UroClub Makes It Big Time
 We've been talking about the UroClub for over 2 years (here and here *w/ video)- but it finally made it big last night on ABC's Shark Tank. Shark Tank is a slow where entrepreneurs pitch their idea to investors and then most of the time the investors tell the pitchmen how stupid their idea is and how it will fail.
Well- UroClub got it's moment in the sun.. and one of the investors bought into it! I personally have no clue what they were thinking- it's purely a novelty item, but I guess we may see it in stores soon, thanks to the success from the show. I've met the man behind UroClub at a golf show a year ago in Las Vegas and it was one of the most uncomfortable interactions of my life. I shook his hand smiling, telling him how hilarious and awesome I thought his product was. He was greatly offended and informed me that he was a Urologist and this product was an absolutely serious solution for a terrible problem facing golfers. I tried to skulk into the mass of show patrons and never see the guy again. Awkward! ABC's Shark Tank UroClub.org [ comments ]
 Ben Crane says:Why not just use the UroTree? There's 100+ of them lining the holes of every course I play. 10/21/09
 kidputter says:Gives new meaning to a #1 iron and the #2 iron. Also, possibly the Pee wedge. 10/21/09
 cheymike says:Personally, I think the guy is a self-diagnosing proctologist. He's got his head up somewhere dark if he thinks this is really gonna catch on and make him 50 bucks per uroclub. LOL 10/21/09
 georgelohr says:I'm with Ben Crane...use the trees. If you happen to be on a links course...just use a pot bunker. The inventor is cracked if he thinks he has anything but a novelty item on his hands. 10/21/09
 JCaus says:@ Carlos Franco almost everytime im on the course i think i bought some fecoclubs! 10/22/09
kidputter says:The club is selling for around $24.95. He sold 70% of the company for around $25,000. He invested around $300,000. At this point in the game, he doesn't CARE how many get used. He just wants to get them sold for the holidays. $16 profit. $4.80 per club is his cut. 10/22/09
 activesense says:I thought Uroclub was going to be a club that hit in metres and not yards (euro??..oh - never mind). Maybe they could call it Tee-Pee or something to avoid confusion. They should just take some Flomax or Avodart before they tee off, or tie a knot in it until the turn. 10/22/09
