Ball Retriever

Thank you golfers for loosing Your Golf ball

It has for many years been of interest to me why golfers disgard a golf ball that has cost a good few pounds previously in the pro shop or clubhouse, at todays prices this can be quite an expensive hobby for some less fortunate.

5 years ago i walked my 6 week old dog on a local course, within minutes my new friend had run in to the hedgerow and came out with a nice shiny white ball between her tiny white teeth, not thinking anything strange, this continued on a daily basis followed by a very large amount of golf balls piling up at my home, this causing my wife to start shouting get rid of them golf balls, they are all over the place, so we ventured in advertising through Internet sites and the response was immediate, my dog will have a good dinner through the proceeds.

Weeks turned in to months and we were stockpiling every make and colour of ball you could imagine, we cleaned each ball, checked each ball for damage, developed our own cleaning formula, and orders flowed from the uk, ireland, and europe, it was on a visit to europe that i was concerned on how to actually achieve more interest in getting the public awareness of buying a golf ball, i do not own a shop or a golf outlet, how can i attract interest, at this stage of enjoying Luxembourg city centre i called at a very quaint bar tucked away in a side street, on entering i was greeted by a young polite man who turned out to be from Newcastle in the UK.

Craig introduced himself to me in real geordie accent, and we clicked and chatted and became good friends, whenever possible i would go back and see him, mainly because he served a really good pint, to which i like, as we chatted i told him that i was looking at ways of promoting the sale of a golf ball, it was then i realised the answer was staring me in the corner of my eye, in the corner tucked away was a little machine which was selling novelty products, i thought maybe? after a few more pints could be? after a few more pints its going to be?

This was the start of a new journey, craig made contact with a man who was interested to meet me, the meeting was arranged in craigs pub the following week, tests were done and trials began, i made the decision to purchase some machines, then made fleeing visits to various bars and shops who agreed to trial, 4 weeks later nothing not a ball sold, we then changed to other venues and soon the golf ball was selling at 2 euro a ball which was great for a retrieved ball, i then made the point of introducing the same concept back in england, it wasnt long before i was selling the odd machine to golf clubs and other golf related outlets, then i started offering the machine to the pub trade from that point i wanted to provide a state of the art machine and my search began.

Finally i have found the machine that will compete with the best vendors in the world, smart and compact will stand on a stand, will free stand on a bar, or wall mount for the office or hotel absolute perfect.

So confident of the machine we set about "Trademark" which has been processed for our complete protection, we expect it to run smoothly and our legal expert cannot see any reason why it shouldnt, so i am excited that my dog who inspired all this from the start will join the elite breed of dogs who have trademark protection on there name and goods in the future.

So all you golfers thank you very much, out of you loosing a ball someone has developed a niche market in the way a golf ball is now brought.
