What type of people (market segment) are you trying to attract to your product?

We are trying to attract golfers and people who are lovers of the game. The great thing about GolfBirdie is it attracts beginners, amateurs and even pro’s. GolfBirdie is a tool which is invaluable and entertaining for golfers of all standards.
