What happens when you take a teaching pro, a top ranked amateur, and a golf course owner and put them in a room? 

They get to talking about all their golf trips and good times with their golfing buddies. After much talk about all the fun, the conversation turns to some of the hassles and things that could have been better about their trips and how if they owned a golf tours company they would do it better.  (No one is saying more than a few beers were involved – no one is saying) Of course, eventually they come to the logical conclusion that they could provide the best golf trips for the best value to golfers who want to travel to the best destinations across the pond, and here in the USA.  This is how Breakaway Golf Trips was born.
