Behind the Scenes of Our Florida Keys Photoshoot
Capturing the pure joy of Hitting ZERO™ Balls in Paradise
Enjoying the beautiful Coconut Palm Inn
At Splash City Golf, we believe there’s nothing quite like hitting biodegradable golf balls in paradise. To prepare for the launch of our new ZERO™ Biodegradable Golf Ball, we headed down to the Florida Keys in December for an unforgettable photoshoot.
Why the Florida Keys?
Our slogan is Tee Off in Paradise™ and our goal is to associate our ZERO™ Biodegradable Golf Ball with beautiful waterfront paradises, similar to Corona Beer. The Florida Keys offer some of the most stunning waterfront locations in the world, making this location the ideal place to capture the beauty of hitting biodegradable golf balls at incredible resorts, marinas, and homes.
We were fortunate to partner with some truly breathtaking locations, including:
🏝️ Baker’s Cay Resort (https://www.bakerscay.com/)
🌊 Islander Resort (https://www.islanderfloridakeys.com/)
🌴 Coconut Palm Inn (https://www.coconutpalminn.com/)
☀️ The Reefhouse Resort & Marina (https://www.opalcollection.com/reefhouse/)
🎯 Mar-Key (https://mar-key-islamorada.com/)
🌅 Three Waters Resort & Marina (https://www.islamoradaresortcollection.com/three-waters-resort)
🏡 A stunning private waterfront home
Each venue had its own unique charm—whether it was hitting shots over white sand beaches, sending biodegradable golf balls soaring past towering palm trees, or teeing off against a backdrop of the sun setting over the water.

Bringing the Vision to Life with Nada Jones-Khalaf
A picture of Nada in action!
To accomplish our photoshoot goals for the trip, we worked with the incredibly talented photographer and videographer, Nada Jones-Khalaf. Nada spent the week following us and capturing the joy of the water golf experience.
Nada specializes in capturing motion, light, and nature in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there in the moment. From slow-motion golf swings framed by golden-hour light to drone shots capturing the GolfShotBot™ Floating Golf Target in the vast beauty of the ocean, every detail was designed to showcase the magic of waterfront golf.
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re planning a waterfront photoshoot, work with a photographer who understands how to balance sunlight, reflections on water, and motion—it makes all the difference!
A Special Holiday Party at Mar-Key 🎉

One of the unexpected highlights of our December trip was getting invited to a holiday party at Mar-Key, where we had the chance to introduce water golf to the local community.
We set up our GolfShotBot™ Floating Golf Target, passed out some ZERO™ Biodegradable Golf Balls, and let the locals take their best shots. Watching people tee off under the majesty of the palm trees, feeling the breeze off the bay, and aiming for a floating target in the distance was the perfect reminder of why we love what we do.
Making New Friends & A Friendly Betting Competition

We quickly found out that waterfront golf brings people together—and turns even strangers into instant friends.
As people lined up to take their shots at the GolfShotBot™ Floating Golf Target, it didn’t take long before a friendly betting game broke out. Drinks were on the line, as were bragging rights, and before we knew it, a full-blown competition was happening under the lights and island music of the holiday party.
Some players took the "grip it and rip it" approach, while others carefully lined up their shots, determined to dial in their accuracy. The crowd cheered every near miss and exploded when someone finally landed a shot on the target.
The night wasn't just about golf—it was about the community, the connections, and the energy of sharing a fun and unique experience with new friends. By the end of the party, we had a whole new group of waterfront golf fans who were already talking about setting up their own driving ranges at their docks and resorts.
Final Thoughts: A Photoshoot to Remember
From luxury resort backdrops to stunning private waterfront homes, our Florida Keys photoshoot was an unforgettable experience that truly captured the essence of waterfront golf.
🌊 The ZERO™ Biodegradable Golf Ball is here. Golf by the water—without harming the water.
