Golfers, both serious and casual players, like to plan Scottish golf vacations, and naturally expect nothing to go wrong. Or at least they wish nothing would. But so much can go wrong – in the planning itself, during the trip, during their stay in their hotels, and on the golf course itself. If you want a golf vacation where you can reduce the elements that ruin the mood, then read on.
Scottish Golf Vacations – When the golf tour company doesn’t deliver
If you’ve already taken Scottish golf vacations using a particular golf tour company and package, you might want to take those again. Otherwise, you gamble on a new company. That might not be good. Anything can go wrong when you hire a company that fails – from the booking of hotel accommodations, to the missed or delayed airport pick up, to the availability or even quality of the golf links where you’re supposed to spend some time. Read reviews of companies before you call them up, or better yet phone some friends for companies they recommend.
Scottish Golf Vacations -Preoccupied with family
If in your past Scottish golf vacations, you ended up taking care of and worrying about your kids that playing golf, you might want to reconsider taking them with you next time. Unless you could bring a sitter with you and keep your family preoccupied while you play golf, maybe you should take a family-free vacation.
Scottish Golf Vacations -You get sick, just when you don’t need to
If you or your golfing friends have been planning Scottish golf vacations months before, getting sick might get in the way. Should you skip the holiday or continue to pack up, even though you’re sick? Some prefer to gamble they’d feel better on the trip, just enough to play. It’s probably the company of good friends that help us get better.
Lost luggage
One of the worst things that could happen is for your golf equipment to get lost. This happens all the time in airports and bus stations. Pray they’re not stolen.
You may have already missed a couple of games by the time your luggage gets found. So bring some extra cash, if you can afford it, in case you may have to rent or buy equipment.
According to Murphy’s Law, if some can go wrong, it probably will. Knowing what can and do go wrong, hopefully, allows you to better plan your Scottish golf vacations. Ask your friends about a golf tour company they trust. Think hard if you want family with you on your trip. Watch your health. Check your luggage. Make sure nothing is left to chance at work. So many things can go wrong, but you can avoid some of them.
