Sonic Golf Franchise Drives Into Growing UK And Ireland Golf Market
Posted on: 21/08/2006
The UK's first golf club cleaning franchise is investing in a growing golf market.
Addressing the European Institute of Golf Course Architects Dr. Klaus Ennemoser spoke of the growing golf market. Predicting future trends in the golf course market, Ennemoser told the EIGCA: “Within Europe, the UK and Ireland claim 51% of all European golf courses and 43% of all registered European golfers, yet only 15% of the European population.”
“The number of non-registered "independent" golfers is also extremely high in the UK, where there are an estimated 1.25 to 1.75 million players. On the continent, the "Big Four" in the golf market are Sweden, Germany, France and Spain. These four countries have 68% of all golfers and 61% of all golf courses.”
He added: “… it is estimated that, throughout the world, there are 60 million golfers and 30,000 golf courses. The golf market is growing. It is not booming but it is growing steadily. Within the past 10 years the number of players in Europe has grown by an average of 7% while the number of golf courses has risen by an average of 5% per year. Comparable statistics in Germany show an average yearly increase of 11% for golfers and 8% for golf courses. This comparison shows immediately that demand is growing faster than supply.
To help meet the growing demand for golf services, Sonic Golf, the UK’s first golf club cleaning franchise, has launched a unique golf franchise with the United Kingdom and Ireland, following successful completion of its business pilot. A spokesperson for Sonic Golf said: “We provide the golf club cleaning machines, and all other equipment, to franchisees based on a rental agreement. We also offer extensive marketing and management support.”
After three years running a pilot operation we are now offering this unique ultrasonic golf club cleaning franchise within the UK & Ireland. We provide the machines and all other equipment on a rental agreement; we also offer marketing and management support. All billing to golf clubs is dealt with for franchisee's so only a minimum amount of administration is required.
About Sonic Golf
Sonic Golf is the UK’s first golf club cleaning franchise. The company recently launched a unique golf franchise with the United Kingdom and Ireland, following successful completion of its business pilot. A spokesperson for Sonic Golf said: “We provide the golf club cleaning machines, and all other equipment, to franchisees based on a rental agreement.

He added: “The simplicity of the Sonic Golf business model means that franchisees don’t need to do the billing. Sonic Golf deals with billing on behalf of franchisees. With a minimum of administration required, Sonic Golf lets franchisees get straight into driving their business.”
The Sonic Golf golf club cleaning system is based on solid ultrasonic technology. It has been used for over forty years to clean medical, electronic and other high precision equipment. Ultrasonics produce millions of tiny bubbles in solution, these bubbles implode when they come into contact with any additional surface. This quickly, and safely, removes any surface contamination.”
Ultrasonic technology works so effectively when cleaning golf clubs because the solution reaches all parts of the club head, gripping dirt and other contamination more quickly and effectively than any other cleaning method.
