Interests
Best of Wales - general interest tours
History and Prehistory
Castles
Industrial Heritage
Golf
I have been introducing Tour Operators, Golf Writers and Visitors to Wales since qualifying as a guide.
As an avid golfer and tournament referee, I have played most courses in Wales, including all those used for international competitions. I can therefore build and deliver itineraries to suit any level of golfer.
From traditional links courses, used for major competitions, to some of the most memorable, spectacular and fun courses in the world, Wales is a largely undiscovered golf destination, which offers considerably better value than other British options. Wales is 'golf as it should be'.
