Winter Golf Trips to Arizona and Nevada

Well, now that our November Special at The Doral is over (we do still have several clients headed there for Thanksgiving Weekend) it's time to think about your winter golf getaway.

Prices for this winter are very reasonable given the soft economy, so if you're going this year this is the time to contact your travel agency... or hopefully, my golf travel agency.

Some of the "best buys" this year are in and around Las Vegas (including Mesquite, NV) and the San Diego area. And for the umteenth year, our Gold Canyon, Arizona package is a fabulous bargain... scroll down a few posts for more on that.

My blog readers get Free Advice! Whether you ever book a trip with my agency, I'm okay with sharing our knowledge. Just send your questions to dick@golf-vacation.com.

One final - totally unrelated - note: I know many of you share my "love" (HaHa) for United Airlines. You need to watch this from You Tube!

A musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United apparently damaged his treasured Taylor guitar ($3500) during a flight. Dave spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage handlers to his custom Taylor guitar. During his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for youtube exposing their lack of cooperation. The Manager responded : "Good luck with that one, pal". So he posted a retaliatory video on youtube. The video has since received over 5.5 million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was: "Good luck with that one, pal".

Taylor Guitars sent the musician 2 new custom guitars in appreciation for the product recognition from the video that has lead to a sharp increase in orders. Here's the video.

Cheers,

Dick
