Hosts: D.J. Jones and Connor Evers, PGA, Haversham & Baker Expeditions.
Description: While April has seen a steady rise in demand for golf trips to Scotland, Ireland and England at the other end of the shoulder season, October has barely budged. For some traveling golfers, that presents an opportunity. In this episode, Evers and Jones make the case for the back end of the shoulder season: better odds at the courses that are hardest to book, traditionally great links conditions, towns that feel like themselves again and a golf game that is actually in form when you step to the first tee. They also lay out the candid trade-offs, from closing dates to daylight.
Talking Points:
▪️ What an October golf trip means for booking, availability, and your game.
▪️Course conditioning in October compared with the opening weeks of the season.
▪️How St. Andrews, Killarney, and other towns change once the season winds down.
▪️The tradeoffs: Course closures, shorter daylight, caddie availability, and fewer nonstop flights.
