Devon Golf Tour
May 21st
If like me you’re a member of a golf club, miles from the coast, happy with your lot, but every now and again feel the urge to test your skills on a different type of golf course, then there are a few options worth considering this summer.
You could stump up a wedge of your hard earned cash and fly off to exotic pastures new to sample the best golf has to offer. There are the seaside courses in the States such as Pebble Beach, Whistling Straits and Bandon Dunes; the desert courses of Dubai and Abu Dhabi and the impossibly exotic courses of the tropics such as Le Touessrok in Mauritius or Sandy Lane in Barbados. As an ardent golfer myself I couldn’t criticise anyone opting for a an extended break to any of these fantastic locations but in my opinion there is a lot to be said for a weekend of exploring the seaside delights of the UK & Ireland. After all, why jet to the other side of the world when you have the world’s best, classical links courses right on your doorstep? More >
Devon Golf Tour
May 23rd
GMT’s inaugural trip in 2000 was to Killarney, where 8 of us were celebrating a 50th birthday. Since then eight of us have gone away every May for a golf tour. For our 10th trip we decided to go further afield than usual and plumped for Como. It was a great golf break and we especially enjoyed Villa d’Este. We then went to South West France the following year and this year we decided to go back to our roots and do a UK golf tour. North Devon had not been covered by anyone so that’s where we headed.
