The St Andrews Golf Week
 

Dear Lyndsay, Mark, John, and your whole staff,

Tom and I want to thank you all for making our trip to St. Andrews, the trip of a lifetime for us. We had such a great time enjoying golf with others from all over the world and making special friendships. The accommodations and dining were superb and the weather was wonderfully good. The golf courses were fantastic and Spring in Scotland was so beautiful!

We thank you all!

Tom and Jan Helgeson

Thanks for the excellent 2011 Links Golf St Andrews Golf Week. Rita and I had a great time and much enjoyed all aspects of the experience. The 2011 edition was on a much grander scale than we enjoyed in 2006, and we are glad to see that your company is succeeding in bringing golfers from around the world to enjoy the unique experience of Scottish links golf. As you no doubt know, we do not have anything like it in North America. We will certainly look forward to joining you again at some future date--hopefully not to long in the future!

Thanks again for everything.

It was a really great week. I expect to come again, probably not next year, but in the near future. Thank you again for such a well organized event and for all your efforts to make our week so pleasant and unforgettable.
Bests and kind regards!

I wanted to tell you how much Cathy and I enjoyed the trip. I found the format simply excellent - The Old Course Hotel was a delight, the five games were incredibly fun, the "Tuition" was an unexpected bonus, the Caddie was great! Superlatives abound. Everything was first rate, starting with welcoming on arrival, friendly staff, great dining, excellent hotel room, and so on. I really enjoyed playing with golfers from around the world! Singapore, Australia, Germany, USA, South Africa, etc. ... I found everyone to be such nice people. This of course made for a superb week! Your concept is excellent. I truly hope I can come back and do it again, if not 2012, then another year.

Just a quick note to pass on my thanks to you and the team.

Without doubt, I (plus the rest of our group) had a great time, everything was fantastic, from your operations, logistics, team and hotel, oh and well done on the weather front too!

Thank you and please pass on my regards and praise to the team at Links Golf.

This is just to say thank you very much for an outstanding week of golf. Your team at Links Golf are true professionals. The week was professionally handled and organized. Have to say, that I am already thinking of doing it again next year.

"I want to personally thank you all, Lyndsay, Mark, Ross, Leanne, John, Ken, Iain, Jamie, Scott, and Colin! You guys were terrific!

The event was truly remarkable and an experience of a life time….great food, great weather, great golf and facilities and great accommodations......…but most of all…....great people!!!!

Even though I came alone, I never felt alone. I met so many wonderful people from around the world. I had a great time and being the only Canadian, I felt proud to represent Canada at the world's most famous course! I really miss St Andrews.

Thank you for making my stay so pleasant and making it a special moment in my life."

"We are on our way home and are reminiscing about just how nice the trip was overall.

Everyone with Links was very professional and helpful. All of the details were taken care of for us down to specific unique requests to arrange extra's.......…such as our second 18 on the Jubilee, extra starter bag for the Old Course, etc….....

We definitely hope to be back in the next year or so."

"Just a quick note to say thank you so much to all the folks at Links Golf St Andrews for a wonderful week. It was a fantastic week, really well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. I'm sure you guys even had something to do with the weather! Thank you again for an unforgettable week and hope to see you for the next one."
"I had a wonderful week in St. Andrews but the week was a little bit short. I had a safe journey home and I hope I will be back again next year for the Golf Week."

"Where do I begin!!! My "Trip of a Lifetime" was just that -- thanks to you, and the Links Golf team. Please extend my personal thanks to Mark, Ross, Scott, Jamie, Colin, Leanne, John, the 2 Pros (Iain, and Ken who gave me the swing coaching that helped me play so well), Dr. Malcolm, "Old Tom", and the wonderful people down at the Dunvegan. You can't begin to know how much this meant to me. I realize it was the "Trip of a Lifetime" for others -- John from Canada, the Spargos from California, Peter from Germany, and others. I am sure they had a great time, but I WON the Scratch Medal trophy. I just can't believe it. It is almost like you wrote up this script for the perfect week, and it all played out just as you wrote it. I just can't begin to thank you enough for such a magical week.

I will tell everyone I know about you and Links Golf and how special a group of people you are, and how professional you are at organizing the very best that Scotland has to offer. Thank you again and again for everything you did for me and my group."

"Once again, many thanks for your extraordinary efforts during our vacation in Scotland. You and your troops did an outstanding job for us. Whenever we hear of any of our friends express an interest in a golf trip, we always recommend Links Golf without reservation."

"Both Phyllis, and especially I would be available as a shining endorsement of the St. Andrews Golf Week. The only thing I would change regarding our week at St. Andrews would be some of my fluffed golf shots. We speak in nothing but superlatives of every aspect of the experience. It is our sincere hope that it was not a "once in a life time experience", returning to the beauty as well as charm of St. Andrews, the warmth of the Scottish people, and the incredible efficiency of Links Golf of St. Andrews. Thank you seems insufficient.

"We had the most fantastic time! Truly, these are memories Bob and I will relive over and over again. We have brought back with us lots of moments to remember. I am still mourning the departure from St Andrews and missing you folks from Links Golf St Andrews and the friends we made last week."

Susan & Bob Young, USA (Participants 2009)
"Premalatha and I would like to thank the Links Golf St Andrews team for the great time you provided during the St Andrews Golf Week. We really appreciate you for taking care of every minute detail and were delighted by the efficient arrangements made by you throughout the week. Once again thank you all for the good golfing we had. Hope to see you and your team again soon."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark and the team for the great week I enjoyed with Neil. This was a special birthday present for Neil and he was apprehensive about going.
As it turned out he was over the moon and winning on the Friday was the icing on the cake.
Please pass on our thanks to the team and I have no doubt that we will meet again.
"

"As I was cleaning up from after golf week, I realized I couldn't close out the trip without expressing my gratitude for all you did to make it an unforgettable experience. Your hard work and attention to detail ensured that my every need was met before I even knew I needed it! Never have I been so pampered. Never have I seen such a flawless operation. I only wish you could have helped me with that six foot birdie putt I missed on the 18th at The Old Course...but that's another story."
