ClubstoHire.com launches new-look website
Club rental firm ClubstoHire.com has launched a new website after celebrating a record year in 2012
Club rental firm ClubstoHire.com has launched a new website after celebrating a record year in 2012.
Last year, the award-winning company kitted out 30,000 golfers with equipment. Since its inception, it has helped save golfers nearly £1m in additional airline baggage charges.
The initial site was launched in 2010 with help from Paul McGinley, a ClubstoHire.com ambassador and investor.
The new site allows golfers to hire the latest clubs from leading manufacturers - including TaylorMade, Callaway, Mizuno and Wilson - from 14 airports across the Mediterranean.
"The new site provides golfers looking to travel economically with a faster, more comprehensive service than the original version, and has a much larger capacity to cope with our growing level of bookings," said ClubstoHire.com CEO Tony Judge.
One of the first golfers to use the service was Julian Sowerby, an 18-handicapper from Chester.
"I have to say the service was amazing - right from when I logged on to the website and all the way through to getting the clubs in Faro," he said.
