Part of the ongoing and always-thrilling part of playing golf is the ability to do it outside.
Each spring Canadian golfers anxiously anticipate The Big Melt and course openings across the country. While some on Canada’s West Coast may be open for most of the year, there’s nothing like the sight, smell, and sound of springtime.
With golfers taking advantage of what Mother Nature offers, it’s no wonder that Earth Day is a key time on the calendar worth celebrating.
When it comes to scooping up the best gear for your game at Golf Town, you’ll be happy to know that plenty of the biggest brands in the game are all going for the green – literally!
Whether you’re looking for new gear or a fresh addition to your closet, there has been a big-time effort made to utilize more recycled materials. You’ll look stylish on the golf course while doing a small part to stay environmentally friendly and keep where the golf courses are better for generations to come.
Most of Puma’s products are now made from recycled materials and most boast a “Forever Better” logo to promote its commitment to reducing its impact on the environment. Its Palm Tree Crew collection is nearly all sustainably made, same with the MATTR polos for men and women along with the PWRSHAPE 16-inch skirt for women and the Dealer 8-inch shorts for men.
Adidas has several products made out of recyclable materials – in fact, more than 70 percent of its entire line of golf gear is made from recycled polyester and 75 percent of its footwear boasts the same environmentally-friendly construction. While style is top of mind (take the new floral collection, for example, or the women’s or men’s Ultimate365 line) you’ll be happy to know it’s likely your adidas clothing is made, mostly, from renewable fabrics.
There are only six styles out of the entire Callaway collection that is not made from some recyclable materials. Whether you’re looking for a unique and sporty polo, classic bottoms, or a fashion-forward dress, the newest drops from Callaway are equal parts stylish and sustainable.
Nike, meanwhile, has launched its “Move to Zero” initiative. That effort is all about the brand’s move toward a zero-carbon and zero-waste output in order to protect the future of sport. The Swoosh brand calls it ‘Bloom over Doom,’ wrapping its current work in “tenacious optimism, audacious innovation, and collection action” for the future of the planet. Nike’s off to a great start – it’s Dri-Fit Victory polos, for example, are now crafted from 100 percent recycled polyester.
