Every year, an estimated 100 million golf balls end up in rivers, lakes, fields, forests and landfills, where they might take decades to decompose.
If Dane Platt and William Carey have their way, in the future most of those balls will show up in one of their recycling plants and be replaced by eco-friendly balls.
Platt is CEO and Carey is executive vice president of Dixon Golf, a Mesa company (dixongolf.com) that launched its Earth golf ball and recycling initiative in January at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla.
"Our challenge was twofold," Carey said. "We wanted to make a high-performance ball and we wanted it to be eco-friendly."
Unlike most balls, which contain a combination of non-renewable synthetics, lead, cobalt, tungsten and titanium, Platt said Dixon balls are "green to the core."

Being a recent beginner to golf at the age of 63, I found myself wanting to improve quickly. I have been playing about once a week since July of 2008. In order to help me better understand where I need improvement, I started taking an extra score card and keeping track of the number of strokes on the Fairway and on the Green. To do this I draw a diagonal line across the score box. I record the number of strokes it takes to reach the green over the number of putts. This has helped me to focus on improving my fairway shots.

It’s better for you to place your feet closer together when the wind is blowing hard or when making a short shot. |

I only started playing golf in January ‘08 but I have gotten bit by the golf bug really, really badly. My wife says I am beyond the point of obsession (since I practice at a minimum one and a half to two hours a day rain or shine) but we all know that's not true -- or is it? I have been advised by a friend who is a scratch golfer to find a qualified coach who can evaluate my faults or inconsistencies. He stressed finding someone who will work with your natural swing rather than someone who tries to enforce something totally different. (I played cricket as a child and tend to hold the club like a cricket bat.) My advice, especially for beginners, is to find a coach ASAP before you develop bad habits which then becomes part of you (your motor control, cognition, emotions, learning, muscle memory) and can be very difficult to change.
