Dixon Recyclable Golf Balls Attract Celebrity Attention

Dixon Golf, an Arizona golf ball maker has designed balls that are eco-friendly. The company is selling the Fire golf ball which will retail for $74.95 per dozen. Previously released lines, the Earth and Wind series of balls retail for $39.95 and $29.95 per dozen. The Fire golf ball is designed for professional players or those with low handicaps and will be sold at PGA Tour Superstores. The ball features Dixon's Elastodynamic recyclable cover. The balls are totally recyclable and made from processable materials. Even the packaging is made from 100% recycled material. The Dixon Golf official grand opening of a new facility in Tempe was attended by "Hercules" actor Kevin Sorbo.

The brand has already attracted a high-profile celebrity endorsement from actor Don Cheadle. On the Dixon Golf website a quote from Cheadle proclaims that he is a "a single digit handicapper and feel that the Dixon Earth ball fits my game as well as any ball out there. It is refreshing to be associated with a company that shares my love of golf and the environment."
Dixon Golf has created the world's first high-performance eco-friendly golf balls. Unlike some Golf Ball Brands that use harsh heavy-metal pollutants like tungsten, cobalt, lead or contain non-renewable synthetic materials and compounds; all balls manufactured by Dixon Golf are "green" to the core. They are 100% recyclable and made from reprocessable materials. Even the packaging is made from 100% recycled material.

Thistle & Broom Talisman Golf Ball Markers

Out of the many companies making golf ball markers, Thistle & Broom, Scotland's luxury goods producer, might have the most natural right to do so since. Their new Talisman ball marker is named after the Scottish golf course located in the geographical region in which the semi-precious stone used for the market was found. The markers come in 18K gold or sterling silver bezels. The Talisman range currently includes: the Royal Dornach in deep purple amethyst, branched moss agate chosen for Carnoustie, smoky Cairngorms for Speyside's Boat of Garten, grey and pale pink East Sands banded agates for St. Andrew's, mulberry jasper for Loch Lomond and a mustard and persimmon Burn Anne agate for Turnberry. These are some of the most simple and beautiful ball markers I've seen out there.

Golf Ball Finder

The BallFinder SCOUT, a golf ball finder, uses a video-based camera to find those lost golf balls. As long as 1% of a white golf ball (yes, it has to be white ball) is showing, this device, which can search up to 600 square feet in one second or almost 1/7 of an acre in 10 seconds, will find it. According to Sanderon, the company which makes the device, quickly being able to find your ball will speed up your game and you'll save money if you're not constantly losing balls. Additionally, I'd point out that this would be good for senior players who can't always locate their golf balls. Price: $270
