In the golfing world this week… Did you see Tiger’s teaser on social media last week? Woods posted a video of him practicing his pitching on Thursday (watch video) with the comment, ‘Dr. gave me the ok to start pitching’. You’ll be aware that the 14-time major winner is recovering from his fourth back surgery but the question still remains: will he ever return to his best? Taking place this week is the 2017 World Long Drive Championship in America. Britain’s best hope is Joe Miller - last year’s champion - but it’ll take something hugely impressive to beat World Number One Maurice Allen, whose longest drive this season is a mere 484 yards...
Not Just Travel
Firstly may we thank everyone that has asked how the business is getting on and those that have booked trips with us. Every holiday booked by a member or referred to us by a member means 10% of the commission received goes back to the golf club. With the summer holidays now finished we enter a very busy period for booking holidays and the suppliers offer lots of incentives to book early. This means we have £50 deposits for package holidays, skiing and even a cruise company is doing it... There are lots of offers still out there for September sun, October half term and Christmas. The cruise market is getting busier and with some companies entering new ships into the market for 2018 the competition between the cruise companies means there are lots of great deals with free upgrades and all inclusive packages. Even the 6 star companies have deals. Andy is off to Vilamoura on Friday to play Pinhal, Laguna, Victoria and The Old Course which is one of his favourite courses. Hopefully it will be quieter than June. We have just had a client come back from Belek in Turkey who reported that the courses were in great condition. We have a trip from one of our suppliers which is a weekend in Lisbon with 2 rounds of golf followed by a trip to watch Benfica versus Sporting Lisbon. Please let me know if this is of interest as there is a choice of courses that can be played. We of course have other trips we can do and would be happy to put it all together for you. In a fortnight we are flying to Club Med in the south of France for training which sounds a bit 18-30s but actually is luxury all inclusive accommodation with over 70 resorts around the world. We are looking forward to sharing this experience with you as the brand is not well known in the UK. We have lots of short breaks available with great deals. New York and Dubai always prove to be popular. We have a choice of theatre trips and concerts available to go and see. 2018 celebrates 100 years of the end of the first world war. We have trips available to go to Europe and visit the battlegrounds of both world wars and the opportunity to celebrate Armistice Day in Europe. These trips will sell out so if they are of interest please let us know. Finally lots of people ask us what sort of travel we do? The simple answer is we do anything to do with travel. The last month we have organised a flight to Manchester, airport parking with hotel, numerous package holidays across Europe with Tenerife being the favourite. Trips to Australia via San Francisco and China doing organised tours. A trip round India via a specialist as nothing was from a brochure and a trip around Africa via Istanbul starting in Namibia then going to Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia with the whole trip done in lodges and campsites again nothing via a brochure. As you can see very diversified so no matter how easy or complicated your trip is to arrange it is all done free of charge with our unique personal service so why not give us a call or email us?
