Ep 31: Weaning Golf Off Plastic

Many outside the game see golf as - at best - a negative for the
environment and there is no doubt the game has some significant
questions to answer about issues such as water and chemical use.
But there is another - mostly hidden - way that golf is less than
environmentally friendly and it comes in the form of the humble
golf tee. The predominantly plastic or hardwood device millions of
golfers use to begin almost every hole they play is actually a
needlessly damaging piece of equipment and this week's Good Good
guest is doing something about it. Ed Sandison formed his company
Ocean Tee Golf in 2018 with the aim of reducing the use of plastic
tees and instead replacing them with a bamboo version. Having had
some success, the company has now begun manufacturing apparel with
plans to expand even further. Links mentioned on this episode: As
