And how does that make him compare to other athletes? The mountaineers, for example, the divers or the tennis players?<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who investigates this question discovers: there is a lack of current data in the first place. While there are now numerous studies and reports on the carbon footprint of events, there is hardly any data on normal individual athletes, either in science or from associations or clubs. And this by no means applies only to golfers, but also to those active in numerous other sports.<\/p>\n<p>If you want an assessment on golf, you will find the study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1441352318300184\">The carbon footprint of active sports participants<\/a>, published in 2018 by <strong>Pamela Wicker at the German Sport University in Cologne<\/strong>. Here, the data of 6537 athletes from a total of 20 sports in Germany were collected to calculate their respective individual CO\u2082 footprint when practising sports. Among them were 113 golfers, who were compared with hikers, surfers, volleyball players, tennis players or, for example, triathletes.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/pga-und-dp-world-tour-2023-das-jahr-der-co2-zaehlung\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"hBcCjj5op1\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/pga-and-dp-world-tour-2023-the-year-of-co2-counting\/\">PGA und DP World Tour: 2023 das Jahr der CO2-Z\u00e4hlung<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;PGA und DP World Tour: 2023 das Jahr der CO2-Z\u00e4hlung&#8221; &#8212; Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/pga-and-dp-world-tour-2023-the-year-of-co2-counting\/embed\/#?secret=HQDVHO5SOl#?secret=hBcCjj5op1\" data-secret=\"hBcCjj5op1\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Travel drives up an annual average<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Result: In the end, <strong>golfers<\/strong> were the group with the highest CO\u2082 footprint after <strong>divers<\/strong> and before <strong>surfers<\/strong>. All three sports came to a value of over 2000 kg CO\u2082 per year, while the <strong>average value for individual sports was 1006.5 kg CO\u2082<\/strong>, and for team and racket sports (tennis and table tennis) 514 kg CO\u2082. The high scores for the sports of scuba diving, golf and surfing were &#8220;mainly caused by travel related to vacations,&#8221; according to the study.<\/p>\n<p>The athletes were not only asked about their training and playing habits in their home town but also about their participation in tournaments, day trips and travel. With regard to regular daily play and training, skaters caused the highest CO\u2082 value, followed by American football players and hikers. Golfers landed in 4th place here with an average value of 565.5 kg CO\u2082.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.7 kg CO\u2082 for one day of golf<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Current calculations on the CO\u2082 footprint of golfers can hardly be found. For <strong>Swiss Golf<\/strong>, the Swiss company Umtec 2021 presented a <strong>life cycle assessment and eco-efficiency analysis<\/strong> for six golf courses, which also took the individual golfer into account. The Swiss achieved a <strong>value of 10.7 kg CO\u2082 per day<\/strong>, considering 15 km of travel to and from the course. However, the calculations are not comparable with a CO\u2082 accounting of EU countries according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ghgprotocol.org\/\">Greenhouse Gas Protocol<\/a>, as the calculation takes other components into account.<\/p>\n<p>The German <a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/co%e2%82%82-footprint-gc-neuhof-calculates-emissions\/\">GC Neuhof has also dealt with the issue and determined 2020 values<\/a>. Here, too, <strong>10.2 kg CO\u2082 per round of golf was calculated as an average<\/strong>, considering the golfer&#8217;s arrival and departure. The result is thus relatively close to that of the Swiss calculation, although the data collection is not identical.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raising awareness of the CO\u2082 issue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One thing is sure: The topic of CO\u2082 calculation is generally still in its infancy in individual sports. Associations in particular, are usually overwhelmed by both the amount of work and the cost involved in calculating the data. For the athlete himself, it is probably also not crucial at the moment to know his exact CO\u2082 footprint when practising his hobby. Instead, it is a matter of initial classifications of benchmarks and raising awareness of the topic. Only those who address the issue of their personal footprint at all can improve it in the end.<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oCvnIwbtIIE\" title=\"Less plastic waste at the golf club\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oCvnIwbtIIE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-7hra3-318db28a591c8f238cb2db5b9b4a7082 av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this entry<\/h5><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/co2-and-golf-what-is-the-footprint\/&#038;t=CO2%20and%20golf%3A%20What%20is%20the%20footprint%3F' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on X\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=CO2%20and%20golf%3A%20What%20is%20the%20footprint%3F&#038;url=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/?p=19101' data-av_icon='\ue932' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on X'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on X<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/co2-and-golf-what-is-the-footprint\/' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-pinterest avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Pinterest\" href='https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgolfsustainable.com%2Fen%2Fco2-and-golf-what-is-the-footprint%2F&#038;description=CO2%20and%20golf%3A%20What%20is%20the%20footprint%3F&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fgolfsustainable.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F02%2FDesign-ohne-Titel-23-705x397.jpg' data-av_icon='\ue8f8' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Pinterest'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=CO2%20and%20golf%3A%20What%20is%20the%20footprint%3F&#038;url=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/co2-and-golf-what-is-the-footprint\/' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail avia_social_iconfont' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=CO2%20and%20golf%3A%20What%20is%20the%20footprint%3F&#038;body=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/co2-and-golf-what-is-the-footprint\/' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1079,776,755,2591],"tags":[905,1896,1430,1881,1105,812,296],"class_list":["post-19101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-co-neutrality","category-golf-science-en","category-uncategorized","category-spezial-grundlagenwissen","tag-bavarian-golf-association-en","tag-co2-balancing-and-golf","tag-co2-neutrality","tag-co2-neutrality-and-golf","tag-golf-and-carbon-footprint","tag-golf-and-sustainability","tag-golf-sustainable","post_format-post-format-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CO2 and golf: What is the footprint? - Golf Sustainable<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In sports, there is little current data on the CO\u2082 footprint of regular athletes.
