Vancouver, BC: Imagine bringing your own private PGA golf instructor on vacation
with you. Not only do you return refreshed and relaxed, but youÂ’ve gone from fishing
your ball out of the drink to a seamless stroke. This is the concept behind The Next
Golf AdventureÂ-a new luxury golf travel company started by two young PGA
professionals from BC.
Owned and operated by Mark Burke and Tom Monaghan, The Next Golf Adventure
provides a concierge-style service for intimate groups of six to nine guests. With an
amateur-to-pro ratio of 3:1, it offers a level of personal service found nowhere else
in the golf industry.
There is a niche market for every type of traveler these days. Golf trips abound. But
this is the first to be led by PGA professionals, who provide lessons while playing with
the guests, plan the entire vacation, and act as travel guides throughout the trip.
Burke, a PGA professional for over 12 years at the renowned National Golf Club of
Canada, says, ”We pride ourselves on the details. Our golf professionals attend to
the guests from morning to night to ensure all of their needs are taken care of.”
Destinations for 2007 include Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Oregon;
Cordevalle Resort in San Martin, California; El Tamarindo Resort in Manzanillo,
Mexico; and Cabo Del Sol Golf Club in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. ”Our trips always
include an ’extra’ adventure relative to the region”, explains Burke, ”Guests might
take in some deep sea fishing in Mexico, or tour wineries in the Napa Valley.”
The Next Golf AdventureÂ’s guides include Head Professionals at some of the most
prestigious private golf clubs in Canada, tour players and top-ranked teaching
professionals. ”Our professionals, our destinations and our attention to service set
us apart,” says Tom Monaghan, PGA professional and co-owner of The Next Golf
Adventure. ”We combine these elements to provide a memorable experience for
our clients. For those ’experience collectors’ out there, we are the next big thing.”
