LONDON – 21 July 2009 – Your Golf Travel.com the market leading online golf travel company today announced the acquisition of the key assets of Rightclub Ltd, a well established UK based golf tour operator for an undisclosed sum.
Your Golf Travel.com has acquired the domain www.rightclub.co.uk the client database, Intellectual Property rights and trademarks, booking history and has already relaunched the website.
Based near Milton Keynes, Rightclub posted sales in excess of £3 million in the last three years and commanded a client base of more than twenty thousand UK golfers.

By adding the infrastructure of Your Golf Travel.com, we will be able to broaden significantly the product base and make Rightclub more competitive and appealing for consumers. This was a great opportunity to extend the reach of Your Golf Travel.com, and is a continuation of our commitment to pursue acquisitions.”
At the date of closure, Right Club Ltd was the provider of hundreds of unfulfilled golf holidays; to ensure that no existing Rightclub clients were left disappointed; Your Golf Travel.com has rebooked many of these packages, to include flights, golf and accommodation at heavily discounted prices.
Chris Monaghan, founder of Rightclub.co.uk, believes the perfect custodians for the business have been found. “Rightclub will be in safe hands with Your Golf Travel.com” he says. “I am delighted that the market leading company will revitalise the Rightclub brand, providing assurance to existing clients and the capability to build on the investments of recent years. I look forward to seeing it develop and grow into the future.”
