It’s still some six weeks away, and much golf drama awaits in the interim—Arnold Palmer’s Orlando hoedown, a World Golf Championship event at Doral, and that little Augusta dustup that takes place in early April.
But on the morning of April 21st, a dozen, perhaps as many as 20 discriminating and well-heeled aficionados will be the first golfers off the tee at Harbour Town, tackling the same pin positions the pros were dealing with little more than twelve hours prior, at the conclusion of this year’s Verizon Heritage. The action-packed trip, just four days and three nights, also includes access to the player’s locker room, not to mention pub crawls, yacht rides, and additional golf rounds both at Harbour Town and nearby Daufuskie Island. It is the brainchild of an exciting new ultra-luxe travel outfit called Golfti, which in a word, can make many golf-oriented fantasies come true. Principals Ben Cowan-Dewar and Chris Tabbitt are Canadians, but with no cobwebs on their passports. They’ve collectively visited about 50 countries in the last decade, and have the know-how and insider’s knowledge to create once-in-a-lifetime golf excursions as often as necessary for the clients who can both appreciate and afford them. South Carolina is unabashedly domestic, but for anyone who might have a hankering to tromp fairways in New Zealand, Argentina, South Africa, Scandinavia or Korea, visit www.golfti.com And have the checkbook at the ready.
