For many of us, thinking back to the halcyon days of our past means summoning memories of our favorite days on the golf course. Sometimes that means recalling that day we hit the drive of our lives or the round where we finally shot that elusive low score we’ve been aiming for. Maybe it’s not based on our golf shots at all — sometimes the best days of our golfing lives are simply the ones spent with our best friends, knocking back a few cold ones in the clubhouse after a marathon 36-hole day or laughing about how everyone got soaked during that torrential downpour on the back nine. For the team at Halcyon Golf Travel, their goal is to summon all of the above, crafting golf trips that you’ll never forget — ones that will become halcyon days of their own. 

Started in 2018 by Jack Sallis, a lifelong golfer and sage student of the UK golf landscape, Halcyon Golf Travel helps golfers from all over the world plan and execute the golf trip of their dreams. Halcyon can plan and execute just about any UK- or Ireland-based golf trip you can dream up, whether that means hitting the region’s most famous courses or venturing off the beaten path. Prestigious Scottish institutions like The Old Course, Royal Troon, and Carnoustie are right in Halcyon’s wheelhouse — their sample Claret Jug Tour itinerary is a perfect example of how to hit the British Isles’ most well-known tracks all in one go — but Halcyon sets itself apart with its intimate knowledge of courses both big and small. 

Having represented England as a junior and maintained a more-than-impressive +4 handicap well into adulthood, Sallis has spent close to 30 years playing hundreds of courses across England, Scotland, and Ireland. This intimate experience comes in handy when helping Halcyon clients whip up their dream trip. He and his bookings manager, Lee Shepherd, can get tee times at Royal County Down & Royal Portrush, but sometimes visiting the busiest, most challenging, most expensive courses isn’t what a group is looking for. Halcyon loves planning trips that venture to some of the area’s other spectacular, if lesser known, courses and villages. They’ll tailor a trip to any handicap, any budget, and any interest a group might have. 

Seriously, Halcyon can and will set up just about any experience you can think of. If your group loves English Premier League football (er…soccer), they’ll plan a trip around it. Want to explore London and play some of the underrated golf in the country? They’ll set you up on a trip that lets you play the finest courses in the London area while leaving plenty of time for you to explore the English capital. Not only can they tailor a trip to your exact preferences, but they’ll facilitate some luxury experiences that take things to the next level. Helicopter rides between courses, whiskey tastings, a masterclass from a major champion — Halcyon can do a lot more than make tee times and reserve hotels. And this is precisely why you should choose them for your dream golf trip. 

So get your buddies together and draft up the golf vacation of your wildest dreams; Halcyon Golf Travel is there every step of the way.

Don’t you love it when your golf gear looks exactly like your playing partners’ golf gear?

Me neither.

While some of the standards have evolved over the years, golf remains a game of etiquette.

That doesn’t mean it has to be stuffy and uptight. The etiquette portion, for the most part, refers to common courtesy of other golfers and the course itself. It represents the things you do to ensure the game moves quickly and safely while respecting those around you.

We tend to think of etiquette as how you conduct yourself on the course but it extends beyond that. There is etiquette throughout any facility, including the practice range.

Some parts of practice etiquette are unique to being on a driving range—or more heightened on a range—so I put together a list of previously unwritten practice range etiquette rules.

Airplane Rules For Conversation

When you are on an airplane, the common rule of thumb is that conversation should be held to a minimum. Everyone is sharing the same space so talking excessively during a flight is unnecessary.
