Need opinions on portable driving range

[pdrman]

I have recently attended the 2005 PGA Merchandise show as a first time exhibitor and it was a great experience. My product was warmly received and even written up in golfweek.com .

I am trying to find out if golfers have alternative areas to practice other than a driving range. I am fortunate enough to live in a city that has an area to practice golf.

Thanks for you time.

Hi Pdrman,
I know one of my friends recently bought a condo that has an indoor golf simulator and one that has an indoor chip/putting area. The place I will be living in has a driving cage. Besides going to the domes and other facilities around the GTA I can't think of anywhere else to practise over the winter. Your product is a great idea however I dont see anyone who can take advantage of this unless you have acres of land on your property. Good luck!

Focker,


Thanks for the nice words. I developed my device down in Texas where there is some open land and hopefully others will be able to see the value in it. I'm just a regular golfer nut who thought that I could save people some money.

I'm currently out here in San Diego and have noticed fewer and fewer kids playing golf these days out here. I'm afraid golf is getting so expensive that a dad can't take his kid out to learn golf.

I always think of Moe Norman and how he used to practice. You better work at a driving range to do that these days.

Damn I wish I lived in a building with a simulator, I'd probably wouldn't be on this computer right now.
