Tour pros who lose their equipment in transit or long haul amateur travellers heading Down Under for a bit a winter sunshine can now take advantage of three new golf equipment rental outlets that have recently been opened in Australia by Clubs to Hire.
Demand for long haul golf travel is on the increase, and Clubs to Hire is receiving increased demand from the trade and travelling golfer to look after their club needs. Venues such as Capetown, Orlando, Phuket and Bangkok are already catered for, and the addition of Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne will allow travelling golfers book high-end sets at 26 International locations across the world.
“We are delighted to add three locations in Australia to our network,” said Clubs to Hire’s chief executive Tony Judge, who founded the company with Gerry McKernan in 2010. “With over 150,000 international golfers going to Australia annually, and over half of them travelling from Europe, we believe that their will be a strong uptake in our service.
“Our research has told us that taking clubs on long haul flights is extremely inconvenient and expensive. Clients often forget about the internal flights they encounter and the club costs just keeps adding up. Our long haul destinations are proving extremely popular and demand into all locations is growing.”
The company currently handles over 80,000 requests for rental clubs at its 26 locations, including popular golfing regions in the United States, Thailand, Australia, South Africa and five countries across the Mediterranean. Sets of premium brand clubs can be rented from between €35 and €70 per week.
Golfers can go online to pre-select sets and pick their putter of choice on arrival, which are then either collected from shops in airport terminal buildings, or delivered direct to hotels or golf courses for even greater convenience.
