Decolt Grand USA is the exclusive distributor for the Decolt Grand Electric Golf Carts for walking golfer’s enjoyment. The Decolt Grand features revolutionary performance with the use of premium composites to make the lightest electric golf cart in the market.
Founded during the pandemic at the highpoint of the lockdowns, the Decolt Grand gave golfers a way to enjoy the game they love without having to carry their golf bag (www.decoltgrand.com). People were not able to be outside and get exercise at the onset of the pandemic lockdowns. However, golf was a way that people could do that with social distancing restrictions. Number of walking golfers grew since it was
the only way to play golf as mandated at the start of the pandemic in March 2020 with all golfers restricted to walking only and carrying their own bag. Even after things loosened up the walking golfers stuck to it for exercise with increased walking golfers across the nation by 20 to 25%. Born was the opportunity to provide the lightest motorized premium electric cart with modular design. The major difference in design logic is that the bag is an integral part of the cart. Gone are the days of lifting of heavy motorized carts and batter at 35 pounds or more, large cart bags, and folding the cart like a convoluted baby stroller!
The Team at Decolt Grand USA, founded by Mark Myrhum, saw an opportunity to provide an alternative option for golfers both during the pandemic and beyond. With long range Li Ion battery performance worth 3 or more rounds on a single charge, you can enjoy the Decolt Grand without having to worry of running out of power. It even has a charging USB port for charging your phone or other devices.
As the market demanded electric golf carts, walking golfers ran through inventory levels never experienced before in the golf industry. In fact, golf participation and equipment sales hit all-time highs in 2021 in many sectors in the USA market. Until now we had no idea that the demand for electric carts in the USA would reach such highs. As with many consumer products, supply chain challenges exit. Decolt Grand is made in Europe and exported to the US. So, the same issues exist at the ports of entry to the USA by ocean shipment as other products, that is, shortage of available shipping containers, high costs, and long delays in loading and unloading from the ships staged off the coast of the US.
Why start a company during the pandemic? Well, as a Global Golf Industry executive, Myrhum was able to see the need for a product for the premium category. Luckily for the team, they were able to order sufficient quantities to strategically place throughout the US market. Certain golf centric areas like Southern California and Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona were the initial target markets for demo days, tournaments, and events. This success proved to be the best way to promote the cart. “Once golfers saw it they couldn’t take theirs eyes off of it”, says Myrhum, CEO Decolt Grand USA. “It designed with logic and that resonates with golfers. Golfers don’t want to worry about their clubs or carts tipping over during a round of golf. They want to just play golf. Decolt Grand is like having your own caddie!” Post pandemic, golfers continue to walk more than ever. The future for electric golf carts for walkers is strong with no end in sight. Golf has a way of surviving low sales volumes even in downturns in the economy as it has shown this through many rough times.
Being an entrepreneur is always the great unknown. However, the rewards are the highest when you assemble the best teams, work hard, and collaborate. For example, there is a great change in how golfers make purchases, so learning eCommerce and digital and email marketing become skills to have or acquire, as in our case. No one knew how the pandemic was going to play out, but golf will always play on.
Rory Sabbatini, is carrying the Decolt Grand golf bag on the PGA Tour with the recent debut at the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship in May. As electric carts are not allowed under the Rules of Competition on the PGA Tour, Rory’s caddie simply takes the detached golf bag on the course. The Decolt Grand bag has logical design, many large and smart pockets, and has proved worthy at the highest levels of the game. “Rory is a great brand ambassador and friend to the company” says Myrhum.
We’re currently running a promotion for Summer with a 33% discount off the MSP. This is to seed the market with premium high end electric carts and let everyone enjoy the experience. “It’s about brand building and creating awareness”, says Myrhum. “Being a new player to the market in the USA and Canada, there is a need provide the opportunity to see the cart in person or in digital media. We have received so much feedback that it is sometimes overwhelming to go through it. Certainly, as with any product, the critiques can be quite eye opening! However, we have stood by the product as the ‘ultimate’ experience with our tag line, Revolutionary Luxury Performance. It truly, is a golfing experience you’ll never forget!”
