What Participants thought of their International Pairs Golfing Experience

Great experience that you were able to talk and mingle the former pros. Great accomodation and tournament – absolutely joining the quals next season in my own country.

Morten - Denmark

“The overall attention to detail in the organisation was very impressive (down to even having our names and flags on the golf buggies / lanyards – great touch). The International Pairs team on the ground were super helpful, and always had a smile on their faces – so just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone!!”

Kush - Kenya

“I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the team camaraderie was something really special.”
