Some states, and municipalities charge for them, or outright ban them entirely.

Let’s see, many golfers never fill in divots, repair ball marks, rake sand traps, or keep up with the pace of play, and there is no recourse. If golfers can get away with that, do you really think there would be enforcement of a ban on plastic tees, if there even was one?

Our governor took our plastic bags away up in NJ. You know, those bags you get to take your groceries from the supermarket, then reuse them a few times for other purposes like picking up neighbor’s dog poop on your yard, cleaning out a litter box, lining your own trashcan under the counter…

We are playing senior golf! None of us on the executives courses are getting paid. We are there to get out and enjoy ourselves. May move slowly and take many swings on the course! Just chill out!!!

My humble opinion if jeans are allowed, they are, then why have a dress code. All that’s required is a collared shirt. I asked a started Friday morning about 3 men wearing jeans. Was told the course owner wore jeans, therefore it was allowed.

Florida does not care about the environment. We should do away with plastic bags, plastic laundry containers and anything else we can replace with something else. Also, the foam containers that are not biodegradable. But, unfortunately, money and convenience are more important than the environment.
