WAGA Up-date
Hello everybody,
It has been two weeks since my last up-date. Bit of golf, bit of oral surgery, bit of travel to be with an elderly mother. You know the routine, it keeps you busy even in retirement!
Four weeks on Saturday, the WAGA group will be assembling in Kuala Lumpur for the 24th International Airline Cup. Our group remains the same, 49golfers and 19 non-golfers. Spain will be the second event and this week I received another two applications – great!
Sunshine Coast has seen one of the winners from Christchurch apply, Tracie and Dean Curry from San Francisco. Spots are still available.
All other events for 2009 have spots available.
Sponsorship – WAGA could not survive without it and we are fortunate in that Australia Golf Digest have come on-board again and in the April edition, on pg 144, you will see an advertisment for WAGA under Tailor-Made Global Golf Events. Please recommend it to friends and fellow golfers.
When we had the 21st International Airline Cup in Cardrona, Scotland in 2005, Macdonald Hotels were our hosts. WAGA are using them again in Spain in June. Our contact there, Jason Schellenburg has joined Preferred Hotel Group(www.preferredhotelgroup.com) and through their Australian representative, they are offering substantial discounts. Please contact WAGA or cholmes@preferredhotelgroup.com and mention WAGA.
2010. Options, Dominican Republic, Wales, Gold Coast and Vietnam. Obviously WAGA will wait and see what the remainder of 2009 produces but they are good options. In Wales, you will have the option to see the Ryder Cup, visit Ireland and play the K Club, Druid’s Glen and Portmarnock. If you have suggestions, please let me know.
Happy golfing, Brian Lassen, WAGA
