Golf Holiday Planning Tips Win Comment from James Ellington, Golfer

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 01, 2013

With summer weather officially here, many individuals are pausing to plan their golf holidays--and according to James Ellington golfer from Sarasota, planning the perfect golf vacation requires both foresight and flexibility. To illustrate what he means, Ellington highlights a recent article from CNN, which provides ten tips for those seeking to plan their golf getaways. Ellington has weighed in on the report, and on its recommendations, with a new statement to the press.

"A golf outing can be a great way to relax, to stay active, to relieve some stress, and, of course, to enjoy a favorite pastime," opines Ellington. "However, a golf outing that is not well-planned can result in a lot of frustration and headaches. It's important to really put the time into getting your plans right!"

The first tip offered in the report is for golfers to leave their clubs at home. The article notes that, while a few airlines will transport golf clubs for free, most do not, and the price for transporting a bag of clubs can be quite high. This is to say nothing of the risk of lost luggage! "Call your golfing destination beforehand and see if there are any places where you can borrow or rent clubs for the week; most golfing destinations will be able to accommodate," remarks Ellington.

The next tip from CNN is to seek out an all-inclusive golf resort. Paying green fees for each and every game can add up quickly, and it can cause no small amount of frustration--yet many golfing resorts will offer packages where players can stay and play as many rounds as they like. "At the very least, try to find a package that will allow you a certain number of 'free' rounds," offers Ellington.

Ellington highlights another important tip from the article, which is for golfers to select new resorts and courses if at all possible. "The price may be a bit higher, but the value is also greater, because you know that the course will be good, solid, and well-maintained," Ellington notes. "As the article says, nothing 'ruins a golf holiday more than playing on a rutted cow pasture.'"

The report advises those seeking big-name, famous golf courses to book as early as possible. Meanwhile, those who are seeking to golf on a budget are encouraged to seek out "emerging" golf destinations.

James Ellington, golfer from Sarasota, encourages players to think critically about all of the plans they make for their golf outings and vacations.
