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.
Golf clubs are starting to transition towards a greener future, but progress is sporadic.
Golfers deserve quality products that showcase incredible design but don’t cost the earth.
Planting a lasting legacy
We’re all members of one very exclusive club, planet earth. Together, we must do more to ensure that golf’s legacy of today is one of truly positive impact, and not environmental neglect.
Every solution and product sold helps us fund 3 incredible causes:
Planting trees in overseas communities.
Collecting ocean-bound plastic waste.
Providing clean drinking water to families.
Redefining golf to help save the planet
By helping golf clubs win the fight against plastic waste;
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.
By creating incredible products for golfers, sustainably;
We want our FTP products to change the way golfers buy merchandise by utilising truly sustaianable materials and giving back generously to the planet.
