What Participants thought of their International Pairs Golfing Experience
“Great experience that you were able to talk and mingle the former pros. Great accomodation and tournament – absolutely joining the quals next season in my own country.“
“The overall attention to detail in the organisation was very impressive (down to even having our names and flags on the golf buggies / lanyards – great touch). The International Pairs team on the ground were super helpful, and always had a smile on their faces – so just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone!!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the team camaraderie was something really special.”
