Our mission

Together for a sustainable golf sport

Golf Square International is a global company that is committed to providing sustainable solutions to the golf industry. One of the ways we do this is by diving worldwide to recover lost and abandoned golf balls from water hazards near golf courses. By doing so, we give these golf balls a second life as sustainable golf balls.

Our mission

  • “What if we can collect and recycle all lakeballs that are now in the water and that are polluting the environment?”
  • This way, not only can we do something for the environment but we are also able to bring these balls back to the greens.
  • Make Golf Square International known to everyone in the golfing world as the partner in recycled products.

Willem Dietvorst

My name is Willem Dietvorst and I graduated as an account manager at the age of 20. Shortly after, I entered the business world and had the privilege of assisting several successful companies. 

As a motivated and dedicated business leader, I carry out my tasks with passion. Challenges? I sink my teeth into them and don't let go until all objectives have been achieved. Day in and day out, I strive to take Golf Square to the next level. Leading Golf Square International remains a daily challenge as we constantly aim to grow and seize new opportunities. My dream is to make Golf Square International known to everyone in the golfing world as the partner in recycled products.

Company

At Golf Square, our goal is to bring as many lakeballs back to the green as possible while recycling the ones that can not be brought back. Cleaning the lakes and improving the environment is the biggest drive behind our team.

Our picking methods

Our picking methods

  • Scuba diving picking

This method is used when the water hazards are deeper than 1 meter.

  • Hand picking

This method is used when the water hazards are shallower than 1 meter and to collect the golf balls on the shore.

  • Machine picking

We use this method in special cases (when the water is extremely deep, when there are dangerous objects around the bottom or the water is too cold).
