ART DIRECTOR Ketil Plassgaard [email protected] imes are changing, and with it our travel habits. It used to be that a trip to somewhere warm was considered something of an adventure, but now, with so much more on offer most of us think nothing about jumping on a plane and flying to far flung destinations. Hot, cold, wet or dry, we no longer just go for sun. I hasten to add that I would not take anything away from the long standing locations, but there are a myriad of new destinations waiting to be discovered if we are willing to step out of our comfort zone. Some are half way around the world, but even more are close to home, and the choices are mounting. For example, Italy has not been one of the first destinations that people think of for a golf holiday, and why is that? The courses are fantastic, the hotels are amazing, but many places like Italy have not seen the advantage of reaching out to the golfer. This is rapidly changing, and like hibernating creatures, they are making their first forays into the light. So when you plan your next vacation, ask yourself, “Shall I try something new?” It could be a life changing experience, and you may find that the destination is so keen to impress, they will go that little bit further for your approval. Here at Great Golf it’s all about the experience, and that means the whole package, not just the golf. Food, wine, accommodation, spa and other non-golf activities, it all goes to make up that perfect holiday. But hey, it’s your choice, we are only here to help. So please, if you get a chance, let us know what you find, the good, the bad and even the downright ugly. T HAPPY READING ADVERTISING MANAGER David Singh Tel.
