Long (pictured above) joins David Howell as a brand ambassador for the leading golf equipment rental company. The 46-year-old Englishman has extended his partnership with Clubs to Hire which first began in 2018.
Clubs to Hire ambassador David Howell has played on the European Tour for 25 years
Speaking about his new role, Long, who finished third in last month’s Ras Al Khaimah Classic, commented: “When I first heard about the Clubs to Hire service being offered to the travelling golfer, I thought it was a brilliant idea. Imagine being able to rent a top set of clubs from €40 per week and not having the hassle of dragging them onto the plane. It really is the perfect solution both financially and for convenience.”
Howell, who has five European Tour titles to his name, added: “I think Clubs to Hire is a fantastic business that allows the travelling golfer the opportunity to try out all the latest hardware in the market, including my own favourite brand, Callaway, for a fraction of the cost. As a DPWT professional we get to try all the latest clubs, now traveling golfers can do the same by choosing from the sets available at Clubs to Hire.”
Clubs to Hire founder Tony Judge said: “David and Hurly are a fantastic combination for our business. One is in the autumn of his career, and the other is starting out on what we believe will be a very successful career on the DP World Tour. Our two biggest markets are the UK and Germany, and we look forward to our ambassadors engaging with our base of clients over the next couple of years.”
Clubs to Hire offers rental sets from top brands like TaylorMade, Callaway, PING, PXG, Srixon, Titleist and Wilson. The company provides the option to pick up the sets from their outlets in Faro, Malaga, Alicante and Palma de Mallorca with the added bonus of being able to pick your own putter on arrival. Alternatively, delivery to your hotel or golf course can also be arranged.
Outside of the outlets in the Mediterranean, Clubs to Hire also services various other airports through a network of agents, delivering upon arrival. With destinations outside of Spain and Portugal, like Turkey, Ireland, Cyprus, South Africa and Thailand, travelling golfers will be able to rent sets and save the hassle and risk involved with taking their own set.
