Keeping it GREEN

Dixon Golf has created the world’s first high-performance eco-friendly golf balls. Unlike other Golf Ball Brands that use harsh heavy-metal pollutants like tungsten, cobalt and lead, and 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 renewable materials. Even the packaging is made from 100% recycled material.
Recycle Program
Dixon Golf gives a $1.00 ball for ball credit towards the purchase of Dixon Earth golf balls for every Dixon ball recycled in a Dixon Golf Recycle Center located at a participating retailer. Dixon Golf gives a $0.50 ball for ball credit for any other brand of golf ball recycled in a Dixon Golf Recycle Center.

Future products include hats and golf shirts made from recycled plastic bottles and bamboo.
