The GEO Foundation teed off its inaugural Sustainable Golf Week on Monday, October 3, including a sustainability scorecard that allows golfers around the world to join in and play their part in the #DrivingTheGreen agenda throughout the week and beyond.

Running to Sunday, October 9, the week is both a reflection and celebration of the great sustainability work being done throughout the world of golf, while also providing stimulus to promote a greener future for the game.

With 18 tips included on the sustainability scorecard, golfers can track their progress throughout the week with tasks as simple as avoiding single use plastic and taking an interest in your local clubs’ community initiatives.

Presented as a traditional golfing scorecard, a front and back nine of tips offer an ideal starting point for golfers to integrate more sustainable habits into their normal golfing lives.

“When it comes to environmental stewardship and climate action, even the smallest decision can make a huge difference,” said Jonathan Smith, Executive Director of the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf.

“Whether it’s sharing a ride to the golf course, walking instead of taking a golf cart, or looking carefully at the equipment we purchase, every small change by over 60 million golfers can have a massive impact and ensure we provide a world where golf is still playable for future generations."

With a range of daily highlights, features and social activity throughout the week, GEO has focused on five key topics - grassroots clubs and courses, tournaments, developments and innovations - with an aim to stimulate and encourage positive climate action from those involved.
