Will Alan Martin’s ‘Thumbs Down Method’ be America’s top Golf Invention?
Series Video Preview: Fore Inventors Only Preview Video
ORLANDO, Fla., (June 27, 2007) - East Windsor resident Alan Martin just may have discovered the next big idea in golf, and will put his inventions to the test on Fore Inventors Only, a new GOLF CHANNEL original series premiering Tuesday, July 10 at 10 p.m. ET. Martin’s invention, Thumbs Down Method, is a training method for better ball striking. The method squares the club at impact by promoting the use of the hands and wrists for power, accuracy and control. An author and entrepreneur, Martin has invested $15,000 thus far on his invention.
PGA TOUR professional Fulton Allem, renowned golf instructor Bill Harmon and Golf for Women Senior Editor Stina Sternberg will be tasked with critiquing and paring down the 103 inventors to five finalists, while uncovering inventions from brilliant to ludicrous along the way.
Hosted by Vince Cellini, Fore Inventors Only scoured the country interviewing and auditioning more than 1,000 inventors to find the cast who will compete in the series. Following the first stage of competition, the judges will oversee field testing and consumer product pitches before narrowing the candidates to five finalists. Ultimately, viewers will cast their votes to determine the winner on the series’ live season finale on Sept. 4. The winner will receive shelf space at golf retailer, Golfsmith, for one year; a fully-developed infomercial and $50,000 worth of commercial and promotional air time on the GOLF CHANNEL.
