Green Your Golf: Friday Quickie

In honor of the US Open in Merion this week, here’s a few quick tips to green your golf game:

  1. Walk instead of using the golf cart. You’ll ease up on the gas and burn calories.
  2. Buy recyclable products like biodegradable golf tees & rawhide balls.
  3. Support courses that are sustainable and protect wildlife.
  4. Don’t tamper with protected areas on the course.

Readers, any advice for a greener golf game?
