20+ Years Golf Equipment Brand | Strong IP in 5 Countries | Growing YOY | Proprietary Molds | $350 AOV
Deal Pipe® presents a legacy Golf Equipment Company with over 2 Decades of industry presence, built on a foundation of Trademarked Innovation, direct-to-consumer engagement, and premium product design. This brand specializes in high-performance golf gear, with a standout portfolio that includes a suite of proprietary putters, custom irons, woods, balls, and accessories. With an unmatched dedication to quality and customer feedback, the company has built a loyal following among golfers of all skill levels—from casual weekend players to seasoned professionals.
Business Model
Operating under a direct sales model, this company thrives through in-person demo days at local putting greens, which account for approximately 95% of all transactions. The remainder comes from a modest online presence via Shopify, which boasts a healthy $350 average order value. Despite no spend on advertising, email marketing, or SEO, the company consistently generates between $140,000 and $167,000 in annual sales – highlighting the power of its brand reputation, trademarked technology, and word-of-mouth momentum.
The company’s 9 proprietary putter models are manufactured using molds owned outright by the business, giving it full control over quality and product exclusivity. All manufacturing is handled overseas through three highly reliable suppliers in China and Taiwan. Products are delivered to the U.S. and stored in a 600-square-foot garage workspace, where final kitting and quality control are conducted personally by the owner. Inventory levels remain lean but efficient, with approximately 1,000 units on hand at any given time.
Product Differentiation & IP Advantage
The crown jewels of this business are its trademarked putters. These are not rebranded off-the-shelf clubs – they are purpose-engineered designs tested and ranked as the top-performing putters in the U.S. by third-party reviewers. Some large equipment manufacturers have even mimicked the designs, with one copycat model becoming the top-selling putter in Japan. But the original remains a fan favorite, known for superior feel, accuracy, and durability. These IP-protected products give the brand an enduring edge in a highly competitive space.
The product line is rounded out by custom-designed golf balls, fairway woods, irons, and head covers – offering a comprehensive suite of golf essentials under one cohesive brand.
Operations
The company is run by a single owner who spends only a few hours per week on light operational tasks, including product design, customer interaction at demo days, and back-end fulfillment. There are no employees, marketing campaigns, or agencies currently engaged. This minimal overhead structure contributes to a high-margin, efficient operation with plenty of room for scalability.
The business was informally launched in 2005 and later formalized in 2018. Today, it remains one of the few equipment brands that engages golfers face-to-face, offering real-time product testing and immediate purchase opportunities—resulting in a uniquely strong customer bond and high repeat purchase rates.
Growth Opportunities
Despite its success, the business has only scratched the surface of its potential. The absence of digital marketing, SEO, or paid media represents an enormous runway for a savvy buyer. A new owner could:
• Launch Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ad campaigns targeting golf enthusiasts.
• Expand Shopify’s reach through optimized SEO, influencer partnerships, and product reviews.
• Develop B2B distribution with golf retailers, country clubs, and golf resorts.
• Create an affiliate or ambassador program featuring amateur and pro golfers.
• Scale operations into a larger 2,000-square-foot facility to better manage growing inventory and future staffing needs.
Given the quality of the product and the strength of its IP, this business could realistically scale to $1M–$10M in annual revenue under the right leadership and marketing infrastructure.
