                  • Do You Really Need a Golf Travel Company?

                    When golfers turn to H&B to plan golf trips across the pond, two common, though sometimes unspoken questions often linger in the back of their mind:


                    Do I really need a golf travel company? Why can’t I just book this on my own?


                    While Haversham & Baker and golf tour operators provide an invaluable service, there are certain situations where planning on your own is the best or only realistic option.


                    Likewise, there are some key reasons where it may be in your best interest to enlist the service of an expert.


                    Join Connor & D.J. as they make the case for both scenarios.
