ClubstoHire.com, which counts Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley among its founder-members, was honored earlier this week with the inaugural HSBC World Golf Business Community Award for Innovation’.
The awards took place at the Westin Hotel located on the Abu Dhabi Golf Club course in the UAE capital and venue for the HSBC sponsored World Golf Forum.

“It is an honour to be the first winner of such a high-profile global award and to be recognised by leading figures in the industry,” said Dubliner Tony Judge, CEO of the company.

Paul McGinley commented on the award saying: “It’s incredible how much the business has grown in the space of just four years and the level of interest continues to grow amongst the golfing population.
“The idea of offering rental clubs from €35 for a week has proved to be an extremely innovative one and I’m pleased it’s helping more golfers to play the sport in different locations.”
Last year, ClubstoHire supplied a record 40,000 sets of clubs to travelling golfers and re-launched its website to cope with the demand. It also introduced a ‘Guide to the Algarve’ – a free magazine given to every Faro customer to point them towards the best golf clubs, restaurants and places to stay in the region.
In 2014, the innovative company added 1,000 more of the latest sets from leading brands like TaylorMade, Callaway, Mizuno and Wilson Staff, while it also supported the launch of the Golf Life Travel digital magazine that aims to help travelling golfers when booking trips to Portugal and Spain.
Since its inception in 2010, ClubstoHire.com has saved golfers an estimated €4m in airline baggage charges by renting them up-to-the-minute equipment in a growing network of locations across Europe and Africa.
The company has locations at 21 different airports and with Marrakech in Morocco sharing the 21st birthday honor this coming weekend.
