The Perfect Golfing Short Break

If golfing is your passion, then Warner Leisure Hotels have a real treat in store for you: a weekend break during which they take you to two different golf courses in the locality over 2 days, each of them offering a range of different challenges.

All three are 18 holes and all you have to do is bring along your clubs: Littlecote has some superb courses close at hand .

Warner Leisure Hotels will organise your tee times for each course and your green fees. The last round will be a competition between friends - by this time you should really be 'in the swing' of things! - with prizes for the winners.

Handicapping will allow everyone who takes part, ladies and gentlemen, to compete on equal terms and Littlecote's own golf host Jimmy Scott will mentor those taking part - offering advice to anyone who would like to sharpen up their swing or polish up their putting. To make sure everyone's needs are catered for, the break is restricted to just 12 places.

Guests are asked to bring their own equipment and suitable clothing. This is a superb opportunity for golf addicts to meet new friends and playing partners. And if your partner accompanying you is not quite such an 'addict' as you, they'll be pleased to talk through other activities at Littlecote - such as being pampered with beauty treatments in their health spa - that will keep them occupied while you enjoy a fabulous few days.

2010 US Masters Tournament Holiday

For US Masters holidays, US Masters tickets and US Masters hospitality packages, Your Golf Travel.com offers a variety of options to ensure that your US Masters experience is unforgettable.

The Masters Tournament, commonly referred to as The Masters or The US Masters, is one of four major championships in men's professional golf and is the first to occur every year. The final round of the Masters each year is scheduled for the second Sunday in April. Unlike the other major championships, the Masters is held at the same location every year - Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf club estate in Augusta, Georgia, USA.

Following Trevor Immelman’s victory in the 2008 US Masters, Angel Cabrera’s play-off victory in the US Masters 2009 edition came as a great shock, despite being a stalwart of the European Tour and a US Open to his name Cabrera’s combination of superb driving and a cultured short game ensured he was victorious against Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell and won his first Green Jacket.

The US Masters 2010 looks set to become one of the best events in recent years with the likes of Rory McIIroy and Lee Westwood set to do battle against Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in their attempt to become the first European winner since Jose Maria Olazabal in 1999.

The US Masters 2010 event will take place in April with the opening days practice starting on Monday 5th April 2010, the final putts will be holed on Sunday 11th April 2010 where we’ll hopefully be enjoying another fantastic final back nine at Augusta National.

The Masters was started by Clifford Roberts and Bobby Jones, who designed Augusta National with legendary course architect Alister MacKenzie, but at first one of the world's most famous and beautiful golf courses was nothing more than 365 acres of simple farming land. Due to the foresight of Bob Jones and Clifford Roberts, Fruitlands Nurseries purchased the land for $70,000 in 1931 and it is now home to the revered Augusta National Golf Course.

After the course was completed, its creators came up with the idea of organizing an annual tournament drawing all the best players from across the world. For the first five years of the tournament, it was called the Augusta National International Tournament but in 1939, its name changed to The Masters.

In line with the other majors, winning the Masters gives a golfer several privileges which make his career more secure. Masters champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship) for the next five years, and earn a lifetime invitation to the Masters. They also receive membership on the PGA Tour for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship for five years. In 2006 the prize fund was US$7 million.

European players collected eleven victories in twenty years in the 1980s and 1990s, by far the strongest streak they have had in any of the three majors played in the United States since the early days of the U.S Open. Jack Nicklaus became the oldest player to win the Masters in 1986 when he won for the sixth time at age 46. In 1997, headlines were made around the world when Tiger Woods won the Masters by twelve shots at age twenty-one. Jose Maria Olazabal was the last European to win the Masters in 1999.

Like many other courses, Augusta National's championship set-up has been lengthened in recent years. In 1998, it measured approximately 6,925 yards from the Masters tees but in 2006 it was almost 500 yards longer at 7,445 yards. As well as the course being extended, the teeing positions have been altered. Some experts predict that Augusta may now play as many as three shots more following the changes, which would be approved by Jones and Roberts, whose vision was to challenge the best players in the game of golf.

2010 Ryder Cup Tournament Holiday

Every two years the leading players from Europe and the United States entertain thousands of spectators on the course and thousands more on television across the world as they do battle for the ultimate prize in golf, the Ryder Cup.

The Ryder Cup epitomises the greatest traditions of international sporting competition as one of the last great sporting events founded on prestige rather than prize money.

The 2010 Ryder Cup will be staged at Wales’ finest golf resort, The Celtic Manor. Enormous investment has transformed the complex into one of the most comprehensive in Europe, with the focus on the monumental Twenty Ten Course.

The Twenty Ten Course is the first golf course to be specifically designed to host the Ryder Cup, and should set the stage perfectly for the titans of Europe and America to put on an extraordinary show. As part of the overhaul of the resort, Celtic Manor now boasts a state-of-the-art £10 million clubhouse, while the complex is also home to an internationally renowned 5* hotel.

In 2008 USA won the Ryder Cup at Valhalla for the first time since 1999, ending a run of three successive victories for Europe. Jim Furyk secured the winning point, defeating Miguel Angel Jiménez on the 17th green to take the US total to an insurmountable 14½ points, with the match eventually ending 16½ points to 11½.

For the ultimate Ryder Cup experience, Your Golf Travel.com can grant you access to a number of hospitality packages available. Official Ryder Cup Packages ensure that you will experience the action in the utmost comfort, with tailor-made packages to suit every demand.
