What about lead tape for golf? My putter has a strip of it on the sole. I don’t lick it or anything but is it shedding contaminants constantly?



Yes, it's depositing some lead on surfaces it contacts, including likely the grass on the green. That said, if the tape isn't wearing away and requiring regular replacement, the amounts likely are trivial. A quick search suggests that lead-free alternatives such as Tungsten-based weight tape are becoming available.
