5 Reasons why you should rent golf clubs on your visit to Scotland
Travelling to Scotland, to play some of the most famous and oldest golf courses in the world? You play with the same set of clubs all year round at home so your first thought may be to take your own clubs with you. What if there was another option, saving you the stress of taking your own clubs through airports, worrying if they will make it there in one piece and not to mention the costs of taking them across. Simplify your golf travel by Renting clubs in Scotland. You may find that playing with a quality set of top branded clubs improve your game, you just never know. Still undecided?
Here are 5 reasons why Renting golf clubs is the best option when travelling for golf:
1. Hassle Free
Bringing your own clubs means travelling to and from airports with your suitcase AND golf clubs. That’s a lot of luggage especially when you are travelling to Scotland and need to pack clothes for our ever changing weather. Renting your clubs in Scotland means less baggage. Have the rental clubs delivered direct to you at your hotel, airport or even the golf course before your first round then collected straight after your final round. No needless travel with all that extra luggage and a delivery service ensures no time of your trip is wasted.
2. Premium Equipment
Renting golf clubs gives you the chance to play top of the range sets from the best golf manufacturers in the business. Clubs are cleaned between rentals so condition of clubs won't be to question. Someone said to me last summer after they had played with a rental set that they felt like they were playing with their own clubs, that is how comfortable they were with playing with them.
3. Cost Saving
Most airlines will give you a baggage allowance whilst some charge extra just to take luggage. When travelling for golf, especially for more than a few days its likely you will have a fair sized suitcase. Then you have golf clubs on top of that. So adding an extra oversized bag may cost you up to $300 with some airlines to fly your clubs back and forward. Renting for 5 days will only cost you a third of this cost.
4. Worry Free
You’re golf clubs are your pride and joy. Your set may have taken years to take shape with clubs added over the years Including that trusty putter that has been with you forever. The last thing you want is having your clubs damaged on the airline or the insecurity of leaving them around your rented apartment or hotel room when you are off doing other things. Leave them at home and with rental insurance you can have peace of mind when using our sets.
5. Extend your trip
Scotland, voted the most beautiful country in the world by renowned travel guide rough guides is rich in history and breathtaking scenery. Renting clubs means you can play your golf then offload them without all that extra luggage and explore its Castle’s, Mountains and Lochs by car, train, bus!
