Golf Club Cleaning

This British franchisor developed a vending style golf club cleaning machine. My initial reaction was that it was terrible concept for myriad of reasons, but I can see it possibly working as long as competitive pricing pressure is nearly nonexistent. It could provide low-end golf courses with a small but riskless alternative revenue stream.

The Sonic Golf Club Cleaning Machine cleans a full set of golf clubs in just two minutes. The Sonic can clean both the heads and grips of the club to an original condition. The grips are restored to a tacky finish and the grooves on the clubs face are clean thus improving the amount of ball control.

    I wouldn’t buy it! I’m need even sure these are capable of coin operation. Perhaps it is something that a golf course would buy and offer free to their patrons.

  2. This is a straight distributorship or business opportunity which needs no capital investment. There is no franchise system needed here. What, the franchisor has a school about how to wash golf balls?

    This is the same as Morantz in Philly and any number of other ultrasonic systems you can buy anywhere. They will use thsi system to try and sell you either many other machines or a much larger unit for cleaning blinds. Not a franchise but a simple biz op. Buyer bewarde

    I have used the club cleaning service in the UK and it was great. Michael its the clubs they clean not the balls!

    I spoke to one of the franchisee’s at the club and they receive extensive training on using the machines but also marketing support to get clubs to operate at. I have seen the Morantz and club tub set-up but all they do is sell you a very expensive machine and have no interest thereafter.

    Sonic Golf now offer simulator, buggy and hole in one opportunities which I am discussing taking to the US as they have already expaned internationally in Europe and now Australia.

    This is all a con – ok in the summer months, who’s clubs do you clean when its freezing and pouring with rain and courses are closed for weeks like they were last year? the weather in england is wet – this gives you a very small window of opportunity to earn money
