Edition #12

'Fore' The Future

Golf and sustainability might not seem like an obvious pair, but there’s so much happening to make the game more eco-friendly. Every month, we’ll dive into some examples of how golf is embracing the environment and share how we’re applying those ideas to what we do at Stanners. It’s all about keeping the game we love sustainable—for the planet, the course, and future generations.

Golf has always been a sport built on integrity, respect, and connection to nature. Today, as climate resilience and environmental stewardship become essential parts of the game, sustainability is not just influencing how courses are managed — it’s shaping how players dress, how tournaments are run, and how the industry defines excellence.

At Stanners Golf, we believe sustainable golf fashion is the next evolution of the sport. From materials to manufacturing, every choice we make contributes to a more responsible, forward-thinking future for golf.

Sustainable Golf Fashion: A Movement Gaining Momentum

Across the UK, the conversation around sustainable golf clothing and eco-friendly golf apparel has grown significantly. Players and clubs are increasingly looking for brands that align with their values - ones that prioritise both performance and the planet.

As an ethical golf clothing brand, our mission is to deliver apparel that performs on the green while minimising its environmental footprint. Each collection reflects this commitment, using recycled golf wear UK and organic cotton golf shirt UK options that offer breathability, comfort, and a modern aesthetic without compromise.

Our latest designs, including premium golf polos, demonstrate that sustainability and style can work hand in hand. Whether it’s sustainable golf wear tailored for precision or crafted for versatility, every piece is designed to last — both in quality and conscience.

Three Sustainability-Driven Golf Events Shaping November

This November, sustainability is not just a concept discussed behind the scenes — it’s taking centre stage across the golfing world. Here are three key events driving meaningful change in how golf approaches environmental responsibility:

1. Sustainable Golf Week (11–15 November)

Organised by the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf, Sustainable Golf Week brings together courses, players, and clubs from across the globe to share progress and inspire collective action. This year’s theme, #GolfForCommunities, highlights how golf can give back — not only protecting landscapes but also supporting local biodiversity and community wellbeing.

It’s a celebration of everything the sport can achieve when sustainability becomes part of its DNA — from eco-friendly course operations to the rise of sustainable golf fashion that respects both people and the planet.

2. GCMA Conference & Exhibition 2025 (16–18 November – De Vere Cotswold Water Park, UK)

The Golf Club Managers’ Association (GCMA) Conference, themed “Future Ready,” has placed sustainability as one of its key pillars this year. With experts discussing climate adaptation, water management, and ethical supply chains, the event sets a benchmark for responsible leadership in golf operations.

For Stanners Golf, these discussions resonate deeply. We share the same values of longevity, resilience, and innovation — qualities that guide our approach to creating eco friendly golf apparel UK that performs responsibly from design to delivery.

3. Sustainability in Golf Forum – The K Club, Ireland

The Sustainability in Golf Forum at The K Club is another standout example of collaboration in action. It brings together industry professionals to explore real-world solutions for greener operations — from water and energy management to biodiversity planning. These conversations echo the global shift toward transparency, responsibility, and shared progress in golf.

Such events remind us that sustainability is not achieved in isolation. It’s the sum of actions — from how a course uses water, to how a golfer chooses their shirt.

The Bigger Picture: Wearing Change with Purpose

As clubs modernise irrigation systems, championships eliminate plastic bottles, and tournaments engage fans around climate responsibility, golf is clearly evolving. Apparel plays a vital part in that transformation.

Choosing sustainable golf clothing isn’t just about personal preference; it’s a statement of alignment with the sport’s future. Every plant-derived quarter zip, every recycled polyester strand of our caps, every stitch of a premium eco-friendly polo shirt is part of a shared vision — one that honours the tradition of golf while preparing it for generations to come.
