You don’t have to be a golfer to notice the wave driving record numbers of new golfers to the sport every year. From teens caught up in the Tiger Woods frenzy to seniors finally having the time to play, the sport has been attracting roughly two million newcomers a year for the past 10 years. And that’s only the beginning because in the US over the next 10 years, aging Baby Boomers alone will drive a 12% increase in this 20 billion dollar industry with annual golf rounds expected to exceed 635 million.

So with all that good news, why do National Golf Foundation (NGF) studies show there as many golfers entering the sport every year as dropping off? Because new golfers want to learn, they want to improve, and they want to look good on the fairway, but they are faced with traditional teaching methods. One experience with a golf pro’s ego in an intimidating and expensive golf course academy environment is enough to send any beginner home humiliated and jaded.

As for experienced golfers, despite the thousands of dollars they’ve spent on lessons and equipment, their frustration lies in their inconsistent golf game. This is due in part to the numerous teaching methods they’ve been taught by numerous golf pros over the years that have not yielded results, but also because they have few year-round options where they can play and practice. Similarly, business people are frustrated by the lack of year-round, high-end facilities to entertain clients and staff.

And golfers of all levels want to belong to a “golf community”, but traditional country clubs are often too expensive and restrictive for the average player and their family to join. Today’s time-starved families want convenient, safe, affordable, and fun activities that family members of all ages can enjoy at any time of year.

According to the NGF study, the top three actions required to retain golfers and increase the number of rounds played are:

1. Facilitate finding of playing partners;
2. Promote/facilitate couples golf and family golf; and
3. Teach, Teach, Teach.

In short, Parmasters is filling a critical role for the golf industry.
 

Who’s behind Parmasters?

Conceptualized in 1998 by the team that helped build the successful Puckmasters Hockey Training Center franchise, Parmasters capitalizes on the “turn-key revolution” with totally duplicable, trademarked systems that focus on accelerated learning techniques and guaranteed results!

Now our senior management team includes franchise veterans like Michael Levy, who helped over 1000 franchise owners open as part of his background, and several experienced Board Advisors that have built successful organizations across the globe.

What’s the opportunity?

Owning your own franchise business. That’s right, after investing four and a half years and over one million  dollars researching and developing the concept, you have the opportunity to step in as the company launches and expands across North America and around the globe.

The Parmasters franchise system divides North America into nine large regional territories known as Regional Franchises, and fourteen across the rest of the globe. Each Regional Franchisor has the exclusive rights to market and sell Parmasters Golf Training Centers in with the full marketing and operational support of Parmasters Team Headquarters.

Why ‘franchise’ Parmasters Golf Training Centers?

Because franchising offers the opportunity to take a concept and all its systems, marketing support, look, feel, identity and duplicate it as a “turn-key” operation. Properly developed, franchising dramatically increases the odds of succeeding in business. In fact, the US Department of Commerce indicates that non-franchised businesses have a 62% failure rate in the first six years.

Just imagine a potential “typical Parmasters franchisee” – trapped in a corporate job or maybe semi-retired, passionate about golf and looking for that “concept in a box”.

Sure there are any number of ‘ad hoc’ golf training facilities out there, but no one is taking a golf training center concept and duplicating it through franchising– no one. Combine that with a franchise system that’s year round, indoors, affordable and guarantees results and you’ve got a winner!

Invest in ‘what you know’!

…And it doesn’t take a marketing genius to figure out that investing in what Baby Boomers are spending money on over the coming decades is smart investing. Boomers represent over 40% of consumers and they’re getting older. Look to investing in buying trends like golf, recreational property, gardening and (unfortunately) long-term care facilities/funeral homes and you’re on the track to financial freedom!

Parmasters is all about golf so it’s not only “on trend” as an investment opportunity, it’s totally in line with research conducted by the National Golf Foundation on golf growth opportunities. Investment is all about timing and the time is now.
