Suggestions?

I am looking to add something else for golfers to my knit craft projects. I am looking for ideas, I am thinking of knitting golf pouches that would attach to your belt loop to hold your golf ball, tees, markers, cell phone, etc. It would have a tight knit and drawstring closure. What do you think?

I do not think this will sell.

I would expand the line of headcovers, creating some different styles, and add more pictures to your website.
Also, perhaps you could somehow tap into the wristband market? These should be really easy to make (I think.. I don't knit!).

Why not? I see a lot of people using these. My Uncle and Grandpa both use them, they keep tees, ball markers, a couple balls, repair tools, and other things. Come golf time the just empty everything into their pockets. It is much easier than going through different pockets of your golf bag trying to find what you need.

With all the different shapes and sizes of putters I'd think that custom putter covers might be in demand...different sports themes, college/pro mascots, etc. You would probably have to visit the pro shop now and then to measure for patterns.

Wristbands?? hmmmm

Do golfers really wear wristbands?
They would be really easy to make and I can make many different
colors! Great idea!

Camillo Villegas, one of the 'more fashionable' new PGA stars wears them a lot, and there are others too (maybe you can send Camillo a few samples!). And you see a lot of all the charity-bracelets around, which has lowered the resistance / (and more importantly) increased the desire for people to add this item to their (golf) wardrobe.
