Back from California
Jen and I visited California in late April with a view for a tournament for May 2012.
We checked out San Francisco, Monterey and Carmel. Plenty of good hotels, great golf courses and prices were reasonable, certainly for Aussies as our dollar is very strong. Shopping was also very good according to Jen. There are 56 photos of general interest now on the web.
We leave for Bordeaux on 13/5/11 and have 30 golfers and 8 non-golfers. Sun City is also popular as is Lk. Taupo.
WAGA are facing a huge challenge with Cairns in September. A cyclone, too much rain and poor media have left the area facing a huge tourist problem. WAGA are feeling the affect of these natural dramas and a new advertising programme has been launched to compensate for the mixed feelings about the area. Since WAGA started in 1998, it has not cancelled an event but at this stage, it is being considered. If you want to come, if you have friends, let me know. We need applicants!
Happy golfing, Brian Lassen; WAGA
