OMMAX Advised Afinum on the Sale of Perfect Drive Sports Group
After previously supporting Afinum with the acquisition of Clubhouse Golf in 2020, OMMAX cooperated with Afinum in several digital value creation initiatives, ultimately supporting the fund in the highly successful sale of Perfect Drive Sports Group with a commercial vendor due diligence.
The shift in consumption habits from brick-and-mortar to e-commerce retail provides an attractive opportunity for the ‘state-of-the-art’ digital player in the German-speaking and UK golf markets, allowing it to establish a strong e-commerce business that engages with customers through all relevant digital channels.
Leveraging on the robust yearly growth of digital search volume for golf-related keywords (+40% in the UK and +22% in Germany) from 2018-20, Perfect Drive Sports Group was able to efficiently boost website traffic and keep its strong conversion rates across entities, outperforming industry benchmarks. With scaling efforts in digital marketing campaigns and increase in organic visibility in its core markets, the group is expected to further benefit from the growing search volume.

ABOUT PERFECT DRIVE SPORT GROUP
With the acquisition of Golfversand Hannover GmbH ("All4Golf") and the subsequent combination with Clubhouse Golf Ltd. ("Clubhouse Golf") under the umbrella of Perfect Drive Sports Group, Afinum created the largest European e-commerce group for golf equipment. Today, the company supplies golfers with golf equipment and clothing in more than 30 European countries.
Besides strongly accelerating the group’s geographic expansion through the combination of the two companies, Afinum initiated an expansion and professionalization of online marketing, further developed social media as a marketing channel, and fully rebranded the “All4Golf” brand. Additionally, All4Golf’s newly won role as presenting sponsor of the German Golf League (DGL) adds one more milestone to the group’s success.
