Get Great Golf Merchandise, But Keep Your Wallet In Your Pocket!
By Anonymous Woodland Hills, CA August, 2003 – Golf Barter Merchandise of Woodland Hills, CA is marketing a service which lets golf resorts and golf clubs acquire golf merchandise for an agreed-upon price. However, participating golf clubs don’t pay in cash, but ‘trade’ for tee times which Golf Barter Merchandise then sells to wholesalers. The service has, in a short period, become a major hit among golf clubs across the USA.
The Art Of The Deal
The reason for Golf Barter Merchandise’s success is that it’s a win-win situation for all involved. Golf clubs receive top quality merchandise -- complete with their logo and in their own colors -- without paying a nickel in cash. They then sell their hats, towels, etc. to visitors and members, and generate a full profit margin.
The clubs ‘pay’ with tee times (or hotel rooms), which often would have gone unused anyway. Golf Barter Merchandise sells the tee times to its wholesalers (including a vast network of Internet resellers).
Tee Times And Hotel Rooms Are A Perishable Commodity
Each golf course has about 60 tee-time slots in a day, and 240 people can potentially play if all the slots are filled. That is about $6,000 to $30,000 in inventory that the course can hold. And that is how much money it “wastes” if it does not get those slots filled up. The same is true for unused resort hotel rooms. Golf Barter Merchandise always accommodates participating golf clubs so the tee times it acquires are spread evenly over peak/non peak periods.
A Typical Successful Deal
Woodhaven Country Club in Palm Desert, CA is very happy with its recent ‘hat’ barter! They acquired 4,032 hats @ $8.50 embroidered with their own logo. They are now selling the hats to visitors for $18.00 (20% discount for Members) and gave Golf Merchandise Barter $35,000 worth of tee time certificates in exchange -- spread out over a year! No out-of-pocket for Woodhaven and they earn $15.00 - $18.00 per hat!
Company Background
Golf Merchandise Barter was founded by Roger Brunetti after his successful career in travel operations and merchandise promotions. “I always like deals whereby everyone wins and which are easy to explain,” says Roger. “My customers usually pay attention pretty quickly when I tell them that they can get great golf merchandise, but they should keep their wallet in their pocket!”
A Big Hit In the Trade!
Golf Merchandise Barter initially called on prestigious clubs in Palm Springs and Palm Desert, CA, but based on requests has since expanded its marketing nationally. Some of the recent comments made by the Directors of Golf Operations and General Managers were: "This has to be a 'no brainer', why wouldn't I be interested?" and "You mean, I wouldn't have to pay you any cash at all?"

By Anonymous July 14, 2004 -- As summer goes by, thoughts turn to outdoor recreation. For many Americans that mean hitting the fairways and enjoying a few rounds of golf. With the cost of living on the rise a round at the links can be felt in the wallet. Tee Time Golf, Inc has developed a golf pass that allows users to enjoy over 380 golf courses at a significant savings. Tee Time Golf Pass has been developing passes for over five years. From a regional discount book a golf pass book soon took shape gaining golf course in many eastern states. In the past several years, Tee Time Golf used discounting experience to expand into the southern states and to develop a discount travel book.
The Tee Time Golf pass is designed to be used easily. The user simply calls for a tee time in advance and identifies himself as a Tee Time Golf pass holder. Many courses offer free greens fee with the rental of a cart or allow a player to play for free with a paid green fee. Tee Time Golf Passes are valid all year around and expire December 31.
In a game that brings friends together the word quickly spread. Jack Chmielewski of Arlington, Va. proclaimed that "Tee Time paid for itself the first week I had it..." Many golfers find that they can save as on average ten to thirty dollars every time that they tee it up.
