Part of it is because golfers do buy a lot of "stuff" in the search for lower scores. For the most part, golfers focus more on stuff they can buy to fix their shot, rather than actually working hard to fix their shot.

Go to one of the 100 sq. ft. Golfsmiths or Roger Dunns in your area to see if what you are thinking of hasn't already been done, and to see what is already out there that may be similar.

The selling of golf related stuff is a very crowded, competitive field, but on the upside there is a lot of it sold.
I hear ya. The last thing I'd do is try to get a conventional distribution deal. I'm more apt to see if I could get a celebrity to play with the thing and make a mystery out of it. Or put it in the hands of a trick shot specialist and Youtube the bejeezus out of it.

Strictly guerrilla marketing for me.

If this doesn't work (and it's looking difficult), I will open up that drawer that has 30 years of ideas and throw another dart.

Uhmmmmm... darts....
