What If Something Goes Wrong During Your Golf Trip?

How H&B Gets Your Trip Back in the Fairway

Planning an overseas golf trip requires a lot of answers to a lot of questions, especially if you’re the one tasked with pulling it all together for your group. By now you may have picked up some insight on how to choose the right golf travel company and gained a clearer understanding of why Haversham & Baker is a little more expensive than most of those companies. And yet, it’s possible that a twinge of lingering doubt remains…

What happens if something goes wrong during my golf trip?

We all have that one travel story. The time where anything that could go wrong, absolutely did. Now here you are, with those nagging memories in the back of your mind, potentially embarking on a golf trip with lots of moving parts and an ocean between you and home. You’re right to be concerned, but the fact that you’re reading this in the first place is a good indication that Mr. Murphy and his famous law won’t be making another appearance.

Stuff Happens

The mark of a great golf travel company is not just how well they execute the things that go right, but also how they respond when something goes wrong. We would love nothing more than to say that every H&B Expedition goes off without a single hitch. But occasionally... Stuff happens.

In those rare cases, when you travel with H&B, the combination of our 30 years of expertise, our dedicated partners on the ground, and our 24/7 support team are all called into action to get your trip back in the fairway.

We’ve Heard It All

By traveling with Haversham & Baker, you’ve tapped into over three decades of expertise in search of the best overseas golf trip possible. With that knowledge and expertise comes a better itinerary, but also a little peace of mind in the unlikely event that your trip encounters a bit of adversity.

The fact is, we’ve heard it all. From common issues like cancelled flights or lost baggage to more pressing situations like misplaced passports or Icelandic volcanoes grounding air travel for days. This means that no matter what the golf travel gods throw your way, you can rest easy knowing that we’ve probably encountered your particular challenge somewhere along the way. But more importantly, we’ve also solved that particular challenge as well.

A Little Help From Our Friends

We call them our “Foreign Legion” and among the ranks are an untold number of Driver-Hosts, Maître D's, Caddie Masters, Hotel Managers, Concierges, Club Secretaries, Executive Chefs, Personal Guides.

Most of the time, the minor inconveniences of travel can be resolved by these dedicated professionals. On the off chance that it can’t, however, there is yet another solution in our repertoire.

Pick Up the Batphone

In the extremely rare occasion that something goes off course during your trip which can’t be resolved by our partners on the ground, all you have to do is pick up the Batphone.

Our 24/7 support hotline is at your disposal for exactly this kind of situation. Although you won’t speak with Batman or Robin, you will reach a senior member of the H&B team who is ready and able to find a solution.

The video at the top of this post has a few epic tales from the Batphone. You might think of it as a type of travel insurance that’s exclusive to H&B: chances are you won’t need it, but you’ll be really glad to have it if you do.

Because we all have that one nightmare travel story, it’s only natural to wonder if it might repeat itself during a golf trip across the pond. But thanks to our decades of experience, our network of dedicated partners on the ground, and the 24/7 peace of mind of the Batphone, any potential detour in your trip is sure to be resolved both quickly and effectively. Allowing you to get back to what’s most important…
