Shark Tank US | Fling Golf Is 'The Future Of Golf'
/ sptv
I can just see signs going up at every club, "No Fling Golf Allowed"
No F-ing Fling Golf! Fling Off!
They’re worried about the lack of precision… on a golf course. They haven’t seen the atrocities that take place from tee to green lol
That just Lorie who doesn't understand golf. This thing would be way safer. Even the Pro hit a few spectators every tournament.
That’s the annoying drunks on the course
🤣so true.. forget about the fairway and green.. Tee shots itself would be legendary
Hey no need to call my golf game an atrocity lol. All jokes aside yah the accuracy can’t get much worse
@@DublinRams10 no real golf lover will play this lol it's lacross golf, just throw the ball with your hand lol
Morgan Freeman: ''But as it turns out, Fling Golf was NOT the Future of Golf...''
Saying 'you are so greedy' is rich coming from Kevin
His sarcasm flew right over your head.
He always says that
alright karen
These guys are in every in over 1600 golf courses in ever state and in over 30 countries. They are actually doing fairly good for a new sport.
Absolutely none in all of Japan.
Never seen it lmao
I don't like golf. I'm not that crazy about miniature golf either, but I would try Sling Golf.
Or Scotland @@NihonKaikan, the birthplace of golf and fleeing things around drunkenly.
Just because theyre at the courses doesnt mean people are actively using them
Considering where I live, 2 out of 5 courses have already retrofitted the courses to allow disc golfers a way to play, I can see there being a market for this.
This takes more physical effort for the ball to go less distance than a golf club
This would work if golf wasn’t a classy sport
It worked already lmao look at the numbers
Search em up
Idgaf i’m not very classy and hate golf 😂 I’ll buy one of these.
Golf definitely had become more trashy
That’s why I like disc golf. Way more down to earth, drastically cheaper, and it has a nice balance of being easy to pick up and hard to master
I love how you can tell that Mark just doesn’t like normal golf with how he reacted to them telling Kevin they don’t care about what the golf community says.
The point of golf is the challenge mentally and physically to the player to improve and hit the perfect shot. Throwing a ball is just throwing a ball
Kevin just creating an even better invention at the end 😂
It will take a miracle for this golf/lacrosse game to catch on and spread. “Not on my golf course!” will be the answer they will hear more often than not.
I am not even a golfer, and I would agree!! 😮🎉
As they said! Only old people play golf and golf is dying.. so the golf course owners need new input so this could work
@@quadmeister I have heard of it since the show first aired.
A lot on tennis courts also provide pickle ball services
@@quadmeister golf was dying but since COVID happened, it has been one of the hottest sports in the world. With that said, Frisbee golf caught on an actually became pretty sizable. So this is impossible!
as long as i can still get my tee times and not be rushed through 18 holes then I'll be more than happy to welcome this product on the course.
would love to know where those golf stats come from. tee times in their area - the NE - are as booked as ever and in NJ, we just built the first new muni in 40 years. absurd statement that golf is going away
Lesson for Shark Tank, don’t go on with 2 partners, they’ll automatically ask to a 1/3 partner
That was a genius move when that guy did a count down on his offer.
They made a mistake, you don't want a business partner that uses toxic traits like counting down and forcing you to make a decision then are there. This is a common tactic scammers use because it doesn't give you enough time to realise you're being scammed.
breathing is also a common tactic used by scammers to further their scams
Imagine if his banker did that back to him ! He would change banks. It's a scammers way of forcing you into a deal that's NO good for YOU.
But it's a TV show and they need to finish the show on time
@@tzipporamiller That's sweet. You don't seriously think that they TIME the appearances do you !!!
TV shows are filmed and then edited to fit the "air time" that the show has bought on the TV channel.
Ever wondered why they can issue a printed programme with dates and times shows and films will be aired .....
Hop I didn't burst your bubble too harsh like.
classic bully tactic
Yeah they ain’t gonna let that happen at a course. Also I’m 30, been golfing since I was 5, I don’t think it’s a dying sport I see kids at the course with their dads everytime I play
Go to bed.
Ok, for real. When these guys are in real pitch meetings without cameras rolling, they never pull that "Here's my offer, you have 5 seconds to decide or I walk" crap, do they?
Dynamics are different depending on the type of investor you present to. Typically this is not the format as in bring multiple investors to see who does invest but more so hi everyone we’re here to raise money from everyone so they’re not fighting for who gets in. In my time in finance, you usually bring multiple institutions or single investors for a large capital raise like $20M+. And again, these are angel investors not regular investors so the risk is higher and they genuinely want to be in and fit a large piece of the pie.
This reminds me of my youth when kids became rollerbladers because they couldn’t skateboard 😂
Younger golfers are watching TH-cam golfers and getting into the game just fine.

16 courses near me have it looking on their website.
I can see this being similar to pickleball, slow to catch on but once it does it will take over and all the tennis/golfers will hate it but courses can’t turn them away because they’ll make them so much money.
but pickleball can be played for free on city courts. that’s how it’s spreading. this is asking a golfer to pay full greens fees to go do something less fun than actual golf. i get it as a park or beach activity, but not on a course at the scale they’re taking about
@@foreleftyall exactly. this is for dummies and they are hoping there are enough of them like them...those dummies are lazy. they aren't going out to pay and play this garbage
@@foreleftyallThis isn't aimed at golfers, mate. 🤦🏻♂️
What people dont understand is, Gold Courses, need to attract new customers to generate revenue and stay afloat. Hundreds of them are closing down, so it only makes sense, they allow another sport to be played on the same land
Golf course when you check in: What’s your handicap? Golfer: 25
Golf Course: You suck at golf so just go FLING IT! Next!
When you suck a golf and we’re never cool in school. It’s a hard no for me!
What's being cool in school matter? Life is about how happy you are now. Living in past glories?
@@Wintermute-088 My opinion has no dominion on your life. Blessings to you.
@@MrOisJustLiving Nor the long-forgotten opinions of schoolchildren, thankfully.
I'm sorry that they apparently still hold some sort of importance to you, rather than the here and now. Hopefully you can move past that, someday.
This is awesome, never seen this, so much better than put put, one club, no cart needed, you would play so quickly, i could see 8 guys playing faster than the average 4some easy
The last 3 secs from kevin🤣🤣
Welcome to Happy Gilmore Golf
This is nice for people who want to hang together that want to be out there with golfers like a wife n son that don’t play with a daughter and father who do play, especially on holidays in the Caribbean or wherever.
Yeah, it seems to make sense for resort courses like that where the vibes are more fun than serious golf, but there’s no way these are going to be allowed at any normal golf course. Not only do you have to educate people on the rules of fling golf, but they would have to be educated on the rules and etiquette of regular golf as well to be able to safely use the course. A course by me used to have both golf and frisbee golf on the same course and had to stop the frisbee golf because players would just walk out into fairways while people were teeing off were generally more rowdy and it became a liability.
No way this blows up
It honestly could. Spikeball was featured on Sharktank, and now I see that being played everywhere - beaches, college campuses, parks...
@happycamperproducts the issue is needing access to a giant golf course. Like pick up basketball and so many sports you need a little court. Field for football etc.
I mean pickle ball still looks ridiculous to me and it blew up fast lol
They made 16.4 billion last year….
@@kyle896 lol no way
I love the fact that he gave a 5 second warning 😂
Golf courses are already crowded as is. I’m trying to imagine if I’m on the golf course and a group of people with these were playing in front of me…
I’m hitting into them
I would go to the course to do this since I'm not a golfer
I doubt this would go over well with the members at my club, but I can definitely see it catching on. It would be a great gateway for youth also...the future members.
This probably way safer then my friend swinging his driver on the green lol
“It will never catch on” they said the same thing about pickleball. It sounds good
They said that about baseball too back in the 19th Century.
Tf is pickleball lol
@@Alex_Aramayowhere tf have you been?
Pickleball? Ranks right up there with shuffleboard and lawn jarts. 😏
No they didn’t! Pickle ball was a hit from jump……This is gonna be like Top Golf people gonna play it then it’s gonna fade away….
As an avid golfer I approve. This now allows a novice to come out! Grest idea!❤
Lack of precision is the dumbest reason to go out on this. Imagine if golf never took off because they were worried about lack of precision.
I love this concept and will order sime for my family. I think just the potential for this is HUGE fun!
Oh I’m buying and gonna just bring more beers
I think if they play it as an additional club rather than a replacement- that could work.
Like for those who can’t drive or for someone who can’t hit a 9 iron. Etc
I like how they waited till second 1 to say yes
New version of Jai Alai. Interesting spin on that game.
There is alreasy frisbee golf and soccer golf. These guys should've talked about why this works better since it works on existing courses.
I mean I guess it's possible for people to find it appealing. Frisbee golf has taken off.
because of socially awkward people with low skill think they are skilled now at something meaningful LOL
I hate golf but I try that
With low turn out on my course there is now disc golf and fling golf will be next. Just to many young
people are not playing golf. Their will be teams that will play each other for the Championship. This will get all ages exercising.
I play a lot of golf and am in golf forums, but I have never heard about Fling Golf.
In reality it won't hurt a course, since no divots. It could probably be played faster.
Lower cost for clubs, but still have to pay the same golf fees.
Fling is more of a drinking game after the regular round is done. It doesn't have
enough challenge or satisfaction to get big, especially to current golfers.
They show fling golf tournaments on espn. It’s out there
I played behind a woman playing fling golf years ago before I had ever heard of it. She was also playing it from the men's tees. Needless to say I was cussing the entire round! This will never blow up... Not on my golf coarse haha
What was your issue with it? She was playing too slowly? Just ask to be let through.
It's like rollerblading at a skatepark. And anyone who has ever skateboarded in their life knows what I mean. But who knows maybe it will catch on.
Just saw a Fling tournament on ESPN dec 2024! It’s pretty cool concept
its like Frisbee golf, anything to piggy back off a hard skilled game to try and give losers a feel for excellence, something they don't feel for good reason.
I thought they were going to take a golf club that has heads you can switch or attachments to replace all of the clubs! This will make lines even longer at the golf course lmao
Imagine you go to swing your club and the piece falls off and falls into the lake 😭😭 then what 😌
As a former golf caddy I had that idea a long time ago I low-key thought they would do that too like dam 😂
They keep talking about accuracy. Bruh have you seen a standard golfer vs a standard lacross player? I'll stand in front of a lacross pitch, i wouldn't trust Tiger not to dome me off tee.
Exactly. They’re stupid for that lol.
I would trust Tiger to not hit me.
They should do a deal with full send golf
Daniel annoys me with his kind bars
KIND bars have chicory in them and I'm allergic to chicory.
I don't believe Kind bars are in that many golf courses either!
I can't even imagine middle age golfers out there sharing the same golf courts with annoying kids swinging away 😂😂😂.... and thus a KAREN is created 😂😂😂
Ironic Kevin calling Daniel greedy
As a golf fan, I’m not interested. But why would this be banned on a golf course? It’s probably more accurate, pace of play isn’t any slower, and considering that you’re not taking divots out of the grass with conventional club swings, it’s easier on the landscaping.
I like golf. Never played it but don’t you have to play the ball from where it lands? Not pick it up take a couple steps and sling further down the course?
most courses require all players to provide or rent their own SET of clubs
For those who want all of the cheesiness of disc golf with none of the cost savings. I'm surprised none of the sharks brought this up. If this takes off, it's going to be an incredibly slow path forward.
The main reason why disc golf took off is because it's free, and there's a lot of dedicated courses in practically every major city.
While I'm not a particularly big fan of disc golf, I do play it somewhat regularly. because it gets me outside, AND IT'S FREE. But if disc golf cost me the same as what it does to play traditional golf, I'm choosing traditional golf 100 times out of 100.
I'm surprised the sharks doubted their hustle. They spent USD 1.5m of their own investment money and were already in 1000 golf courses before they pitched!!! They even initially countered Mr Wonderful and left him speechless. That alone shows they know their hustle (and customer) inside out.
Anyway, they made it to ESPN and have launched tournaments without taking Daniels offer.
This is stupid
Saying the average golfer gets older every year is like saying a every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes
Courses that are dying might want it? But yes golf has seen a resurgence since Covid although it continues to become increasingly difficult for a course to profit from the same number of clients I would think without the green fees being hundreds just to keep up with inflation
This will be a lot faster than real golf
The pickleball of golf.
Good luck. 🎉😊
Dozens of people will join this.
Geezers are gonna flip out, LMAO I cant wait!
Man wasn't meant to fly, the airplane will never work.
Playing golf is more popular than ever.
I’ve seen this played on the Ocho
Golf is such a diificult sport. This makes it easy for more people to play. I think this will catch on if they can get a young spokesperson to help make it cool.
Some public course areas are so overbooked with reservations .This will make it even worse but courses don't give a crap if it means more users
I like the narration of dragons den.
This is a bit gimmicky sure, but I can see it working. Not for me as I love actual golf, but I can see it working in resort courses or quieter public courses all over the place. For people who don't play think it could be fun and for golfers can see them bring their kids or partners out who may not have the skill or patients for actual golf.
The fun of golf is hitting the ball..no defense.just offense
Ideally, launching the ball like a missile would be ideal. Anyone interested in Missile Golf? OR, Mortar Golf?
Love love, love, love. This idea I can't tell you how many times I go to play golf for business and would prefer playing fling
$250K down the drain but at least it saved these 2 fools and put food on the table for their families at least for another 2 years.
Nothing here with a patient. Zero market security
Or a patent !! 😉
@@Arizona_Stonah ha ha dang it
Awesome product
Probably about same level as Frisbee golf. A niche thing
The guy speaking about the product either knows nothing about golf or was just absolutely awful at the sport. So he made the talentless version
I'm okay with golf just dying that's fine
I'd play it
Either play golf on a golf course... Or disc golf on a disc golf course... If you love lacrosse so much go back to Massachusetts and the haavaad yaad
I can't belive that broad said anything about lack of precision. She's clearly never even seen anyone play golf at all. I could sling a golf ball a hell of alot more accurate then my 75 yard slice drives that ends up in a different fairway.
What you mean golf is dying I have to schedule my tee times 3 days in advance
That's pretty funny from a bunch of hockey pucks
Love the idea, but I would not pay $50 a week to throw a sphere.
You touch the ball on the fairway?!
Tell me you suck at golf without telling me you suck at golf
That final countdown was for Robert, not for guys.
There should be some rule on how to be played from bunkers😄
How absurd, there is such a small small small nothing that would ever consider this; except the occasional frat party.
The lady talking about precision knows nothing about golf when she says danger.
Baseball with a golf club
They keep ssying their not golf. So why need a golf course? Lmao
You can only play in the public field. No one is gonna pay for the golf course fee and having fun with no skill sport. There is always a market for a short while, but after that, stagnant.
Lori is so ignorant. Do you really think someone throwing a ball vs hitting it with a club will have their ball end up in the woods more? It's actually WAY more accurate
