Golf Inventors Receive Ideas From Elite International Golf Licensing Group

A new golf specialty group by the name of Fairways International, LLC (http://www.FairwaysInternational.com) focuses only on acquiring golf products by way of licensing or distribution. Their new licensing programs provide inventors the ability to tap into their worldwide golf marketing and distribution network.

"Product creators are typically passionate about the game and try to find real solutions to real problems. And although they conceptualize a real labor saver, often they lack experience in how to develop package design, outsource suppliers and how to roll it out to a global market. It's common that not everyone possesses knowledge about the international golf market," states Marcel Ford, Member of Fairways International, LLC. Certain organizations can help creators with expertise in the golf market through successful alliances.
