A disc golf club merch shop is the most passive revenue source available to any disc golf organization. Set it up once, share the link, and the club earns $10 or more per item whenever a member orders -- with no inventory to manage, no money to collect, and no minimum order requirement. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles printing, packing, and free shipping.

What a Disc Golf Club Pro Shop Actually Is

A disc golf club Pro Shop is a branded online store specific to your club, course, or league. Members visit the URL, browse your approved styles with your club logo, choose their size, and check out. Their gear prints and ships directly to their home in about a week.

You set the retail price above the base cost. The difference is your club's profit, paid bi-weekly. You never handle product, collect payments, or manage shipping.

The shop stays open year-round. New members who join mid-season order the same way as founding members. There is no deadline, no batch coordination, and no coordinator overhead.

Setting Up a Disc Golf Club Shop: Step-by-Step

Setup typically takes less than an hour for a basic shop:

  1. Sign up at Bear Grips Pro Shops (free or VIP)
  2. Upload your club logo (PNG with transparent background -- the logo converter tool helps if your file needs cleanup)
  3. Choose your club's approved styles from the catalog (tees, hoodies, hats, shorts)
  4. Set your retail price for each product
  5. Publish and share the URL with members

Done-For-You VIP simplifies this further: you send your logo, and a shop advisor handles product selection, mockup creation across all color variants, shop layout, product descriptions, and pricing -- all monthly.

How Much a Disc Golf Club Shop Earns

Revenue depends on club size, activity level, and whether the shop is promoted at events:

Club SizePurchase RateAvg Items/YearMargin/ItemAnnual Club Revenue
25 members70%2$10$350
50 members70%2$10$700
100 members + fans60%3$10$1,800
200 members + fans50%3$10$3,000

These numbers repeat annually without additional coordinator effort. Clubs that promote the shop at weekly rounds, tournaments, and social media see 20-40% higher purchase rates.

Best Products to Add to a Disc Golf Club Shop

Most disc golf clubs build their shop around 5-8 core products:

Start with 3-5 products on the free plan and expand as the club grows. Done-For-You VIP covers 15 products per month with full mockup creation.

Running Tournament and Event Apparel Through the Shop

Disc golf tournaments add a layer of revenue: event-specific designs. A club can create a tournament shirt each year with the event name, date, and course -- open for orders for 3-4 weeks around registration, then retire the design.

This captures the "I was there" collectible appeal of tournament apparel without pre-ordering inventory. Only the shirts that actually sell get printed. Zero unsold stock risk.

Event designs can be a separate product within the same shop or a dedicated seasonal collection. Members and guests who played the tournament are natural buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to open a disc golf club shop?

The free plan is $0/month with 3 live products and slightly higher base prices. VIP plans start at $59/month with lower base prices and up to 200 products. For active clubs, VIP pays for itself when selling 6 or more items per month.

Do I need to manage inventory for my disc golf club shop?

No. There is no inventory. Each item prints on demand when a member orders and ships directly to their address. You never handle product.

How long does it take to set up a disc golf club shop?

A basic shop with 3-5 products typically takes under an hour. Done-For-You VIP handles full setup including mockups, product descriptions, and pricing -- you just send the logo.

Can the club shop earn affiliate commissions too?

Yes. Every account comes with an affiliate link. When a disc golf club or other fitness business signs up through your link, you earn 10% of their subscription indefinitely, plus $1 per unit they sell.
