Tupperware for Dudes -- The Golf Club Party
Women go to jewelry parties, Tupperware parties and cookware parties to name a few. These don't translate to men. How about a Golf Club party, where guys can go out on the links, and actually use some clubs to hit, and then have the chance to buy them? Incidentally, women might enjoy this, too!
Q1: How much could one charge for attending a "golf club party" over the regular price of 18 holes and a cart? While this wouldn't be the big source of revenue, the price point to attend a "party" could either be an attraction, or a repellent to potential customers.
Idea Description
I envision a Tupperware-type set up where a "salesperson" would accompany a group of golfers (men AND women) out on a course, for a small fee above the normal 18 hole fee. The company would have many different clubs to choose from on each swing. Over the course of 18 holes, the golfer would get an idea of what club(s) might be a good fit. The golfer would then have the chance to buy the "used" club(s), or purchase the club new from the company. At the end of the season, all the clubs could be sold used at a local golf store.
This could even be attractive for parties where golfers just want a chance to golf with high end clubs -- perhaps for birthdays or bachelor/bachelorette parties.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I will Develop a sounds business plan with the help of local agencies, such as SCORE. I will probably start to design a website for the business.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs

Cool idea. the difference between tupperware/cookware is that golf clubs cost 600+ for a set of irons. woods...200+ a piece. A tupperware party products are relatively cheap and each person can buy and may even be buy because they feel obligated. how would you find a group, all of whom want to buy clubs? Maybe if you marketed to the very wealthy where buying clubs is like buying groceries. and, just an idea, maybe rather than paying for testing, tack on a charge to the cost of the clubs IF they buy.
Seems like a great concept. If I was in the market for golf clubs, I would love to play a round of golf and "sample" all different types of clubs. By the end of the 18 holes, I would probably have a good idea which clubs I'd like to purchase. Maybe as an incentive to purchase the clubs, if you end up purchasing a set of clubs, your round of golf is free. Just a thought! Good luck.
