For immediate release: Vancouver, BC:

Imagine bringing your own private PGA golf instructor on vacation with you. Not only do you return refreshed and relaxed, but you've gone from fishing your ball out of the drink to a seamless stroke. This is the concept behind The Next Golf Adventure—a new luxury golf travel company started by two young PGA professionals from BC.

Owned and operated by Mark Burke and Tom Monaghan, The Next Golf Adventure provides a concierge-style service for intimate groups of six to nine guests. With an amateur-to-pro ratio of 3:1, it offers a level of personal service found nowhere else in the golf industry.

There is a niche market for every type of traveler these days. Golf trips abound. But this is the first to be led by PGA professionals, who provide lessons while playing with the guests, plan the entire vacation, and act as travel guides throughout the trip.

Burke, a PGA professional for over 12 years at the renowned National Golf Club of Canada, says, “We pride ourselves on the details. Our golf professionals attend to the guests from morning to night to ensure all of their needs are taken care of.”

Destinations for 2007 include Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Oregon; Cordevalle Resort in San Martin, California; El Tamarindo Resort in Manzanillo, Mexico; and Cabo Del Sol Golf Club in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “Our trips always include an ‘extra' adventure relative to the region”, explains Burke, “Guests might take in some deep sea fishing in Mexico, or tour wineries in the Napa Valley.”

The Next Golf Adventure's guides include Head Professionals at some of the most prestigious private golf clubs in Canada, tour players and top-ranked teaching professionals. “Our professionals, our destinations and our attention to service set us apart,” says Tom Monaghan, PGA professional and co-owner of The Next Golf Adventure. “We combine these elements to provide a memorable experience for our clients. For those ‘experience collectors' out there, we are the next big thing.”
