Top 5 Reasons Buying Recycled Golf Balls Makes Sense

EarthDayEmailBlog.jpg

Since this is Earth Week 2017, let’s talk about why you should think about using recycled golf balls. Before buying that brand-new box of Titleist Pro V1’s with the price tag reading $47.99, consider these environmental and economic reasons for buying used.

  1. Recycled Golf Balls Are Half The Price As New

       $47.99 for a new dozen of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls or $23.99? Let’s do the math. $23.99 is 50% off                $47.99, which means you can get twice the amount of recycled golf balls for the same price as new. Just        think of what you could do with all the money you save!

  1. Reuse Rather Than Buy New To Cut Down On Production

Golf balls are manufactured in top of the line factories using rubbers and plastics. I’m not a scientist, but I’m pretty sure the whole reduce, reuse, recycle mantra applies to golf balls.

  1. Same Performance As New

If you can play the same ball and experience virtually no loss of performance, and pay half as much as new, why wouldn’t you?

  1. You Could Be Playing With A Ball A Pro Used

We retrieve used golf balls from premium golf courses used for PGA Tour events, such as the Golf Club of Houston (Shell Houston Open) and Austin Country Club (Dell Technologies Match Play), which are notorious for water shots. Sometimes, we even get our hands on tour practice balls used on the range for PGA Tour events.

  1. Because All Golf Balls Are Used After One Hit, Why Not Use One That Has Some Luck?

Maybe someone hit a hole-in-one with a golf ball before hitting it into the water 3 holes later, or they hit 3 birdies in a row before unfortunately losing it. That ball and its mojo could end up in your hands, and help you shoot one of the lowest scores of your life.

Haeran Ryu Adds Interest To This Year's LPGA Tour

Suddenly the LPGA Tour just might have a debate for Golfer of the Year Honors. Though there is plenty of tournaments left, right now you’d have to say it’s a battle between Haeran Ryu (TaylorMade TP5) and Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x). Up until recently Korda appeared the overwhelming choice—and she still quite likely is—after vaulting over Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X) into first in the official world golf rankings.

What a difference a year makes. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone TOUR B X) started the PGA Tour season this year with one career victory, last year’s Scottish Open.

Not Exactly a Fan of the Proposed PGA Tour Schedule for 2028

So now we officially know the PGA Tour will undergo a significant schedule change in 2028, though the particulars still have to be ironed out. But I’m not a big fan of what we’ve heard so far with the sole exception being turning the Tour Championship into match play. Essentially, beginning in 2028, the schedule will feature a Championship Series with the biggest names playing for purses over $20 million. There will be the Championship Challenger Series with $4 million purses.
