Golf in England

Playing golf in England is one of the major reasons for visiting the country. The number of courses in England is around 2,000.So, you are not far from golf wherever you self cater.

Why use self catering as a golf trip planning device?Many who plan a golfing trip to England do not think of self catering as a most cost efficient way to enjoy golf in England. Besides the cost savings, with minimum research you can locate a number of courses within easy travel distance of your property and arrange tee times at those courses, quite often at substantial discounts.

We believe a very significant benefit is getting to know the locals. This is not likely if you go on a golf and stay at one of the golf lodges or hotels. The package limits your local contact because you are merely following directions and not involved in much of the decision making about your activities.

Golf at the local courses provides an opportunity to interact with the local golfers instead of seeing only people of golf tours from various countries. One gets to know the local pro and staff. I once had the privilege of playing with the Captain (President) of a local club and his son. This allowed me to learn a bit about the English approach to golf and their love of the game.

The Language of Golf in England is the same as in other countries. Viewing the forty words describing golf, from Ace to Woods, we find only one "English" word which is different from those used in the U. S. for instance. That word is Trolley instead of the U. S. term Pull Cart.

Even if your whole week is not for golfing, play a round.
