I don’t know about you, I was nervous during my first golf holiday abroad at Medan, Indonesia. I was nervous because I had no experience taking golf holiday out of my home country. Here are some tips for your planning:-

1)  Decide which country to have your golf holiday. At one time, I was selecting between Algarve, Australia, Mauritius and countries that takes several hours of flight.

2)   Confirm that the golf course is open for playing as it may clash with golf tournaments or private golf games

3)   Confirm whether you can play one ball in case there  is no golfer around at the time of tee off ( I was a sole golfer that trip )

4)   Check with the golf club about the weather during the time of travel. Ensure that you have the right attire for the weather
