Mesa, AZ – Dixon Golf announced today that the Ka’anapali Golf Resort in Hawaii has decided to “Get On The Green” and carry their 100% Eco-Friendly Earth golf balls.
“The golf industry needs to set an example by showing how we can help to recycle and be innovative to ensure we are ecological in our operations,” comments, Ed Kageyama, PGA General Manager at Ka’anapali Golf Resort. “For example, many people don’t know that the golf course also acts as a filtration system, filtering the chemicals and other toxins from the surrounding housing developments – when it rains, these chemicals filter through and get caught in the grasses and soil of the golf course, instead of running off into our oceans and rivers directly,” he adds.
“From recycled plastics and bamboo threads for apparel to recycling of golf balls, the golf industry is making strides to help keep our environment green,” Kageyama adds.
Why The Dixon Earth Golf Ball
Purchasing Manager, Todd Madden comments, “Hawaiians have always been known as stewards of the land or ‘aina. Along with that theme is the concept of pono, or doing what is right and necessary. The Earth ball is built earth friendly and packaged earth friendly.” Madden goes on, “Simply put, Ka’anapali Golf Resort wants to do what is right for keeping our earth green and encourage our guests to do the same.” The folks at Dixon Earth are keeping it pono – doing the right thing for all of us and we are happy to support such efforts.
About The Ka’anapali Golf Resort
The Ka’anapali Kai Course is a par 70, 6400-yard course and boasts an array of strategically-placed bunkers, contoured fairways, and re-shaped and resurfaced greens. This course is a delight to play with its sweeping ocean vistas and places a premium on strategy off the tee, accuracy with approach shots, and a deft touch around the greens.
The Royal Ka’anapali Course, a Robert Trent Jones Senior design, opened in 1962 and has tested the skills of golf professionals and amateurs alike. A Par 71 stretching 6700 yards, the Royal Course combines wide fairways and undulating greens, making it both distinctive and demanding. Home of the Champions Tour Ka’anapali Classic for 14 years, the Royal Ka’anapali Course also hosted Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf, the Canada Cup and LPGA Kemper Open, donning such golfing greats as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Jan Stephenson and Betsey King.
In February, Ka’anapali hosted the Wendy’s Champions Skins Game and Big Break Ka’anapali, the Golf Channel’s number one series, where 12 ladies compete for an LPGA exemption, sponsorships and a BWM Z4 Coupe. With over 45 years of tournament history, Ka’anapali has tested the skills of some of golf’s legends from across the globe.

Improve The World
Unlike other Golf Ball Brands who use harsh heavy-metal pollutants like tungsten, cobalt and lead, and contain non-renewable synthetic materials and compounds; the Dixon Earth golf ball is “green” to the core. The Earth core is made from a proprietary polymer that maintains the playable properties of the ball, but ensures that it is 100% renewable. Most manufacturers would stop there…not Dixon. Their commitment to the environment and to your golf game is 100%. In addition to the core, the entire Dixon Earth ball is manufactured with materials that can be recycled and used to make other consumer products. But that’s not all! Even the packaging is made from 100% recycled material. From core to cover, from packaging to production, Dixon Earth is setting a new standard in environmental consciousness.
Dixon Golf is working hard to facilitate conservation. Earlier this year, they introduced a cutting edge Incentive Program to encourage golfers to return spent Dixon Earth golf balls for a $1.00 credit towards the purchase of new ones. Each box of Dixon Earth golf balls includes a return mail pouch so golfers can easily mail used golf balls back to Dixon.
Improve Your Game
Amazingly; Dixon didn’t have to sacrifice playability to become environmentally friendly. Just the opposite, the Dixon Earth golf ball plays better than most two-piece golf balls on the market right now and even out performed several three piece urethane cover balls in competitive testing! It plays the distance, spins and sticks on the greens and offers a tremendous amount of “feel” when putting. This ball hasn’t just met…it’s exceeded the expectations of the top critics in the golf industry.
Dixon’s emphasis is on craftsmanship, technology, service and the ability to offer the best golf ball at the best price. Dixon may not be the biggest golf ball brand out there, but they certainly are the best. Their quality and price are unmatched in the industry, and they guarantee 100% Customer Satisfaction on all of the products they make.
The 100% Eco-Friendly Dixon Earth golf ball conforms to USGA standards.
