"For the last 3 years, Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) has collaborated with the staff at the PGA Tour Golf Academy at WGV, providing a unique golf coaching experience for wounded warriors recovering from a wide array of physical and mental injuries. What sets the Academy apart is the ability to have multiple golf coaches deliver high-level instruction while adding their own flair and personality to each session."

Greg T. Stay and Play Experiences

"First let me say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. The weekend far exceeded my expectations. All was just perfect, from beginning to end. I thought this would be a one time event for me, but I am already thinking of doing it all again in a few years."

Andy P. Buddy Trip

"Thank you again for helping organize an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience - it was the best golf experience I have ever had. Learning about the history of Sawgrass and then experiencing it like a pro was truly special. I will watch the Players Championship on TV this year with a different perspective."

Jason M. Buddy Trip

"Just wanted to say thank you to the team that helped us put together our trip! The staff and resort were amazing and we enjoyed every minute we were there! It was a beautiful property, and every meal was fantastic and service was great. The two courses I played were both in great shape and were fun to play as well!"

Lori R. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

“Anne Cain is an amazing teacher. Her instruction was easy to understand and was visually supported with her video evaluation. She gave me take home drills which helped to reinforce a better turn and arm position in my swing. I won’t go to another instructor! She’s rated as a Top 100 Pro for a very good reason!”

Keith M. Stay & Play Vacation

“Everything about our TPC Sawgrass experience was excellent, and I checked playing at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course off my bucket list. All of the staff were amazing, especially the caddies. Thanks for all of your help in putting this together for us, and we will definitely keep you in mind on our inevitable future trips to TPC courses!”

Dennis S. Stay & Play Vacation

“Without Golf Experiences, this trip would have never been possible!! I always try to deal with people that understand my wants as far as not just accommodations, they are important but to work with me on dates and tee times, you were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for all your help!! You are ACES!”

Renne & Bob D. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

Our thanks to Anne and the Golf Experiences team for making our experience enjoyable and positive.”

Dan M. Buddy Trip

“We have been doing this trip for 12 years and the guys thought this was the best “overall” experience. The Golf Experiences team delivered exactly what was quoted and with no hidden fees. The courses were great and the people were very friendly and helpful. Bottom line we thoroughly enjoyed our experience”

Parent of a Junior Camper Junior Golf Camp

“Great camp! My son really learned a lot and had fun. The camp introduced him to golf correctly and without the pressure of playing with adults. This builds confidence in a child’s own ability.”

“My son was so excited every morning to go to camp. He loved the coaches and really enjoyed the kids in his group. He came home every day and practiced in our backyard. Thank you for a successful program. Also, thank you for the assortment of goodies on the first day of camp.”

“My son just finished the half-day camp at TPC Scottsdale. I took him golfing this morning for the first time since and I was absolutely amazed at his improvement since we last played. Absolutely amazing!!! The coaches at TPC Scottsdale do an excellent job and my son will be back for future camps. Thank you.”

Rajesh PGA TOUR Golf Academy

“You guys have one of the best training curriculum and “building block” approach in the market. I played with my friends in the south of Spain on three different courses and I performed better and our group always won! Once again, thanks for your patience and sharing your passion with me.”

Larry A. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

“My instructor did a superb job introducing me to all phases of the game, as I am relatively new to the game. He was knowledgeable, communicated well, and was patient with me. Before departing, my instructor ensured I had the Tour Academy Home Edition, and I’m now using the 8-week course to enhance the training I received during my visit.”

Tony Group Experience

“Thank you so much for your help planning our group Golf trip to TPC Sawgrass. From the room to the golf everything was great! Everyone in the group put our trip to TPC Sawgrass as the top guy’s golf trip they have been on in recent years. I can not thank you enough for all your help!”

John Group Experience

“Thanks again for all your help in putting together this outing for three of my largest customers, we had 12 golfers that ranged from 2 to 18 handicap and everyone had a fantastic time. Everything was first class from the resort, the clubhouse, the courses, and everyone involved with the course. It's trips like this that keep my customers happy.”

David Group Experience

“The day was fantastic from beginning to end. Beautiful facility (and nice weather), proper planning (and execution), delicious food, and a fun team building event; it couldn’t have gone better. I certainly hope we can have more events at TPC Sawgrass in the future.”

Nathan Group Experience

“I can’t express enough my gratitude for your assistance in rescheduling our client golf outing from Sea Island to TPC Sawgrass on a two day notice - I know it’s not easy to find tee times and hotel rooms for 16 guys with such little notice. Everyone enjoyed the golf and facilities. We will be back for sure!”

Joe Group Experience

“Sunriver lived up to its billing! The greens were some of, if not the best I have ever played and I’ve played a number of top 50 like Saucon Valley. It was a great recommendation and good value. My best friend and I are thinking about going back with our wives next year.”

What Our Clients Say

Nothing makes us happier than setting up the perfect golf trip for our customers.  Here are some kind words from a handful of customers.

HI Tom, Just wanted to send a heartfelt THANK YOU for the trip you prepared for us. As my dad said yesterday on the way home, “we wouldn’t change a thing”😊. ‍ We are so grateful for the accommodations that were perfect for us, the people you had us interface with who were completely incredible, and the courses you set up for us which were a great mix of old and new and all high quality. ‍ I sincerely hope this is not the last trip you plan for us and I would not hesitate to send my friends to you for future trips.

You did a fantastic job planning our trip.  The itinerary, courses, transportation, times, and general rhythm of the trip was right on the money. In addition, your genuine care for how it was going, and availability was beyond my expectation. The app and King of Scotland game made it so fun and easy for us to play, track real time, and be able to focus on being there.  And the app to help make the pairings was a game changer.  It was fantastic all the way around, and I just want to say thank you.  Thank you very, very much!  Outstanding job. It was a pleasure working with you on the trip.

Everything about the trip was incredible. Organization and communication leading up to and throughout the week was top notch. I have already let 3 friends know they have to use RTG for their next golf trip!

Amazing Trip. Thanks for everything u put together! DK

Amazing getting on at Muirfield. The Marine Hotel was terrific, the drivers were pros.

It was an incredible trip. Everything was arranged very well. Tee times were at times that met our needs well. The hotels were excellent and transportation went off without a hitch. Well done!

Terrific line-up to start our week: Sligo - Carne - Enniscrone. Carne was by far the highlight of the three. Lahinch and Doonbeg rounds were wonderful. Lodging at Mount Falcon in Ballina and Doonbeg were top notch. Our first driver for first 3 days Aidan was a true professional and fun guy to travel with. This trip was a home run.

Incredible experience from start to finish. RTG made the trip unforgettable and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to organize an international golf trip.

Tom planned an incredible trip for my group. Everything ran smoothly including lodging, travel, dinners, and most importantly, golf. I highly recommend using RTG Golf for any trip to Ireland.

As always, Tom does a fantastic job. He dots every I, and crosses every T. Never a surprise. They run like clockwork. I think this was my tenth trip with Tom, and I’d do another 10!

Thanks Tom for all you did. It was a fantastic trip and well organized, thanks to you. Appreciate it!

The trip was a once in a lift time experience and a lot of that was due to Tom Kazlak organizational skills and attention to detail. Any issue that came up he was all over it. And is driver in the Edinburgh area (Stuart) was the most dedicated to the customer driver I have ever experienced. Every bit of the trip was 1st Class!!!!!!!!!!1

Great fellowship, amazing courses and scenery, comfortable lodging in great locations, seamless ground transportation in all facets, and amazing attention to detail in making it all work. Well done, Tom! Thank you for setting up an incredible experience that I will never forget.

Travel tips, best time of year to travel to ireland, scotland & england to play golf.

Traditionally the golfing season starts in mid-April and runs through to mid-October. Most links courses open year-round but may have restrictions on play during the winter season.

When should I book my trip to ensure best availability?

Early planning is essential to guarantee tee times on the world’s most sought-after courses. Generally, most courses will open their tee-sheets from July the year prior to play. As an Authorized Provider of coveted tee times at the Old Course St. Andrews, our team submits all client requests in February the year prior to play, so we advise that you submit your desired tee time as early as possible.

Caddies in Ireland, Scotland & England

Carr Golf will assist in requesting caddies if required during your trip. Typically, caddies in Ireland will carry two bags. In Scotland, Northern Ireland & England, caddies will generally carry 1 bag each. Caddie costs differ per course but are generally around €/£ 50-75 per golfer per round, plus gratuity. Please check with your Fulfilment Executive on specifics relating to courses for your itinerary.

7.4 magnitude quake hits Taiwan, strongest in 25 years

By Nectar Gan , Wayne Chang , Jerome Taylor, Antoinette Radford, Deva Lee and Maureen Chowdhury , CNN

Our live coverage of the Taiwan earthquake has moved here.

Search and rescue efforts continue after 7.4 magnitude earthquake rocks Taiwan. Here's the latest

From CNN staff

Rescuers are working to free dozens trapped after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of Taiwan — causing landslides and collapsed structures.

At least nine people have died , more than 900 others are injured and over 100 buildings have been damaged.

The quake is the strongest to hit Taiwan in 25 years .

Here's what else we know:

• The quake:  The earthquake  hit  at 7:58 a.m. local time, 18 kilometers (11 miles) south of the city of Hualien at a depth of 34.8 kilometers, according to the US Geological Survey.
• Aftershocks : The quake was followed by 29 aftershocks greater than a magnitude of 4.0 near the epicenter of the earthquake in east Taiwan so far, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Tremors have been felt across the island, including in Taipei. Tremors as high as magnitude 7 are  expected  in the following days.
• Hualien County:  The region where the quake struck, Hualien County, has a population of about 300,000, around 100,000 of whom live in the main city of Hualien. But many in the region live in remote coastal or mountain communities that  can be hard to reach , so it might take time to understand the extent of Wednesday's quake.
• Trapped miners: Taiwan's national fire agency said that 71 people are trapped in two mines in Hualien.
• Power cuts : More than 91,000 households were without electricity, according to Taiwan's Central Emergency Command Center.
• Medical facilities: Hospitals across Taiwan’s capital , Taipei City, are operating normally despite being damaged by Wednesday’s earthquake, according to the Municipal Government.
• US monitoring: The Biden administration is monitoring the earthquake in Taiwan overnight and is prepared to offer assistance, a National Security Council spokesperson said Wednesday. 

71 miners trapped in 2 mines in Taiwan after earthquake, national fire agency says

From CNN's Shawn Deng

Taiwan's national fire agency said that 71 people are trapped in two mines in Hualien after a powerful earthquake struck the island. 

In the Heping mine, there are 64 people trapped, and seven more are trapped in the Zhonghe mine, the fire agency said in a news conference on Wednesday.

Taiwanese semiconductor facilities will resume production overnight following earthquake

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC), the chipmaking giant, said on Wednesday that its facilities which were impacted by the 7.4 magnitude earthquake are expected to resume production overnight. 

TSMC reported that their overall tool recovery is at more than 70% within 10 hours of the earthquake striking the island. Safety systems are also operating normally, TSMC added.

The company noted that a small number of tools were damaged but that there was no damage to its extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) tools. Work at construction sites will resume after further inspections are complete, TSMC said.

Earlier, a TSMC spokesperson told CNN they had evacuated some manufacturing plants. All personnel are now safe, TSMC said in an update.

Biden administration monitoring Taiwan earthquake, White House says

From CNN's Sam Fossum

The Biden administration is monitoring the earthquake in Taiwan overnight and is prepared to offer assistance, a National Security Council spokesperson said Wednesday. 

"We are monitoring reports of the earthquake impacting Taiwan and continue to monitor its potential impact on Japan. The United States stands ready to provide any necessary assistance. All those affected are in our prayers," a statement from National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said.

7 major earthquakes have hit Taiwan over the last 50 years

The 7.4 magnitude earthquake that killed at least nine people and injured hundreds Wednesday, is the strongest to hit Taiwan in 25 years .

Over the last 50 years, the island has experienced a total of seven major earthquakes, the last being a 7.1 magnitude quake in 2006 in Pingtung County in southern Taiwan.

The island sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire , which makes it prone to earthquakes.

See a full list of the earthquakes that have hit Taiwan:

29 aftershocks above 4.0 magnitude have occurred near epicenter since earthquake, US Geological Survey says

From CNN's Sara Tonks 

There have been 29 aftershocks greater than a magnitude of 4.0 near the epicenter of the earthquake in east Taiwan so far, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Of these aftershocks:

• One was above 6.0
• 13 have been at or above 5.0
• 14 have been above 4.0.

Forecast during recovery efforts: Tonight's forecast in Hualien City, near the epicenter, calls for increasing cloud coverage. Thursday is looking at mostly cloudy skies with afternoon showers and rain Thursday night and Friday during the day.

Rainfall totals should be relatively light for Taiwan, with models calling for under 25 mm (less than 1 inch) by Friday evening local time.
