Better late than never? A bit late with the newsletter this month as we work to keep up at the office while TJ led our group of travelers who joined Natasha Staniszewski in Casa de Campo (more on that next month) but here we go!

As we mentioned in last month's newsletter we love the fall because for us, it means great golf in great locations. This year was especially great as we finally got to go to a real conference, with real people, and no Zoom screen!!!

We headed to Wales for the International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) - a premier golf travel conference - and met with many of our global colleagues and suppliers, saw old friends, met new ones and got in some GREAT golf, all while finding the best opportunities to present to you as you get ready to travel again.

The conference was a bit smaller than normal, not all countries are travelling yet (or even allowed in the UK), but those that made the trek were committed to ensuring golf travel bounces back stronger than ever and that made for an amazing and productive conference.

In this month's newsletter:
It was a busy week in Wales and we will be focusing on that in this newsletter (with a couple of extras).

• Review IGTM and share some of the insights we got from the conference.
• We played some great golf and will share our thoughts on the courses (and a few pictures)
• TJ had the chance to speak with Club Managers / Secretaries at a couple of the courses we got to play and we will feature those interviews.
• After playing and staying in Wales, and falling in love with the place, we wanted to share our reviews of the courses we played, which are just a small sample of the courses you can play in this hidden (to most Canadians) gem. You can get in before the secret is out and it gets as busy as Scotland and Ireland!
• With links golf being at the forefront this month, we have Wayne Middaugh showing a couple of great driving and chipping tips we can all use, especially those who are going with us on either the A Week in Dornoch with Lorne Rubenstein or the Sweep and Swing trips next year (and those trip details are below as well -there is still space for those interested)!!!

Our travels will continue over the coming month as TJ leads a group to Casa de Campo with Natasha Staniszewski, Ron heads to Portugal to visit some resorts and courses we have offered, and new ones we are thinking of offering, and then he heads to Spain to join TJ, plus several PGA Professionals and media, to tour some hotels and golf courses in Costa del Sol. More on all these destinations to come in our December newsletter.

By the way, with GTA area courses closing, anyone looking for some indoor golf should contact our GTA indoor golf partner, Swing Golf Lounge, as they have opened up for the year with their state of the art trackman system.

Wayne is a PGA professional and, of course, joining us on the Sweep and Swing in October 2022.

When we got together in September, we asked Wayne for a couple of his best tips for taking on the firm turf and winds of links golf. With our recent trip to Wales fresh on our minds, we wanted to share them with you (the tips helped Ron keep the ball down a bit on his drives in Wales) so you a use them when you join us at the upcoming Sweep and Swing trip (October 2022), or our Week In Dornoch with Lorne Rubenstein in April.
