Worthless, useless, pointless.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Hi, Looking for some feedback please on a new product I am working on developing - it's a mulligan ball holder with velcro glove holder on bottom

I don't think I would buy it.  I put the ball in my pocket.  My push cart has a ball holder as well.  Lastly, I would worry that the plastic tabs would break.

I don't take "mulligans".... My glove is either on my hand or in my back pocket. So, what @Shorty said.

I agree with @Shorty 100%. It's a solution searching for a problem. I think I'm going to invent a pocket that clips onto your pocket.

I don't think it is a terrible idea. I do find a golf ball in my pocket distracting sometimes but a belt clip just looks amateurish. And yeah, the word "mulligan" will quickly turn off any serious golfers, though I can't think of good name because there really is no appealing way to refer to losing a ball.

The Provisional Ball Holder, haha

Yeah, this product is dumb. Even if someone doesn't like carrying balls in their pocket, they'll just put one in there on the odd tee shot where they have their bags far from the tee box and are worried about a lost ball. This would be something Batman would have on his belt if he were playing golf. Along with Bogey Repellent Bat-Spray, haha.

In other words, their target market is essentially limited to vigilante superhero golfers.

I already have one.

It's called a pocket.

Maybe I should have filed for a patent on it.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I think it's a neat idea.... ......if you want to look like a dork. Concealed carry is the way to go - if you need a back-up weapon, go with an ankle holster.

I hope you didn't spend much developing that prototype. I don't think many serious golfers will flock to it, but if you look at all the gimmicks in Golf Galaxy, you may realize they can be sold. It amazes me how many people I see walking out of GG with impulse buys. I think you should cater to that market.

I apologize for having a spam URL in my signature and will not do it again.
