The Guy's Golf Trip
December 15, 2007. Winter is the perfect time to book a luxury vacation rental for a guys' golf trip. Got the winter blahs? Book a guys golf trip. Family got dibs on summer vacation? Book a golf trip in the winter. Slow time of year at work? Take advantage, and… you get the idea.
The first step in putting together a solid guys golf trip is simply to take charge. Trying to let everyone plan the vacation will likely result in little or no progress. So, pick a place (Floridaor Arizona ?) and then do a little research. Estimate the travel costs, luxury vacation rental, green fees, rental car and dining expenses.
Next, email the invitations. The easier you make it for your buddies to say yes, the quicker they will say yes. Throw out the set of dates and the approximate cost. Most importantly, phrase your proposal this way: "The first x of you to commit x amount of dollars for the deposit will get the extra spaces in the Palm Springs rental house." This creates a sense of urgency. Plus, requiring a deposit from them will take some of the financial burden off your back and makes it less likely that someone will bail at the last minute.
