With spring right around the corner, golfers across many of the northern states are getting anxious to get back on the course. For golf courses, that also means preparing for the return of corporate outings, charity tournaments, and destination groups. Having the right tools in place to serve those guests matters.
Rental clubs may not always be the first thing on the checklistâbut they can quickly become a problem if youâre not prepared. I learned that lesson firsthand years ago while working in the pro shop at Windwood Golf Club in Watertown, Wisconsin.
On my first day, a golfer checking in for his tee time asked if he could rent a set of clubs. I told one of the staff members to grab a rental set.
He looked at me and said, âYou mean from the lost and found department?â I thought he was joking. But when he came back with the bag, I understood exactly what he meant.
Inside was a collection of mismatched clubsâdifferent brands, different shafts, and different generations of equipment. It was exactly what it looked like: years of forgotten clubs pressed into service as a ârental set.â It was embarrassing.
Ironically, years later when I started Golf Club Rental Express, I discovered that a lot of golf courses still have what could best be described as a âlost and found rental department.â Thatâs exactly the problem we set out to solve.
Today we help courses and event planners provide quality rental clubs for corporate outings, charity tournaments, and destination groupsâdelivered directly to the course and picked up after the event. No scrambling for clubs, No mismatched sets. No lost-and-found rentals.
Just quality clubs handled by a professional staff, competitive pricing, and the best customer service in the industry, all working to build a better experience for your guests. Iâm curiousâhow many courses still have a âlost and found rental departmentâ?
