Fore! The Planet is a hub for the golf industry to improve its environmental impact.

The problem
According to Statista, the UK generates over two million metric tons of plastic waste each year - 50% of this gets incinerated.
The golf industry contributes significantly, with thousands of plastics, disposables and non-recyclable products discarded yearly.
Combine this with excess chemical usage on the golf course, poor water management and high emissions created from golf venues and their supply chains alike.
Such trends demand a shift towards sustainable practices within the golf industry, from products and packaging to clubhouse emissions and on-course management of nature and wildlife.

The solution
I’m Alex Nicholson, PGA Professional, sustainability expert and proud founder of Fore! The Planet - the home of sustainable golf.
Fore! The Planet is a hub for everyone in the golf industry to improve their sustainability credentials with consultancy, advice, initiatives, solutions and eco-friendly products.
We work with 60+ UK golf venues including the likes of Royal Birkdale, Sunningdale and Muirfield as well as many corporate events, golf societies and golfers searching for sustainable products.
Our social channels raise awareness through education and we plant trees for products sold, creating a measurable impact along the way!
"It cannot be right to manufacture billions of objects that are used for a matter of minutes, and then are with us for centuries."
