Our Story
Alex Nicholson founded Fore! The Planet in 2022 with a love for golf's rich history and the planet that it's played on.
Drawing on twelve years of industry expertise, Alex guides golf clubs to sustainable solutions and a greener future. Today, we proudly support over 100+ UK golf venues, spanning from Royal Dornoch down to St. Enodoc and every mile in between.
We also create planet-friendly golf products, helping golfers purchase sustainably and make a positive impact on the environment.
Innovation born out of frustration
According to Statista, the UK generates over two million metric tons of plastic waste each year. Over 50% of this gets incinerated and just 15% gets recycled.
The golf industry contributes with thousands of plastics, disposables and single-use products discarded every day. An out-dated industry that needs to adapt and change.
Planting a legacy on the planet
Helping save the planet is the overarching mission for our business. Every solution and product sold helps us;
Plant trees in overseas communities.
Collect ocean-bound plastic waste.
Provide clean drinking water to families.
Redefining golf to help save the planet
Alongside Re:Water, we’re on a mission to save 1 million plastic bottles from landfill (via the golf industry) over a 5 year period from 2024-2028.
We want our FTP products to change the way golfers buy merchandise by utilising truly sustaianable materials and giving back generously to the planet.
