So what is The Sharing Economy?
What Does This Mean For Golfers?
No more having to lug your clubs with you
Lets be honest, unless your're going specifically on a golf trip, how many of us really want to bring golf clubs on a family vacation or business trip? And if you decided its worth the hassle, after extra baggage fees, TSA approved travel cases, and of course having to actually lug the things around, did you ever wish there's a better way to rent quality golf clubs when you get there?
​
Business Trip or Impromptu Golf Game
Ever finished a client meeting on Friday in Palm Beach but your flight doesn't leave until Saturday evening? Or while in Orlando taking the kids to Disney, the wife and kids decide to just hang out at the pool for the afternoon leaving you to your own devices? Just sign in to Waggle and you'll be teeing off before you know it.
​
Peer to Peer Golf Equipment Rentals
Golfers can now earn extra money by renting out their golf clubs and other equipment such as range finders and training / practice tools when they're not using them. And renters can search listings worldwide, whether they are traveling or just want to try different clubs in their home town.
Clubs are categorized in detail from make and model to grip size and shaft flex and the conditions of each club is declared and shown with pictures. Waggle's highly flexible search engine can find your ideal clubs and filter out all unwanted listings. Customer Satisfaction is Guaranteed. And all rentals are insured against damage or loss.
Users can search by city or by Golf Course or Resort to find nearby Listings. Once a rental is confirmed, there are 3 different ways for the user to get the clubs from the owner. One of these methods will be through a Waggle Authorized Pro Shop. For the convenience of the users, these Authorized Pro Shops are linked into the Waggle transaction and can act as the conduit for both parties while also ensuring the quality and safety of the equipment being rented.
​
Invest in Your Golf Clubs
Eyeing that new $1000 set of clubs? What if you could use it to make money and it would pay for itself within weeks?
​
Try Before You Buy
Want to make sure that new Driver is worth the money? Find someone in your area that has it and rent it out for the weekend! Think your kid could be the next Tiger? Lets try it out instead of buying expensive kids gear that they will quickly outgrow or may lose interest in.
​
​
Rental Clubs- Golf Courses
Your Premier Golf Courses will usually have some rental clubs available for guests who did not bring their own but they simply offer this as an added service to their guests and also to attract more guests to their course. But Buyer beware, you never know what you're going to get and there's no way of reviewing the clubs before you arrive. Plus, most courses, if they even offer rental clubs, only have 1 set available. Even TPC courses only have 4 different sets for rent and without the options and features that you can look for using Waggle.
​
Current Alternatives
Rental Clubs- Online
Online companies such as Clubhub offers rental clubs that they will ship directly to the Golf Course where you are playing. However, currently they offer just 1 Mens set and 1 Womens set to choose from. Hardly the flexibility of browsing from hundreds of listings.
​
Club Shipping
Some companies offer to ship your clubs for you to your destination but the cost is high and it's not available for many countries. And you still risk your clubs getting lost or damaged in transit. Why not use the opportunity to try a new set or simply find a listing for your exact clubs wherever you're going. With millions of listings worldwide, you're sure to find what you're looking for.
​
The Waggle Advantage
Traveling with Golf Clubs is dreadful. And any issue with airline baggage handling and it can ruin your entire vacation. (Did you know it's official airline policy for when an airplane is over-weight, for baggage handlers to first remove any golf clubs from the cargo hold?) Renting clubs from Pro Shops and Resorts are costly and the selection is limited. Yes you can ship your own clubs to your destination if you plan well enough ahead, but consider that cost of $150 minimum to ship round trip. How many trips before you could have purchased that new driver you've been hearing about? With Waggle, why not use that money instead to rent a set of clubs you'd consider buying? That way you can try before you buy and get some experience using other, perhaps better clubs.
​
Golf Clubs are expensive. And with the advancement of technology, Golf Equipment Manufacturers are constantly making improvements to help you hit farther and straighter. But are these gradual advancements worth a several hundred dollar investment? Why not rent it first and find out for sure?
​
A golfer's clubs are his or her pride and joy, and there are many who would never let a stranger take them out of the bag, not to mention use them for a round. And many will hold steadfast to that idea much like 5 years ago most people wouldn't even consider renting out a strangers apartment rather than staying at a hotel. But now, the fact that millions of people are happily using Airbnb, it has caused a paradigm shift for something as personal as living accommodations. Additionally, in today's interconnected world, reviews matter and really help improve and maintain quality experiences. This has enabled Airbnb to serve billions of happy customers and there's no reason why Golf Clubs shouldn't follow suit.
​
Waggle also strives to be even more than a golf equipment rental platform. With Golfers constantly connecting and communicating, we'd like to integrate with other Golf Community businesses and social platforms to create an online Golfer's Paradise.
