Follow your captain: A guide for when you’re not leading the trip

Jun 13, 2026 | 5:28 PM

Hosts: Connor Evers, PGA, and D.J. Jones, Haversham & Baker Expeditions.

Description: Organizing a golf trip across the pond can feel like a second job, and it is one nobody gets paid for. The goal of every trip should be that once the captain lands, they get to enjoy it like everyone else. This episode lays out how the rest of the group can make that happen: commit fully, avoid re-litigating decisions, return the information that gets asked for and volunteer for a job once you are over there. Small courtesies, but they add up across a year of planning.

Talking Points:
▪️ Why the time to weigh in on the itinerary is early, or not at all.
▪️ Going rogue on flights and hotels, and how it changes the trip for everyone.
▪️ Roles worth volunteering for, from banker to photographer to keeper of the games.
▪️ Reading the materials you were sent, and why your captain is not your concierge.
