Start An Online Golf Gear Store

Research by the R&A and Sports Marketing Surveys shows golf has enjoyed a significant increase in popularity. The number of golf players increased to over 66 million, a trend that shows golf is enjoying a real boom in popularity.

If you love sports and planning to start a sporting gear business, you may consider an online golf gear shop.

Starting an online golf gear shop is easier than you think. You can create a dropshipping website and partner with sports gear manufacturers and suppliers so they ship the orders to the consumers. Another option is to start designing and selling golf gear online, which will require an enormous investment compared to creating an online dropshipping golf gear shop.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a online golf gear store:

1. INFINITE DISCS ($12M/year)

Alan Barker, the founder of Infinite Discs, started the business as a side project after playing disc golf in 2012.

Barker capitalized on the growing popularity of disc golf and created the most user-friendly website with informative content, a wide range of inventory, and unique disc artwork. The business now generates $12 million annually and employs over 50 people.
