polybutadiene used in 99% of all other golf balls. The containers does away with sleeves, and uses a recycled "pizza" cardboard box approach. The net result is a ball that uses 40% less materials and vigor to produce.

The Dixon Earth golf ball is "green" to the core. The Dixon Earth ball's core is made from a proprietary polymer that maintains the playable properties of the ball, but ensures that it is 100% renewable. In increasing to the core, the entire Dixon Earth ball is man-made with materials that can be recycled and used to make other consumer products.

The Eco Tournament Sleeve contains three balls that are molded over a regulation size Recycled Rubber Core. They also feature a Recycled Plastic Surlyn cover with an improved high operation Ls 432 dimple design. These balls feature the Recycled symbol and Eco name printed opposite your branding.

As for eco-friendly golf tee options, I suggest using biodegradable tees. Our biodegradable tees are made of cellulose, starch and other natural polymers. These tees degrade in just six to twelve weeks! As for their play, you'll find these biodegradable tees won't mark up your club face, they are more durable than wooden tees, and they won't slow your swing speed on impact.

Price points of eco-friendly golf balls and eco-friendly golf tees are very comparable to their non-eco counterparts. You won't see an impact on your funds by changing to eco-friendly golf products. (Although you may perceive some positive Pr!)

If your company has a sustainability procedure in place, eco-friendly golf products will be a natural fit for your promotional marketing. Either or not you have a formal procedure in place, pick eco-friendly golf products. It's just the right thing to do.
