Why Everyone Should Be Using Bamboo Golf Tees

If you're still using wooden or plastic golf tees, it’s time to rethink your tee game. At Green Swing, we believe that your small choices on the golf course can have a big impact—on your performance, your style, and the planet. That's why bamboo golf tees are at the heart of everything we do.

With an ever-growing range of shapes, sizes, and colours, our bamboo tees are the superior alternative to both plastic and wood. And once you make the switch, you’ll never go back.

🌱 Why Say No to Plastic Golf Tees?

Let’s start with the obvious culprit: plastic tees.

They may seem convenient, but they come with a long list of environmental and performance drawbacks. Plastic doesn’t break down in nature, meaning every plastic tee that breaks or gets left behind can linger on the course (or in a landfill) for hundreds of years. Worse still, many courses are now banning plastic tees altogether due to the environmental damage they cause to wildlife and grass-cutting equipment.

Even from a player’s perspective, plastic tees can be too rigid, potentially damaging your clubface and affecting your shots.

It's time to bin the plastic—and never look back.

🌳 What About Wooden Tees?

Wooden tees have long been the traditional option, but traditional doesn’t always mean better.

Most wooden tees are made from slow-growing hardwood trees, meaning they’re not a sustainable resource. They’re also prone to snapping, meaning golfers burn through large quantities quickly. The breakage rate, plus the environmental cost of harvesting and processing hardwood, makes them a less-than-ideal choice for modern golfers.

In contrast, bamboo grows quickly, regenerates naturally, and is one of the most sustainable raw materials on the planet.

🎋 Why Bamboo Golf Tees Are the Future

At Green Swing, we use strong, durable Moso bamboo to create tees that are biodegradable, flexible, and long-lasting. Our tees are more than just sustainable—they’re designed for performance, with stylish touches and helpful features to elevate your game.
