Golfers show sweet tooth for CBD Gummies as sales soar

Awareness of CBD and its benefits to golfers is continuing to grow – and Golfer’s CBD have capitalised on the trend with its golf-specific branding, education surrounding its products, and by gaining the support of a rapidly increasing number of Tour players. But perhaps most importantly, the company has created a product that is right for where the market is in 2021 with its ever-popular gummies.

The handy pouch of 20 sweets fits snugly in any golf bag to provide a mid-round boost and, as the only CBD brand offering the product, it’s the perfect opportunity to get a taste for the benefits and improvements it can bring to any golfer’s game at an attractive price.

At an average cost of £50 a bottle, traditional CBD oil can be a harder sell among club players who don’t yet understand the array of benefits CBD can provide. However, Golfer’s CBD gummies, at a lower price point of £6.99 and £12.99, are proving to be an instant success in pro shops and continue to fly off the shelves.

Golfer’s CBD director, Andy Dixon, has a theory behind their popularity: “I don’t think club players are ready to be seen dropping CBD oil under their tongue by the first tee just yet, but they will happily pop a bag of gummies in their bag and share them with playing partners on the way round.

“Not only do they taste fantastic, but our gummies contain the same broad spectrum extract that goes into our oils, meaning the benefits are the same and the gummies offer an inexpensive and fun way for players to enjoy trying CBD.

“Of course, they are reassured by the fact they know exactly what they are getting. All of our products are WADA-approved and we continue to work closely with the experts and Tour professionals to develop the best products on the market.”

CBD is short for cannabidiol, one of 113 cannabinoids identified by scientific research into the cannabis plant. The health benefits are a result of the broad spectrum extract used in Golfer’s CBD products. In addition to cannabidiol, the products contain other beneficial cannabinoids and compounds which reduce the risk of disease and boost the immune system.

The combined benefits on and off the golf course makes Golfer’s CBD the perfect supplement for players who want to feel healthy and produce their best golf with significant impact on anxiety, focus, concentration, rest and recuperation.

Solheim Cup captain, Catriona Matthew, is a firm advocate and brand ambassador, while growing numbers of professionals are also turning to the brand including former PGA Championship winner, Andrew Oldcorn, and European Tour pro, Jonathan “Jigger” Thomson.

Golfer’s CBD is now stocked in around 150 pro shops across the UK and has moved to factory production of gummies. Dixon added: “We were producing them at the warehouse with the support of our supplier but, with the increase in demand, we have moved the production to a factory in Sandwich, with the capability to produce 15,000 bags a week.

“With a 40 per cent margin on offer to the pro shops and instant sell-through, we are confident our gummies will be seen in the majority of shops by 2022.”
