You have a client who has played Scotland. And Portugal. And the Caribbean twice.<\/p>\n
When you call them with a new destination they listen kindly, and then they say they’ll think about it.<\/p>\n
The golfers who keep coming back to you don’t do it for the price. They do it because you have built trips they could never have built themselves, and that takes years to learn. Your judgement is not the problem. The problem is that you have already shown them almost everything there is.<\/p>\n
Almost.<\/p>\n
From 25 to 29 November 2026, twenty golfers spend four days at Casa de Campo\u00ae Resort & Villas<\/strong> in the Dominican Republic, playing with Colombian professional David Vanegas<\/strong>. Not a one hour clinic before dinner. Four days with him on the course, in the same group, at the same table.<\/p>\n They play Teeth of the Dog<\/strong>, ranked number one in the Caribbean, and Dye Fore<\/strong>, the one on the cliffs above the Chav\u00f3n river. The programme covers the four nights, all meals with beverages, cart, airport transfers and the closing dinner at Minitas Beach Club.<\/p>\n It is the first edition. That is half the sale, because a client who books a first edition is not buying a trip. They are buying having been there.<\/p>\n Everything about the event, day by day, is on the site: The Birdie Club Experience at Casa de Campo\u00ae<\/a>. Send your client the link and they will find it all there.<\/p>\n Fourteen international titles, a European Challenge Tour winner and a Korn Ferry Tour player. In Colombia and across Latin America golfers know the name without being told.<\/p>\n His method is called M\u00e1s Birdies, Menos Bogeys, and the useful part for selling it is what he doesn’t promise: he will not rebuild anyone’s swing in four days, and he says so himself. He teaches players to understand the swing they already have and play it better on the course, which is where amateurs lose their shots.<\/p>\n Because David plays with everyone.<\/p>\n Grow the group and he stops playing with each of them. He becomes the pro who waves from the next tee. That product already exists in the market, and it is not what we are selling here.<\/p>\n So the field stays at twenty and spots are confirmed in the order they come in. The number is not a sales argument, it is the maths. Four days only stretch so far.<\/p>\n A stay and play gives them a course and a hotel. They come home with photos.<\/p>\n Here they come home with two things they can actually tell people at their club. One is having played Teeth of the Dog in a tournament, with a card in hand and their name on the board. The other is having had a Korn Ferry Tour player alongside them, working on the shot they have been trying to fix for years.<\/p>\n And there is a third one that is not printed anywhere in the programme. For the client who travels alone, or who can never get their fourball to agree on dates, this format solves the whole problem. They arrive on their own and find nineteen golfers of the same level in exactly the same situation.<\/p>\n Wednesday the 25th is arrival and a welcome cocktail. Thursday is clinics with David, putting, approach, bunker, irons and driver, then a relaxed tournament in the afternoon to break the ice.<\/p>\n Friday is Dye Fore, with David rotating between groups out on the course. Saturday is the final tournament at Teeth of the Dog and the awards dinner. Sunday, breakfast and transfer to the airport.<\/p>\n Very little, and that is the point.<\/p>\n The dates are closed. The price is per person and covers everything except flights. Resort, tee times, dinners and transfers are already contracted. You are not building operations. You present the event, you send the client, you take your commission.<\/p>\n For the November window this sits in a good place: the Caribbean before high season prices, a course that sits on every ranking, and a professional inside the group rather than posing for a photo at check in.<\/p>\n Write to me and I’ll send you the net rate, the flyer and the images so you can run it under your own brand.<\/p>\n Golfers from twenty one years old with a handicap up to 24. That cap is not there to turn people away, it is there so four days of golf run at a similar pace and nobody feels out of place.<\/p>\n It is not for the client looking for beach time with a couple of rounds alongside. There is golf every day and a tournament on Saturday.<\/p>\n If you have someone sitting just over that handicap, or a seventy something who plays three times a week, send them anyway and we’ll look at it. The rule exists to protect the group, not to be applied blind.<\/p>\n When is the event?<\/strong> Which courses are played?<\/strong> How many spots are there?<\/strong> What is included?<\/strong> Can a non golfer come along?<\/strong> Is it commissionable for agents?<\/strong> If you already have a name in your head while reading this, send me the profile and I’ll tell you whether it fits before you make the call.<\/p>\n M\u00f3nica D\u00edaz VecinoWho is David Vanegas<\/h3>\n
