Windproof Golf Umbrella

[vustudent]

Hello, I'm a marketing student at the VU University in Amsterdam and I’m doing a market research for windproof golf umbrellas into the United States.

Is windproofness a usefull benefit for the average golf player? In other words do you still play golf when standard umbrellas are no longer sufficient? Do you think golf players prefer a windproof golf umbrella instead of a normal golf umbrella?

We identified golf players as traditional, do you think golf players are willing to use non-traditional shaped golf umbrella? Do you think golf players are interested in ‘stylish’ / innovative golf umbrellas?

We've found 5 kinds of windproof golf umbrellas. Do you know any of these brands? Which one do you prefer an why?

Windproof Umbrella ?

A bit like "This ship is unsinkable, not even God himself could sink it" (Marine Architect of the Titanic).

The windows at the clubhouse bar is the best protection.

Rain + Wind + Golf = Masochism

Breasts are good. We do have some common ground. I like these ones:

Did you know there is research that says that staring at boobs is good for a man's health.

Great thread......I love umbrellas.

[TourFit]

Well, if you snuggle up close enough under THEM, they'd work like umbrellas!

If the wind was strong and cold enough, the nipples alone would be good umbrellas!
