He wanted a £30,000 investment in return for a 15% stake in the brand and viewers were certain his idea wouldn’t make the cut.
While Dragons Peter Jones and Steven Bartlett thoroughly enjoyed playing a game of finger golf during the pitch, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Jenna Meek were concerned about his pricing.

Viewers on X also agreed slating the sky-high price for a square of grass and a few plastic golf putters.
Fans of the BBC One show slammed the product calling it “boring.”
One viewer wrote: “He seems to have managed to invent something even more boring than normal golf.”
Another fan said: “This looks naff, seriously finger golf. Mental.”

A third person added: “Deborah looks riveted. Finger golf, for f**k sake.”
“Pretty sure finger golf won’t get any investment from the dragons,” said another viewer.
Meanwhile, a fifth person penned: “Costs £3 to make and you’re selling it for £30!!!”
Much to viewers surprise, three dragon’s made Glyn offers but there was one he couldn’t refuse.
Peter was all in for Finger Golf saying “This is what I’ve been looking for, for a long time,” as he offered him £30,000 for a 30% stake in the business.
Touker and Jenna also gave Glyn the same offer but he couldn’t turn down the opportunity to tap into Peter’s connections in the retail sector.
