Whenever you spend money, you are throwing a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.
If this is true, I want to live in a world where tyler sells many terrible golf gloves.
If you are not an aggressive user on Instagram, you probably never heard of Tyler or his company, Golf. Once you know it, however, you can’t help but root for it.
I can’t tell you that Tyler has revolutionized golf gloves. Heck, Tyler himself will tell you that he has not recreated anything. What he has done, however, is carved a place in a very competitive end of the golf industry. He has made it using the tools available to him and the type of perseverance that is more widespread among young people than many of us choose to believe.
His story and that of Forelinks Golf, is the American quintessential.
The hardest child in the Silicon Valley
Tyler Nguyen is 25, but looks much younger. As in, “a school night, children. You should not be out of this late,” younger.
“I was just in Las Vegas,” he tells Mygolfspy. “I can’t tell you how many times I got charged.”
If you are a narrow -minded type who thinks that today’s youth wants everything that is given to them, Tyler will destroy your argument. He works three jobs and lives with his parents, who came to the US as refugees of Vietnam in the 1970s. His father was two years old when his family was sponsored to come. His mother’s journey was more difficult. She and her family were among the so -called “boat people” who left Vietnam after the fall of Saigon in 1975.
Tyler’s father runs a construction company in San Jose, Calif. His mother has a flowering artisanal business. Tyler has an economic degree from San Jose State and, during the day, he is a account manager at a Silicon Valley bank. On Sundays, he works in Pro Shop in his local golf course. The rest of his time passes to the front golf.
“If there is one thing I want more than everything, it’s golf,” he says. “I’ve always wanted to be in the industry somehow.”
That somehow turned out to be his its own line of golf gloves. Again, nothing revolutionary, but it is how he found his way into the glove business, how he is building his brand and how he is promoting his business is where he becomes interesting.
Taking golf forehead from point A to point b
Tyler credits his mother and father for his desire to own his business.
“I’ve always had an entrepreneur car. I first tried a ship business. What I learned there is if you are not passionate about what you sell, cars and perseverance aren’t there.”
He started Golf As a clothing business, but again he learned that he had no passion for clothing. Finally, the idea of the handle found it.
“One day, I was working behind the counter in the Golf Course and I noticed that the golf gloves were the second best articles in the store, shortly after the golf balls.”
At that point, the figurative light lamp clicked on Tyler’s head.
“It’s a consumable product. If you do a good one, there is a 75 percent chance a golf player, when it’s time to buy another, you will buy yours because they liked the product.”
This led Tyler to revive the front golf as a brand only for golf gloves. He started doing what many others do: Find a large manufacturer of golf gloves and order their menu. They seal your logo and that’s it. Tyler was looking soft, exquisite and durable with a suitable type of “second leather”. What we got was thick, with terrible feeling and regret.
“Feeling like one of my mother’s gardening gloves.”
This led to a pilgrimage to the homeland of Cabretta, Indonesia and a chance meeting.
Finding the right things
What Tyler wanted was a more stable version of the title player glove.
“This was my favorite glove that grew up. It was so thin as it felt like a second skin.”
His search for a supplier eventually led him to a small town near Jakarta, where he met the owner of a small, skin -owned business.
“They treated me like the family. The owner was actually from Riverside, California and moved back to Indonesia to take on his family’s business.”
While the two discussed what kind of gloves were looking for Tyler, Tyler eventually came up with an analogy that hit the house: Peter Parker’s black suit in Spider-Man 3.
“There must be that kind of feeling and that kind of faith when you wear it. I literally gave it analogy. He knew exactly what I want to say because he is a Spider-Man fan.”
They went to the factory and Tyler passed through the bins of different skin types. He felt every kind with his fingers and eventually chose some samples that felt good. The owner deleted the samples which they tested in the field the next day.
“I gave them every detail I wanted in terms of feeling and adaptation. I wanted everything to be cute.”
Tyler says finished product has the adaptation and feel that he was looking for, with increased durability.
“I can’t promise you our gloves will last over 200 holes, but I can guarantee that they will last longer than most others. That’s because we made the glove just a little thicker while still keeping that soft, second skin type.”
Telling the story of the front golf
Tyler really runs the front golf from the bedroom to his parents’ home. This is where he processes and fills the orders and where he filters his videos on Instagram. Social media has a lot of flaws, but it provides a good narrative a free platform. Although he admits it was not easy, Tyler has developed in An experienced pro.
“I knew social media was my only way to see and hear,” Tyler says. “My worst fear is to talk to a camera, but I knew if I would like to go anywhere, I would have to do it. People want to buy from one person.”
When checking Tyler’s videos at the Forelinks Golf Forelinks source, you will see a guy who, despite his fear, does a great job to deliver his message in a very personal, human way. He attracts you to the history of Golf Forelinks with his intimate style that reflects his personality and passion. When watching his videos, you think he is talking directly with you.
“The first purchase doesn’t make a customer,” he explains. “The first time they buy, they just test you. They may like history, but no amount of stories can save a creepy product.”
In one of his videos, Tyler tells the story of those first gloves And how bad they were. He even gave them free at the behest of his improved handle (called Cabsoft) so that his customers could see his own journey.
“If I can stay transparent and give my customers the best experience they can get, from opening the box for the first time to try the handle for the first time, this is when I can make them a repeated customer.”
The price of the price
Single Forelinks Golf Cabsoft Sells for $ 27.99, while a three -pack order brings the price of the handle to $ 19.99 with free transport. New customers can also get $ 5 from their first order. It offers standard sizes and cadets for left and right and men and women.
“I’m aiming for players who appreciate to feel, adapt and performance,” Tyler says. “If you appreciate this, try my gloves. If you don’t, there are many other brands there, like MG or Costco, at lower prices.
I bought a Cabsoft pack for a recent golf trip and I can prove that they perform as advertised. Adaptation and feeling are first -degree and a single handle is still in good condition after about 60 holes and a straight time of the interval. It certainly holds the other gloves themselves against other lines.
“When someone says your gloves are very expensive, I can tell those I have a package deal, but I prioritize quality, performance, feel and fit. If that’s not for you, there are many other great brands you can see.”
Moreover, for every handle sold, Tyler donates $ 2 to Youth in the courseAn international organization that helps young people learn and play the game for as little as $ 5 per round.
“I’m a study,” Tyler says. “Without youth on the course, I wouldn’t do what I’m doing now. I want to come back.”
To infinity and beyond
Whether it is the design of his golf gloves or his videos on Instagram, it is clear that Tyler puts a ton of thought in what he is doing. That even extends to Golf Logo
“The logo of infinity means boundless,” he says. “I’ve seen a golf player with a wing hit the ball better than I can. I know a Navy veterinarian without foot that is a whore in the golf course. It is an boundless sport.”
Tyler is at an age when borders are for other people and there is no trace of resting in it. This will support it through those rough points when the statements of P&L are not beautiful.
As we said at the beginning, we vote with our dollars about the kind of world we want to live in. The type of world I want to live in is the one in which children like Tyler Nguyen – hard -working children who take it and do it properly – see their hard work. I need a world in which Tyler Nguyens of the World are more successful than I need a free donkey golf glove.
“My long -term goal is to do this business passion my full -time work,” he says. “I absolutely adore this game and if I can be part of it and find a way to help players feel safe in my products, that’s what I want to do.”
