Make Big Money Installing Custom Putting Greens
Golf is a big game. With big names in the sport over the years making names for themselves, everyone wants to play. It’s a game of skill, demanding that the player uses the right club, and hits the ball correctly, depending on variable conditions such as the weather, the landscape and what deal he is trying to break.
The moneymen and women of America play golf weekly, some even daily and the golf course has been for many years an extension of the boardroom. For those new executives who don’t play golf, however, there’s a lot of practice to be put in to the ‘putting’.
Advances in technology however have provided the golf training aid market with the ultimate in affordable semi-portable synthetic putting greens. This is one of the fastest growing segments of the golf industry - a $5.9 Billion industry. Although in the past sand-filled polypropylene greens have been used, they are difficult and costly to install. Hi-tech greens are made from nylon, which has the advantage of “memory”. The fibers of this synthetic grass will “remember” where they were before being swept at or trodden on. Maintenance is minimal with the nylon putting green.
Different sized greens naturally command different prices; these are tailored for the buyers available space and budget. Starting price is around $300, and suppliers of putting greens have opportunities for dealers and installers across the country. For instance the ‘All Pro Putting Greens’ suggest that a daily net income of $400-$1,000 PER DAY is possible simply by selling and installing their kits. You can visit their site at the link above to register with them. Meanwhile, if you are more interested in investing in a distribution deal, visit Synthetic Turf International whose Distributorship investments begin at $7500. This company will supply you with a wealth of promotional material and demonstration equipment, as well as potential customers in your area.
Remember, this is a market teeming with money. Taking advantage of the greens simple installation procedure will increase your income in this field. Simply describing the greens as “requiring installation” will encourage your buyers to pay you extra to install them. Your Middle American customer base wants to improve their golf and meet their colleagues and superiors on the golf course - and need this product to get them there.
Installation isn’t by any means complicated. However if the user has a garden installation in mind, some rudimentary garden landscaping knowledge will be necessary. However, it should not be too difficult to hire someone with this knowledge to work with you until you are comfortable installing the greens single-handed.
It is an exciting opportunity - now is the time to get involved and profit. Remember to research your market and your product before committing, however, and learn about the game to enable you to engage with your customers. If they see that you know the game, they will be more likely to buy from you than from a competitor.
