An easier way to rent golf clubs

This is for those who don't want to travel with their clubs and would like to know in advance what they're renting: GolfClubsAway.com.

For $39, you can rent a set of Nike clubs via the Internet and have it delivered to your hotel or the golf course by 7 a.m. the following day. When you're done, the clubs are picked up for you.

The available clubs, men's or women's sets, come in right-handed or left-handed and even tall for men (an inch oversized). They include a driver, 3 and 5-woods, 3-hybrid, 4-iron through approach wedge, sand wedge and putter.

For now, the service is available only in much of Florida, Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz., Las Vegas, Nev., and San Diego.
