Golf retailer and club hire firm tee up partnership

0 The business tie-up will target people visiting Scotland, widely promoted as the ‘Home of Golf’ Two “unlikely bedfellows” have struck a partnership deal to help golfers sleep easy as they plan a trip to Scotland.

Rental agency Clubs to Hire and golf retailer American Golf have joined forces to offer travelling golfers a “click and collect” system for hiring clubs when visiting the Home of Golf.

Clubs to Hire co-founder Tony Judge said: “At first you might think that a club rental agency and a golf retailer were unlikely bedfellows, but the situation is ideal for both parties. It’s not always feasible economically for us to have a unit at or adjacent to an airport, which is why we also operate a delivery service to clients’ hotels.”

American Golf’s head of marketing, Scott Jefferson, added: “We are delighted with the arrangement because it allows us to further service the needs of golfers in the UK and Europe, and brings additional benefits to American Golf Club members.”

American Golf has a store in Edinburgh’s Costorphine area.
