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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to environmental stewardship and climate action, even the smallest decision can make a huge difference,\u201d said Jonathan Smith, Executive Director of the international non-profit GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf. \u201cWhether it\u2019s 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. Ensuring we provide a world where golf is still playable for future generations,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-245918\" src=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SGW_scorecard.png\" alt=\"Sustainable Golf Week shows golfers how to make a difference\" width=\"970\" height=\"652\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With a range of daily highlights, features and social activity available to interact with throughout the week, GEO has focused on five key topics &#8211; grassroots clubs and courses, tournaments, developments and innovations &#8211; with an aim to stimulate and encourage positive climate action from those involved. Whether it\u2019s land conservation or water management, Sustainable Golf Week is designed to help connect people across golf to explore ways to tackle the biggest environmental challenges that golf and society faces.<\/p>\n<p>Leading partners and collaborators with GEO Foundation in the acceleration of sustainability in and through golf include The R&amp;A, European Tour group, Ryder Cup Europe, Ladies European Tour, LPGA, The Toro Company, Dow, Vidauban Foundation, Visit Scotland, Galvin Green, Motocaddy, Provision Events, Ocean Tee, Sky Sports, IAGTO and some 50 industry federations and associations across 25 countries. The effort is closely aligned beyond golf, including UN Sport for Climate Action, The Gold Standard and ISEAL Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200bTo find out more about Sustainable Golf Week and GEO Foundation and how to get involved visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainable.golf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>sustainable.golf\/sustainablegolfweek<\/strong><\/a> or follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sustainablegolf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>@sustainablegolf<\/strong><\/a> on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From biodegradable tees to making space for wildlife, Scorecard provides tips for more sustainable golfing <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245915,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-245859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sustainability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.6 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sustainable Golf Week shows golfers how to make a difference - Golf Today<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sustainable Golf Week shows golfers how to make a difference\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From biodegradable tees to making space for wildlife, Scorecard provides tips for more sustainable golfing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Golf Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-10-05T14:29:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-11-03T09:27:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Berkhamstead.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"675\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"The Editorial Team\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"The Editorial Team\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/\",\"name\":\"Sustainable Golf Week shows golfers how to make a difference - Golf Today\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Berkhamstead.jpeg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-10-05T14:29:02+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-11-03T09:27:52+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/#\/schema\/person\/2a5385905c87c8218d8da413c1616189\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/sustainable-golf-week-shows-golfers-how-to-make-a-difference\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Berkhamstead.jpeg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Berkhamstead.jpeg\",\"width\":1200,\"height\":675,\"caption\":\"Berkhamstead Golf Club, England.
