Clunk! A nice drive slices to the right and pops into a watery abyss – never to be seen again. What will become of that golf ball….where will it go…..what will it see?

Well, maybe that’s a bit too wordsmith-y.

Fact of the matter is: it’s littering. Many clubs don’t remove balls from the water (especially if it’s a natural body of water), which means that piece of dimpled plastic will sit forever. Now, I’m not going to argue that it’s going to leech some carcinogenic material and kill all the fish in the ocean – but it’d be nice to go home at the end of the day without upsetting a natural habitat with materials that have no business hanging around.

Cool then to see this development – http://bit.ly/b1zP9L – biodegradable golf balls that turn to fish food within 48 hours. Hello cruise ship, beach, and pier practice drives!

Doubtful it’s going to catch on to the PGA circuit, but cool nonetheless. And definitely “food” for thought.

Sorry, couldn’t resist….

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to posted a quick note from our operations side and the eco-movement.  We are collaborating with our manufacturers to bring more options that adhere to our strict green qualifications.  As we both become more experienced with new fabric options, we should be able to retain all (and even add even additional) transitional performance features that mark every SP product!

Hey, everyone – wishing you all the best in 2010. Looking forward to connecting with you, somehow, soon.

Best,

SP

Creating site content is a tedious process – I’m sure that comes as no surprise. For example, many of you may notice that our “SP & the Environment” section is…wait for it….still not up.

We’ve never had a “real” environmental focus before. It’s not that we didn’t care about mother Gaia, or that we neglected to heed the words of Al Gore. It just wasn’t a playmaker in the past – despite being a deep care of the entire team.

So now we’ve decided to DO something. And that means content needs to be created – which means we have to beautifully sculpt our stance on environmentalism – and document what we doing, RIGHT NOW, to make the world a better place.

Not as easy as I would like, but then again, it wouldn’t be worth it if it was.

Back to typing…

Hey everyone,
Just a message our there regarding our eco-focus. We plan on utilizing our green approach even beyond our product line into our day to day business activity. This will include our shipping methods, transportation methods, etc. More to come soon!
