IAN STAFFORD - IN SEARCH OF THE TIGER |
 |
|
Its the end of the golfing season and a time to reflect on your game. How you arrived at your own level of golfing enjoyment, or talent (if you are obsessed with being the best your physical limitations will allow), is your own story. Now there is less chance to play, why not go beyond flexibility, fitness, dedication to a teaching guru, and blistered hands ... into the mindset of becoming a golfer?

GOLF TOURS – BOURNEMOUTH |
| There are a number of UK Towns and Cities which are great for Golf Tours – Southport, St Andrews, Deal, Troon, Leeds are just a few to mention and, of course, the same applies to Ireland. A Golf Tour base that will appeal to lots of people is Bournemouth (and Poole) as the town offers a very wide range of accommodation and entertainment, to go with lots of golf.
The region does not possess a ‘Championship’ venue (or two) as per some of those mentioned above so those who want to walk in the footsteps of past Open Champions might have crossed the region off a list of possibles for fear of not being tested ‘properly’ for both golf and green fee price. This really is no reason to not come South as at least one or two of the course we have reviewed are really tough tests of golf and as a mark throughout, the standard of courses was excellent, as high as anywhere else.
