The PGA Show had a section devoted to foreign golf adventures, and I had a great time schmoozing with the United Kingdom vendors. One of Scotland’s best private courses, Panmure Golf Club, had a booth with GM David Brodie in charge. My wife and I had played Panmure in August, and I had written about the superior day we had although I did not meet David at that time. Here is the story as it appears on the GTWA website: https://golftravelwriters.com/panmure-golf-club-tradition-hospitality-and-charm/
The Salamander Collection invited a number of media and GTWA writers to a reception on Wednesday afternoon at the next-door Hyatt Regency. The Salamander Collection contains seven four- and five-star properties that CEO Dr. Sheila Johnson has carefully handpicked for their own distinct character and exceptional destination. These properties have continuously achieved top ratings and awards from such authorities as Travel + Leisure, Forbes, Golf World, US News & World Report, and Conde Nast Traveler. The Salamander Collection was recently named Best Luxury Hotel Brand by readers of USA Today.
Two of these resorts, Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, FL and PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, FL host the PGA Tour tournaments Valspar Championship and Cognizant Classic, respectively, and are favorite events for golf writers to cover. The other golf course property is Half Moon on Montego Bay in Jamaica, which offers 54 holes, including the flagship Robert Trent Jones, Sr. layout. The rest of the exclusive collection are in Charleston, SC; Aspen, CO; Middleburg, VA; and Washington, DC.
