The oldest golf course in England is making a major change — no more plastic tees.
According to The Telegraph, Royal North Devon Golf Club in Northam, England, recently decided at a committee meeting to allow only wooden tees. As for the reason for the ban? It’s due to the fear of the harm they could cause animals and birds who eat them. The National Golf Club Managers’ Association told The Telegraph that Royal North Devon Golf Club is believed to be the first club to have banned plastic tees.
The ban begins on Jan. 1, 2020.
