Meet the Driver-Hosts
The People Who Make It Yours
Ask most H&B Members about their Expedition and you'll hear plenty about The Old Course, Royal County Down, and other unforgettable rounds.
But pretty quickly, the conversation usually turns to someone else.
Their Driver-Host.
Your Concierge on the Move
Once you land, your Driver-Host takes the wheel and the worries with it, then reads each day as it unfolds.
A golf bag chased down at the airport. A dinner moved when the round runs long. A laugh on the coach after a rough afternoon on the course. A celebratory dram on the final evening.
By the end of the journey, they are more than just the person driving your group. They've usually become a part of it.
Driver Notes
In Their Own Words
A small sample of the notes our Members have sent us about their Driver-Hosts.
"John MacFarlane was thoughtful, funny, and wise. He got us moved from Jubilee to the New Course because he felt it would suit our group better, and it ended up being one of our most memorable and fun rounds. He suggested Little Italy for our final dinner and it was a home run choice. Above all, his stories, his knowledge of Scottish history, and his personal kindness made our trip 100% better. He will be a friend to us always."
Conor Yunits
Thorny Lea Golf Club
"Keith Boyd is great. Our 2nd time with him as our driver. We got to learn about and support his favorite Irish football team, watch their game in his local town pub, and even meet his Mom. That really made the trip special and personal. Huge shout out to him!"
Bill Ryan
Denver Country Club
"John Daly was fantastic! It makes such a huge difference when all we have to do is "show up." The comfort and convenience of the transportation, friendly driver, and the fact that if we wanted to make slight changes, it's so much easier when it's all taken care on our behalf. Running early - no problem, John makes a call. Running late - no problem, John makes a call. Want to pivot out of restaurant reservations and do something else- no problem, John makes a call."
Sean Sullivan
Group Captain
"Drivers are always a key to the journey. From Martin Gray (2015), Lyall Smith (2018), and Pat Leahy (2025 Ireland). Still communicate with these guys 1-2 times a year."
Dan Wood
Curahee Club
"Our driver, Stuart Maxwell was absolutely outstanding. He made sure that our needs were met and his customer service was fantastic. I’m out of superlatives to describe how exceptional his service was. He became a part of our group and a lifelong friend."
Robert Strack
Group Captain
"Our driver Oliver Fitzgerald was amazing. He was funny, a historian on all things Irish, a pleaser all day every day, and just thorough on every part of the itinerary."
George Frederick
Ridgewood Country Club
"Our driver, David Calder, was beyond terrific. Wow, we all want him on our next trip. He was professional, kind, full of information, knew all the ins and out of each course and the professionals at each course. We cannot thank him enough."
Misha Joukowsky
Old Sandwich Golf Club
"Once on the ground, our coach driver, Pat Doyle, was truly a godsend for us. He fit in perfectly with our crew, and laughed the hours on the bus away right alongside us."
Bill Graves
Kirkbrae Country Club
"Deirdra O'Donoghue, our driver, was simply incredible. She was a great addition to our trip. So knowledgeable of the area and of the history of Ireland."
Cristina Pardo
Ft. Lauderdale Country Club
"We all loved our driver Ben Fulton and how he was so accommodating. He was our own concierge, tour guide, and escort for the whole trip."
Debbie Knowles
Huntington Crescent Club
"We had an amazing host/driver to accompany us, Scott Meechan. He made every day fun, and he looked after so many details. Felt like he was someone we knew for years rather than a new acquaintance."
Tom Arata
Group Captain
"Our driver, Andy Faull. To me, he was the face of H&B and he was phenomenal. Caring, attentive, on time, communicative, nice, engaging, safe, adaptable. I felt like he was part of our group rather than an employee doing his job."
John Greenwood
Country Club of North Carolina
"Malcolm Dinwoodie was a great driver all week. He made me feel comfortable with leading my first trip overseas."
Kenny Davis
Shady Oaks Country Club
"Mike Moynihan was absolutely the best! He was kind, funny & truly a fantastic driver."
Denise Doherty
Walnut Creek Country Club
"Cammy MacIyver, our host/driver, did everything in his power to insure a first-rate experience. Cammy went above and beyond, anticipating our every need/wish, and truly made our trip the best possible experience. He is a true asset to H&B."
Rick Simonic
"Neil Cruickshank was an absolute rock star! Went above and beyond what I thought his expectations were. He was more than a driver. He was a tour guide and a great one at that."
