I want to express my thanks and compliments for a fantastic golf trip to Ireland this past week. We all had a great time – the golf was perfect, the dinner reservations excellent, and the hotels were terrific. Martin Woulfe, our driver, was a wonderful guy that went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. I give him my highest recommendation for future trips. Thanks again for Premier’s work with Jeff to put together the trip. Much appreciated.

I just wanted to say that we all had a fantastic trip through Premier Golf! You really did a fabulous job on putting together the trip!

The golf courses were outstanding. And the accommodations of the Europa Hotel and Bushmills were first class. We enjoyed all of the restaurants that Allan selected.

And we even got great weather.

I also want to say that driver Martin Woulfe of O’ Callaghan & Sons made the trip! He really took great care of us. His quick wit and sense of humor made the trip fun for all of us. He is a terrific guy and great asset to the company.

Thank you again for a great trip!
