Your Perfect Golf Vacation: Concluding Tips
Your dream golf vacation with friends starts and ends with your own planning. Forget the vacation package brochures and craft your perfect golf getaway. This is the final article in a series designed to help you create an unforgettable outing that you'll want to repeat every year, as we have for nearly two decades.
One Month to Go
At this stage, you’ve rallied the group, chosen the dates, booked accommodations, and selected the golf courses. With final preparations underway, you’re almost ready to greet your friends at the airport. The hardest part was getting everyone on board; now, it’s all about ensuring smooth execution. Here are key steps to finalize before the trip:1. Transportation
Transportation is crucial, especially with clubs and luggage. If you can fit everyone at the airport, the rest of the week is easy. Typically, a full-sized car accommodates three people with gear, but we prefer a combination of a minivan/SUV and cars. Plan your rentals in advance. Coordinate with your group to figure out who will handle the vehicle rentals. Some in your group might have discounts that can help.2. Entertainment
Rainy days or post-golf evenings need some entertainment planning. We usually enjoy the Golf Channel, ESPN, cards, or movies. Designate someone to bring films like "Gladiator" or "Miracle." For rainy days, consider bowling, visiting a local theater, or exploring the area.3. Organization
To avoid constant questions about schedules, create and post checklists around the house. Provide laminated cards with key details for each golfer. Here’s what to prepare:- Course Details: Include locations, tee times, and contact numbers. Decide departure times considering stops for ice and practice.
- Meal Plans: Keep evening meals simple with recipes on hand. Usually, at least one group member will enjoy cooking.
- Sandwich Orders: For lunch between rounds, make gourmet sandwiches prepared the night before. Use a simple order sheet to list preferences. Rotate preparation duties among pairs each night.
- Scorekeeping: Track scores to maintain a fun competition and build a history of your outings. Use a sheet to log scores, which can enhance future bets and discussions.
- Expenses: Handling payments centrally is best. I use a spreadsheet to track expenses and reimbursements (pen and paper works too). Pay for all major purchases yourself to streamline the process. Track any contributions immediately to prevent disputes.
4. Essentials to Bring
Don’t forget items others might overlook:- Packs of cards and poker chips
- Cribbage boards
- Basic tools like a screwdriver and pliers
- Writing instruments
- Over-the-counter pain relief
- Band-Aids and games
5. Arrival and Room Assignments
Upon arrival, ensure fair room assignments. Avoid conflicts by drawing names from a hat. For subsequent trips, use a seniority system for room selection.6. Shopping
Once settled, use your detailed shopping list to gather supplies. Take one or two friends and get everything you need efficiently.This concludes my guide on planning the ultimate golf outing. Our group has been enjoying these trips for 19 years, a testament to the success of this approach. Try it for yourself. Even if it’s not perfect, the memories you create will surpass any pre-packaged experience. Happy golfing!
