That is where something like Opensea (as he mentioned) comes into play. If you are "into" NFTs then OpenSea is something you are already super familiar with. It is effectively a "wall" for your NFTs.
that was my basic thought on it, as he stated in a way i thought I understood (haha, basically me for an hour). I’m glad I wasn’t way wrong.
I get the wall/display thing even if im not huge on social media. I still struggle with needing a block-chain verified wall.
besides being made fun of by people I don’t care about online, it’s a free picture vs a expensive verified picture.
as was mentioned there are always fakes and knock-off of physical items as well. but when you talk about digital, they are exactly the same.
I am eagerly awaiting my Grandaddy Belt NFT. It seems to me that my team stumbled on to a remarkable rare item
You are not at all wrong, for example, here is a small sampling of some of mine from one of my Metamask wallets, that someone can see directly in my OpenSea profile

So, I’ve thought a lot about that as well.
People casually spend hundreds on headcovers and etc. What if that price simply included an NFT of the product? Or some of these 1-10k putters out there, you get an NFT of the product itself? The price is already silly, tacking this on could potentially just be value added from a brand.
Maybe a teammate has that and was supposed to share it.
do you flip them separately or together?

If you minted Buckets Club (Malbon) they originally went for 0.3 ETH (About $850.00 in today’s market) but they are selling in the last 90 days for an average of 1.2025 ETH meaning you would have profited about $2,550 per NFT you minted during the initial mint. Wild.
I was more a limewire kid.
No, NFTs are done with Crypto.
This is directly from their website:
What Is A Crypto Wallet?
Crypto wallets store your private keys, keeping your crypto safe and
accessible. They also allow you to send, receive, and spend cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
How Do I Get A Wallet?
A self-custody wallet, like MetaMask, puts you in control of your
cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Non-custodial wallets don’t rely on a third party — or a “custodian” — to keep your crypto safe. While they provide the software necessary to store your crypto, the responsibility of remembering and safeguarding your password falls entirely on you. If you lose or forget your password — often referred to as a “private key” or “seed phrase” — there’s no way to access your crypto. And if someone else discovers your private key, they’ll get full access to your assets.
Why have a non-custodial wallet? In addition to being in complete control of the security of your crypto, you can also access more advanced crypto activities like yield farming, staking, lending, borrowing, and more. But if all you want to do is buy, sell, send, and receive crypto, a hosted wallet is the easiest solution.
How to set up a non-custodial wallet:
1) Download a wallet app.
In this example, MetaMask.
2) Create your account.
Unlike a hosted wallet, you don’t need to share any personal info to create a non-custodial wallet, not even an email address.
3) Be sure to write down your private key.
It’s presented as a random 12-word phrase. Please keep it in a secure location. If you lose or forget this 12-word phrase, you won’t be able to access your crypto.
4) Transfer crypto to your wallet.
It’s not always possible to buy crypto using traditional currencies (like US dollars or Euros) with a non-custodial wallet, so you’ll need to transfer crypto into your non-custodial wallet from elsewhere.
Why Do I Need A Wallet?
Unlike a regular wallet, which can hold actual cash, crypto wallets
technically don’t store your crypto. Your holdings live on the blockchain but can only be accessed using a private key. Your keys prove your ownership of your digital money and allow you to make transactions. If you lose your private keys, you lose access to your money. That’s why it’s essential to keep your hardware wallet safe or use a trusted wallet provider.
How Do I Use My Wallet?
Crypto wallets range from simple-to-use apps to more complex security
solutions. The main types of wallets you can choose from include:
Paper wallets: Keys are written on a physical medium like paper and stored in a safe place. This, of course, makes using your
crypto harder because digital money can only be used on the internet.
Hardware wallets: Keys are stored in a thumb-drive device that is kept in a safe place and only connected to a computer when you want to use your crypto. The idea is to try to balance security and convenience.
Online wallets: Keys are stored in an app or other software – look for one that is protected by two-step encryption. This makes sending, receiving, and using your crypto as easy as using an online bank account, payment system, or brokerage.
That is too bad.
It is, but I dabbled back like 10 years ago. Now I feel old ?
Fair enough, a lot has changed in 10 years haha
I have a friend that is still really into crypto, and I get updates from time to time so im not out of the loop completely
Really cool to check out a different corner of the golf ecosystem.
One thing I didn’t quite fully grasp, will only token holders be able to buy the appare/NFTs or simply have first dibs?
In the first five minutes we debated turning off, at the 15 minute mark with thought this was a little crazy, and by the end we were looking up ETH conversion rates as we debated trying to buy a token
Token holders get first dibs. Once that opportunity has passed, the product becomes publicly available.
It’s pretty great from my vantage point, so long as there are multiple layers to the experience (aka they start to take advantage of the ‘archives’ concept and releasing secondary runs on existing NFTs for storefronts.
