Agents looking to maximise opportunities within the golf sector would do well to consider linking with Europe's leading club-rental agency, Clubs to Hire (CTH).

The Dublin-based outfit now has 28 locations worldwide and is currently looking for partners to continue its on-the-ground growth in certain geographical territories. This means the chance of commission sales will increase and, when managed properly, they can prove very beneficial, as Your Golf Travel (YGT) confirmed earlier this year.

Its club-rental option, fulfilled by CTH, has grown by more than 400 per cent, year on year, during 2018. And with GolfBreaks also having partnered with CTH earlier this year, it's clear the golf specialists believe the market is there.

YGT's director of product, Andrew Smith, explained: "We have seen a very positive response from our sales team over the last 12 months to the concept, with clients enjoying the security, value and professionalism that Clubs to Hire has brought to the market over recent years."

CTH recently celebrated its 500,000th customer - Mark Evans, from Kilmarnock - and with the memorable Ryder Cup fuelling the desire to head off to warmer climes to play golf, enquiries to non-specialist agents for golf-themed breaks are expected to increase.

CTH offers the latest top-brand clubs from just €35 per week, a potential saving for clients of up to €165, when compared with flight carriage charges.
