The latest episode of Seasonal Discussions features David Harris, founder and director of Bonnie Wee Golf, in a conversation exploring the business of golf tourism and the development of bespoke travel experiences.
With host Chris McDonald, this episode looks at how Bonnie Wee Golf was established and has grown over time. With more than two decades of experience, David shares insight into organising golf holidays, primarily for visitors travelling to Scotland, and the planning involved in delivering tailored experiences.
David said: "We organise golf experiences and golf holidays, mostly for Americans, and we’ve been doing that for about 23 years."
The episode also highlights the seasonal nature of the business, from time spent travelling and meeting clients to attending industry events such as the PGA Show in Orlando. David reflects on the practical considerations involved in booking bespoke golf tours, including how far in advance trips should be planned and the level of detail required to meet expectations.
Alongside the operational side of the business, the episode also touches on the importance of creativity in promoting Scottish golf. This includes producing engaging content that captures attention, with one light-hearted moment in the conversation posing the question of whether even Dracula might be tempted onto the fairway, reflecting the unique and imaginative ways destinations can be presented.
David also reflects on receiving the Best Tour Operator award at Scottish Golf Tourism Week.
Overall, the conversation offers insight into the work behind delivering high-quality golf experiences and the continued appeal of Scotland as a destination for the sport.
