Golf Travel Guide

The Golf travel guide is not of course the most vital piece of equipment you’ll be using when doing the game of the long walk. Surely better things would be to invest in a finer set of clubs or even maybe a cart. That way hopefully the game becomes the sport of the long drive. Which it already is if you’ve played the Gary Player course at Sun City. But in fairness the little book is not such a bad thing to acquire. Perhaps there is some sort of benefit to the thing.

There are some golfers…okay, to be honest I think all golfers, that love to play on as many of the world’s best golf courses as possible. Well these books are actually just the thing for them. They are the key golf travel guides to your game in the future. If you can spare a few bucks to purchase the little black book of golfing regions you will be guaranteed of much happiness. Of course, that comes with the proviso that you have enough money to take you to all these most fantastic places. Naturally you can get the golf travel guide for your specific area and that will give you a basic definition and key to the area.

If you do like to travel there are some really good guides out there. Just go onto any of the good order sites like www.amazon.com, www.kalahari.net or even www.loot.co.za and search for the golf travel guides. You’ll find a wide range of really good golf travel guides for any region you intend on visiting.

One of the all time must have golf travel guides is The Golf Travel Guide to the Worlds Greatest Golf Destinations: The Complete Resource for the Discriminating Golfer by Terence Sieg. This one in particular is perhaps the ultimate book in the genre. It’s the vital and indispensable golf travel guide for the golfer who likes to travel anywhere in the world to face up to the greatest golf courses our humble globe can offer. The tales are told from the beginning of golf, its conception in the British Isles. The reader is taken through this region extensively but also some of the all time great courses in the United States. Courses as far as Bali have even made the cut. All of the courses in the golf travel guide are set up by country and then region. The courses each get a description with par, green fees, designer, historical facts, season as well as a write up on any interesting or exceptional holes. The great thing is that there is also all the information you may need on the nearby towns and service providers for non-golfing activities like accommodation and restaurants. It even includes directions to the club.

Think about your game. The shots you take as the birds chirp around you. The vast expanse before you on a cool refreshing Sunday morning. Think of the sound of the sea lapping on the beach as you line up for your first shot of a full round of golf. Or those strange shots that nobody can explain. The advice you get from all those playing with you. The last drink you savour as you watch the sun drop behind the mountains. These are the things that make golf great, because it’s not just about getting the greatest game of your life on the scorecard (although that always helps make a course memorable), but it has a lot to do with the way the course grabs you. That’s what makes a golf vacation special. The golf travel guide understands that all too well with its pictures that grab your heart and transport your fancy to hundreds of miles away. It’s very special in that it takes you through everything you want to know on every course you want to know about. It truly is the chief over every golf travel guide.
