St. Andrews Old Course guaranteed tee times

Press reports would lead one to believe that guaranteed tee times at St. Andrews are more difficult to score than front row seats for a Stones concert, and more expensive as well. Like urban legends and certain other information provided by the press, elements of these reports are true but the overall impression is both exaggerated and somewhat slanted.

The fact is that Haversham & Baker has already helped numerous golfers secure guaranteed Old Course times for 2006 at reasonable prices and is prepared to help others on a first come, first served basis until our supply runs out. Our current inventory is listed below. Call us immediately for details. Why wait yet another year to experience the oldest, most unusual course in golf?

May 8: 8 golfers May 16: 4 golfers June 6: 4 golfers June 19: 8 golfers

June 28: 8 golfers July 5: 4 golfers July 12: 4 golfers July 18: 4 golfers

At least 44 more golfers are going to score guaranteed 2006 Old Courses times through H&B. Will you and your friends be among them?

Ryder Cup 2006: Ireland & Woosie's Wales , a most appealing combination

The new issue of Links Magazine: The Best of Golf echoes the consensus opinion. Ryder Cup 2006 at the K Club in Ireland and the golf tours that surround it promise “to be the golf adventure of a lifetime.” This may well be “the biggest sporting-event junket of this young century.”

Haversham & Baker is ready to take you there and arrange for some great links golf while you are across the pond. As the Links article reveals, we are offering the only package that combines tickets to the Ryder Cup and golf on the links with the locals. And, thanks to the generosity of our partners, Ryder Cup Wales and the Wales Tourist Board, this package is the best value anywhere.

Not only will you watch European Ryder Cup Captain Ian Woosnam's men battle the American team in what has become the ultimate international golf event, you will travel to Woosie's native Wales , recently named “the world's best undiscovered golf destination”. You will play with the members of Royal Porthcawl on their course that is ranked 15 th in the world by Golf Digest. And, you will be among the very first to play the Celtic Manor course that is being constructed specifically to host Ryder Cup 2010.

You will discover that many Welsh golfers share Woosie's down to earth and effervescent personality as you will spend substantial time with them both on and off the fairways. Every team will include Welsh and Americans. Every day of golf will be followed by drinks and a meal together in their clubhouse. The Wales Invitational is far more about camaraderie than competition. It is a truly unique opportunity to forge international friendships over the shared love of golf.

Perhaps best of all, Woosie's countrymen are so anxious to introduce their country to American golfers, they are making all of this available at a price that is less than any other comparable Ryder Cup package. They want to prove to you that Wales offers the best travel values in all of true links golf.

The gift that keeps on giving

Looking for the perfect holiday gift for the golfer on your list? Pass up the trite, the hum drum, the latest coffee table or bathroom golf book. Every year some members of the Forces make their golfer feel truly special by giving a gift with memories that will last a lifetime—a Haversham & Baker golf travel experience.

Your gift can be the golf trip of a lifetime for your spouse, child, grandchild or the whole family. It can be a guaranteed tee time on the Old Course at St. Andrews or the Ireland/Wales Ryder Cup package. Or it can be an H&B gift certificate that lets the recipient choose when to travel, where and with whom.

Whatever you give, it is bound to be appreciated more than newest bizarre putter, a rescue club, another golf sweater or those terminally cute knickers you had your eye on. Likely, in fact, to be your best golf gift ever. Call us for ideas.

So many great golf destinations to be experienced, so little time.

Cheers,
