Caravan Holiday In Wales Sound familiar? Have you been on the receiving side of a less than perfect golf vacation that you have been waiting for all year? In all fairness, most golf packages are good. Some are great. But they truly are packages designed for the mass market with little flexibility and no individual flair.

Accommodation Holiday Wales Again, this yields a good or great vacation, but we need to discuss the perfect vacation. Envision:

Holiday Last Minute Wales - A beautiful vacation house with a separate bed or bedroom for each person.
- Gourmet dining each evening.
- As much or as little golf as you want, where you want and when you want.
- Evening entertainment.
- Maximum camaraderie.

Catering Holiday Self Wales I have been setting up this type golf vacation for my old high school and college friends every year since 1988. Over those 18 years, we have refined Our Event to what we think is the perfect annual outing. Our first few years were terrific even though we had to keep the costs down. Despite inflation, the cost has been fairly stable for the last four years. We have settled on a full seven days, Saturday to Saturday.

Holiday Wales Walking In general, we plan for 36 holes per day, and modify that in situ to wind up with an average of about 27 holes per day. We buy most of the food and beverages the day of arrival to support breakfast, snacks, sandwiches between rounds, and gourmet evening meals for the week. Our smallest group was five gents one year, and the largest group was sixteen. The perfect size is anywhere from eight to twelve.

Family Holiday Wales The above is our perfect golf vacation, not necessarily yours. For yours, look at the general goals below for the ideal golf outing:

Holiday Riding Wales - Get the ball rolling early.
- Have everyone stay in the same house that has a full kitchen.
- Get the shopping list together ahead of time.
- Have a general schedule and loose assignments.

Adventure Holiday Wales Get the ball rolling. Pick out a window of time and get the word out to everyone you think might be interested OR not interested (next year, they may be). I send a fun, whimsical email about five months ahead of a proposed block of time. It is written such that the wives enjoy the comedy as much as the guys. If you are not a writer, there are examples in my upcoming free Ebook. It will take you through setting up and conducting the whole event from scratch.

Holiday Park South Wales Follow up emails get commitments and solicit recommendations and special requests. Armed with all this, you will select the ideal house, set up tee times, and arrange rental vehicles. Further emails from you will ask what food, snacks and beverages they will want during the outing. Here is a good timeline:

Cottage Holiday Wales - 5 months: Announce.
- 3 months: Receive all commitments and solicited recommendations.
- 3 months: Let everyone know when to fly in to coordinate travel.
- 2 months: Arrange house, tee times and rental cars.
- 1 month: Receive all food, snack, and beverage requests.
- 1 month: Confirm house, tee times and rental cars.
- 1 week: Finalize food and beverage list.

Holiday In Wales Zero hour: Have the time of your life.

Holiday Wales House with a full kitchen. This allows several things:

Cottage Holiday In Wales - Preparing your own evening meal. Every group has at least one "chef".
- Rehashing the day as a group (yes, this includes an appropriate amount of trash talk and begging for strokes on upcoming rounds.)
- Having evening entertainment as a group. We watch a sports event on TV, watch videos, play cards, tell tales and get caught up, or all of the above.
- Getting sandwiches, snacks and beverages ready for the next day.

Caravan Holiday In Wales You will have almost as much fun setting up this event as you will have during your vacation. I set up a little eight page website with history, photos, schedule, past scores, etc. to hold everyone's interest and attention throughout the year. I will provide that in my free Ebook.

Camping Holiday Wales You can think about bringing a laptop and uploading each day’s results on your website so that the unfortunate people that did not make the trip can live vicariously by following the daily action. An idea that our group has not yet acted on is to have a masseuse come in one evening later in the week to help our aging muscles.

Building your own special vacation not only allows you to really tailor your outing to your group's taste, but also allows you all to get together as a true group for a great week of camaraderie. As a bonus, it should wind up being less expensive!
