We know how to make a good quality golf ball. That's what we do. But we said, why don't we make

something that's a little better for the environment? And there's two issues. One, don't put harmful metals and materials in the golf ball. And two, make something that can be recycled after the fact. So we created the Dixon Earth Golf Ball. It was the first eco-friendly, high-performance golf ball. And we took out all the heavy metals. We actually put in heavy salts that were not harmful to the environment. environment if they were put in landfill or if they were lost in the lake river stream, they wouldn't be harmful at all. So it's not going to biodegrade. It's not going to melt. Yeah, that's the, when you say to somebody, I play with an eco-friendly golf ball, and the first question is it's biodegradable? It dissolves into the environment. And that's what people think. Right. And that was a big

hurdle that we had to get over because they were like, okay, I've got this cute little eco-friendly golf ball.

It's either going to go up in a puff of smoke, it's going to plant a flower on the green, it's going to melt, it's going to explode.

Who cares? You know, that was a lot of the reaction. And so that was part of it. Put better products in the ball, so it's not harmful when it's lost.

And the other one, if it's not lost, let's recycle these things.

Thank you very much, Fred.

wind.

I've talked to instructors who love the product, the Dixon Earth and Dixon Fire.
