I wanted to get some feedback on the idea of adapting the Top Golf idea to fit Disc Golf. (www.topgolf.com if you don't know what I am talking about). Basically they have small gps chips in their golf balls and you get points for getting close to different targets on the driving range. It is similar to bowling in the way that each player gets a set number of shots(frames).
I think this could easily be adapted to have a Top Disc Golf. My idea is to limit it to 6 to 10 different discs(could be sponsored by a disc manufacturer). You could provide one mold each of under stable, stable and over stable fairway drivers as well as a mold of understable, stable and over stable distance drivers. You could have a kids set too. You could put GPS chips in the discs so they cannot be stolen and their flight patterns could be tracked along with a point total on a scoreboard. You could set it up almost identical to a top golf layout with several stories and even throw some obstacles out in the field to make some of the targets harder to get to.
I wanted to run this idea by the target market before putting together a business plan for Top Golf. I would take it to them first to avoid the lawsuit.
Do you think people would go? If so, what would you be willing to pay for a 20shot each game? People who have been to a Top Golf, what would you like to see changed or what did you not like?
I think it would be pretty cool to bring some of your non disc golfing friends to drink and throw some discs at night. I think this would make them more open to learning our sport than if you took them out to a course.
Thank you for your feedback!
