Biodegradable Golf Leather


Recommended Posts

(edited)

Okay, I'm genuinely curious about this "biodegradable leather" trend in golf. Are we talking snake oil here? I mean, golf balls, clubs... they all end up in the water eventually. Is this just greenwashing, or is there actually a real environmental benefit?

And honestly, does it even perform as well as traditional leather? I don't want to sacrifice distance for the planet, you know?

Anyone with real-world experience with these eco-friendly golf goods? Spill the tea!

I haven't heard much of anything about it. Faux leather, sure. Biodegradable leather? No. No idea.

You're a bit too new, still, to post links.

    • Day 321: range session. Filmed while hitting to check things. Need a little more steep in the backswing, but good check to make sure I’m still on track. Also worked on sand shots for about 20 minutes. 
    • Have you talked with sprinters? Many would disagree that their sport is entirely physical. (I get what you're saying, but we're both speaking from a position, I think, of ignorance on this re: sprinting, or high-level basketball. What if you've missed your last four jump shots? How do you take the next one, or do you start to pass more?)
    • Also, go back to what you were doing when you were here. Start slow, and build from there.
    • Day 37 (6 Jun 25) - Friday men’s group shootout today - started off bogey-par, blew up three with lost ball triple.  Settled in to finish par-bogey, bogey-par-par-bogie 43 front. Opened the back with dbl followed by par, birdie, par, bogey, bogey, par, bogey, bogey to close with a 41 - 84 overall.  All that to cover key takeaways from today:  First - putting was solid with a total of 29 putts; Second - the two blow up holes were followed with pars (learning to leave it behind); Third - off the tee was solid (except for the blow-up on three); Fourth - of the 7 pars - 3 were up and down 1 putts and Fifth - out of position recovery type shots were about trusting the club to execute.  It was a good day - capped by closest to the pin on the par 3 12th hole….
    • And of course, none of that should matter if I’m practicing because it shouldn’t be based on the results of contact. Took me about an hour and a half to calm down to have that realization.
