Does Tiger impact golf travel?

by Gordon Dalgleish on December 31, 2009

Curiously a number of friends who are Club golf professionals have indicated that members have said to them that spouses have begun to question proposed trips to Las Vegas. Right or wrong, Las Vegas seems to have drawn another bad hand in golf circles after the beating it took at the hands of the President Obama earlier this year.

We have seen in many industries over the last 9 months a general resetting of prices…with the travel industry leading the herd! I came across an extreme example of this resetting phenomenon yesterday. Names will be withheld to protect the identity.
For $25 more than you would have paid in 2008 to play this well known course (one round) in the British Isles, you can play it twice in 2010 AND stay overnight in one of their deluxe rooms!
