Well, 2019 turned into another great year of travel for all of us at Golf Away Tours. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to many different golf destinations around the world, and certainly do not take it for granted. We pride ourselves on knowing the destinations to which we send our clients so not only are the trips fun and exciting for us personally, but they are very beneficial as well. During our travels, we take the time to get to know the hotels and courses we use, as well as meeting influential individuals, with whom we create great partnerships and friendships.
As I look back at 2019, I’m pretty sure it was the year where I got in the absolute most golf travel I’ve ever been able to play!
* If you haven't read Part 1 of this blog click HERE, then come back and read Part 2. The next morning, TJ and I were up bright and early. We bid adieu to our flat and made way to the Dublin airport for our short flight to Edinburgh. Landing in Edinburgh, we picked up our rental vehicle and headed to East Lothian to meet up with some friends and for TJ to show me some of the great courses and hotels we use for our groups. After a few hours of touring around, we made a quick lunch stop back in Edinburgh before making our way to our final destination for the next few days, St Andrews. To be honest I was exhausted the whole drive up to St Andrews, I even caught myself nodding off for a few minutes, not the best co-pilot for TJ! Once I noticed we were about 20 minutes out of St Andrews, it’s like I caught my second wind. How could I not be excited?
Almost all golf enthusiasts and fanatics have the same dream, to at some point make their way over to Ireland and Scotland and play the game in the purest way, on the sea-side links courses. I had always imagined the day when I would make my way overseas to play links golf and knew it would happen some day, I just didn’t know when. Since starting to work for Golf Away Tours, sending people on their dream golf trips around the world, my fantasy of one day going to Scotland and Ireland has only grown. Finally, a few weeks ago, those dreams became a reality and I made my first trip overseas where I would get to experience links golf and see what I had only seen through my computer or TV screen.
