The perfect counter has been found in a golf shop in London to stop people from reselling and buying the new Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shoes, which are set to be released on October 13.
They force customers to drive the golf ball at least 200 yards (150 for women) to purchase their shoes.
Trendy golf explains that the sneakers will be available on Monday at an unnamed location. You will have to use the golf simulator if you are the lucky winner of the raffle.
Resellers have had a difficult time in recent years. The decline in demand for shoes has been felt by those in the reselling industry, as well. They have to do athletic feats now?

The golf shop in London wants to prevent resellers from buying the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Shoes by requiring them to drive a ball at least 200 yards in two attempts (150+ yards for women). It’s a great idea

How difficult is it to drive the ball 200 yards away?
It’s easy for a golfer who is seasoned. It can be difficult for amateur golfers. Even for someone who does not golf, 200 yard is a long distance. The store stressed that buyers would only get two chances to hit a ball 200 yards. Golfers are lucky to hit the ball at all.
Many people consider 200 yards to be a significant distance. The day you drove 200 is a milestone that will stay with you forever. YouTube has a number of videos that can help you reach the 200 mark.
Recent research found that golfers with a mid-to high handicap drive the ball between 187 and 204 yards. A mediocre player should be able to reach this distance. This is the main point of all this: to separate the pretenders from real duffers.
You can get these shoes if you work hard, go to the range and watch the videos. Imagine how much more rewarding it will be to resell your shoes after you have worked so hard to be able drive a 200-yard ball.
It’s a brilliant move by the store. This is a brilliant marketing move that will attract a lot more attention. It might also attract a number of golfers who want to buy the shoes to prove to themselves that they are capable of driving 200 yards, even with only two chances.
