Digital locking is so convenient for clubs concerned about key management issues. By and large, the golf sector prefers to keep to key operated lockers, with £1 coin operated ones for visitors.
“There’s less risk of key loss in golf,” states Crown Sports Lockers Project Manager Spencer Grimwood, “and also it may not be worth the extra expenditure of digital locking if keys fit the bill.”
Award-winning leisure operator The Club Company, for one, is sticking with the simplicity of keys across its estate of golf and fitness clubs and Crown is midway through refitting coin-op lockers to take the new £1 coin at six of its sites.
