    Dr. Jim Woods from Country Club of Paducah has been traveling with Haversham & Baker since 2009. He has served as Captain on six Expeditions, and by his own count he has put together roughly 30 golf trips over the last 40 years.


    He's just returned from England’s Golf Coast, arriving fresh off The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, and this conversation with Connor and D.J. has been on the calendar for about a year.


    What he brings to this episode is decades of hard-won insight, and most of it is aimed squarely at anyone thinking about leading a group of their own. Along the way there are the stories and laughs that come naturally when you've led that many golf trips across the pond.


    Schedule Note: Golf and the Good Life will go on hiatus for the rest of 2026. We'll return in early January 2027 with for golf travel in the year ahead and beyond.

    Most golf trips run exactly to plan. But it's easy for plans to get derailed with international golf travel, and after enough years the pattern is clear. It's almost always the same short list of problems.


    Connor and D.J. work through what actually goes sideways on a golf trip across the pond, and what you can do months ahead to keep it from defining the trip.


    Covered in this episode:

    • The source of 90-95% of problems that arise on a golf trip.
    • Why nonstop beats your preferred carrier, and why connecting overseas beats connecting at home.
    • Why you should avoid Heathrow with possible, and tips for when you can't.
    • Coordinating a group's arrivals and departures for a smooth start and end.
    • The right mindset for The Old Course Ballot.
    • Why Trip Insurance is absolutely essential and the benefit of having someone in your corner at 2am.

    Nick Papadakes, PGA Head Professional at Onwentsia Club near Chicago and a longtime friend of H&B, joins Connor and D.J. for a wide-ranging conversation on golf travel overseas.


    It begins with the Morcott Challenge, the junior event and cultural exchange between Lake Forest and Royal Dornoch that just wrapped in The Highlands, then heads down the roads less traveled to the Surrey heathland and remote Askernish.


    Along the way, Nick shares what two decades have taught him: how to build a group with the right chemistry, why he almost never books a morning tee time, and the vital role of the Driver-Hosts who became part of the team.


    He speaks candidly about how travel reshaped his approach to the game and what he now brings home to his own club and membership.


    Whether you are planning your first trip across the pond or your tenth, this conversation is a reminder that the golf is what gets everyone on the plane, but the Good Life is what makes the trip.

    There is a corner of England that most traveling golfers have never set foot in, and until Connor's recent trip, one H&B hadn't reached in years. The far southwest, from Devon to the cliffs of Cornwall, has quietly held some of the game's most rewarding links all along.


    In this episode, Connor and D.J. retrace Connor's ten nights in the region, beginning in the storied Surrey heathland, working down the coast from one outstanding links to the next.


    Along the way they discover the Good Life that sets this region apart: Michelin-starred dining, a slower and almost Mediterranean pace, hotels perched above the beach, and some of the warmest hospitality across the pond.


    This is a region for the traveler who has already done the marquee trips and is ready for somewhere genuinely new: an authentic, uncommercialized links experience paired with some of the best Good Life offerings in Britain.


    If you've been there and done that across the pond, Southwest England is a corner of the map worth discovering.

    The west coast of Scotland is the Birthplace of The Open Championship and home to some of the most storied links in the game.


    In this episode, Connor and D.J. take a deep dive into Ayrshire and the West Coast, from the marquee names of Royal Troon, Prestwick, Western Gailes, and the Ailsa Course at Turnberry to the outstanding supporting cast found throughout the region.


    Along the way, they cover the planning considerations that shape an Ayrshire golf trip, the appeal of unpacking once and staying in a single location, the growing popularity of pairing the region with Northern Ireland, and the Good Life experiences that complete the journey.


    Whether you are planning an entire Expedition around the West Coast or adding a few days to a larger tour of Scotland, this episode offers a complete introduction to one of the game’s most historic and rewarding regions.

    We've spent plenty of time talking about how to lead a great golf trip across the pond. This episode is for everyone else. The group members. The friends along for the ride. The 90% who didn't volunteer to be the Captain (the H&B word for the person organizing the trip).


    Connor and D.J. walk through what it means to be a great traveler when you're not the one leading, from respecting the decisions to showing up prepared to simply not being "that guy."


    Because the best trips allow the Captain to enjoy the fruits of their labor as much as everyone else.

    In Part 3 of the series, D.J. and Connor close out the 15 most important decisions for your overseas golf trip.


    The focus shifts to the choices that often get made later in the planning process: where you'll sleep, the case for caddies, packing choices, dinners and your time off the course, plus getting ahead of the inevitable question: where to next?


    Key Points:

    • Why "we don't care where we stay" sounds reasonable at home and falls apart once you're overseas.
    • Why caddie requests should be made in advance, and the cancellation policies now in place at most clubs.
    • Pack less than you think, but cover all four seasons.
    • The two-pairs-of-shoes rule, and why one wet round can derail the next morning.
    • Why dinner reservations are not a day-of decision, even in the shoulder season.
    • The case for starting the conversation about your next trip before you've finished this one.

    In Part 2 of the series, D.J. and Connor get into the decisions that start to give an overseas golf trip its shape: when to go, where to go, which courses to play, how much golf, and how you'll get around.


    Connor reframes the timing question in a way most travelers haven't considered, D.J. breaks down the divide-and-conquer approach to choosing regions, and they both make the case for adding a course you've never heard of.


    Key Points:


    • Why framing your travel dates as "when can't you go" is more productive than "when can you go."


    • The daylight advantage of June and July, and the September wrinkle at St. Andrews that catches some groups off guard.


    • How to divide and conquer: picking one or two regions for a 7-night trip, and why a third usually means shortchanging one of them.


    • The anchor-course strategy: pick your marquee course first and build the rest of the itinerary outward from there.


    • Why the course nobody in your group has heard of often becomes the highlight of the trip.


    • The difference between a trip that's been planned for you and a trip that's been hosted, and why a driver-host turns transit time into part of the experience.

    Planning an overseas golf trip involves more decisions than most travelers expect, and the ones you make early on tend to shape the entire experience.


    In this first episode of a 3 part series, D.J. and Connor walk through five key decisions every group faces before the planning even really begins: the type of trip, the invite list, your budget, DIY vs. a golf travel company, and custom vs. stock itineraries.


    If you're in the early stages of putting a trip together, this is the foundation.


    Key Points:


    • Why mixing group types (buddies, couples, families) on the same trip creates more friction than most people anticipate.
    • The #1 reason you should be selective with your invite list.
    • Why the average overseas golf trip involves 40 to 50 individual plans and reservations.
    • The difference between a trip being made for you and you being made for a trip.
    • Connor's breakdown of how destination and season choices will impact your budget.

    If you’re thinking about a 2027 golf trip across the pond, you’ve likely noticed the noise.


    Deadlines. Openings. Applications. Limited tee sheets. Ryder Cup. The Open. It can all start to feel like a race before you’ve even settled on a plan.


    In this episode of Golf and the Good Life, Connor and D.J. provide a clear-eyed update on where things stand with 2027 planning, particularly for The Old Course, Muirfield, Royal County Down, and Royal Portrush.


    We discuss what’s different about this booking cycle, why certain windows are more condensed than in years past, and how major events are shaping demand.


    More importantly, we share perspective from the planning side: what truly requires urgency, where flexibility creates opportunity, and how to approach the process without letting it overshadow the excitement.


    The goal isn’t to add to the noise. It’s to replace it with clarity.


    If 2027 is on your radar, this conversation will help you understand the landscape and move forward with confidence.

    Drawing from Member feedback, we discuss the tension between wanting to play every marquee course and the reality of what makes a trip truly memorable.


    We cover strategic timing for days off, low-key golf alternatives, and the unexpected highlights that emerge when you give your group permission to explore, decompress, or simply do their own thing for a day.


    Whether it's a walking tour in Edinburgh, a pub crawl in Belfast, or an impromptu round that becomes a trip favorite, we break down why less golf often leads to better stories.
