Golf club delivery service takes hassle (and fees) out of golf travel

Depending on who you travel with, flying on Australian domestic airlines with golf clubs can easily set you back $70-$80 on top of the regular fare; not to mention the potential for damaged or lost clubs, and the hassle of lugging your clubs to-and-from the airport.

GOLF COURSE REVIEW – Robert Trent Jones Trail, Alabama

July 4, 2016

We played some of the most extraordinary golf holes we’ve ever seen during a recent golf trip through Alabama.

In the week leading up to The Masters, we travelled from New Orleans to Augusta via Alabama, home of the Robert Trent Jones Trail.

On the road to The Masters we’re playing a set of some of the finest public courses in the USA.

We’re heading to watch The Masters at Augusta on the weekend and we decided to play some golf along the way. We’d heard a bit about the Robert Trent Jones Trail (RTJ Trail), 26 golf courses built across 11 locations in Alabama – all designed by Robert Trent Jones and all open to the public to play.
