The idea of traveling alone can feel both thrilling and a little terrifying at the same time. Booking a flight with no one to check in with, choosing an itinerary based entirely on personal interest, and navigating a new place solo are big adjustments if you’ve only ever traveled with others.
The good news is that a first solo trip goes much more smoothly with the right preparation.

Angkor Wat draws over two million visitors a year, and for good reason.

Every golfer has a hole-in-one story, even if it’s about somebody else. The ball that pitched, checked and dropped. The playing partner who couldn’t find a fairway all day and then holed out on the 14th. It’s the one shot that rewrites the scorecard and the bar tab in the same moment.
So how likely is it? The figures most often quoted, popularised by the US-based National Hole-in-One Registry, put the odds for an average amateur at around 12,500 to 1 on any given par 3. For a t

How much should a golfer drink on a humid August afternoon compared with a 40°F morning in November? The answer depends on the weather, and the colder round has a risk of its own, because thirst drops sharply in the cold while the body still loses water.

Golf is lower in intensity than most sports, and a walking round still adds up to a long stretch of moderate exercise. In a 2026 study of competitive golf, 16 low-handicap male golfers played competitive rounds o

A golf holiday is a trip built around golf, combining accommodation with reserved rounds, as distinct from a single green-fee day or a beach holiday with one round bolted on. A golf break is the shorter version of the same idea. The best destination for 2027 is the one that matches four things: who is travelling, how long you have, what style of golf you want, and how far you are willing to travel to get it.
That sounds obvious, but it is where most destination lists fail. A flat countdown of fa

The UK has been closely associated with golf for centuries, and that reputation still attracts players looking for a memorable break. While overseas destinations have become increasingly accessible and desirable, especially for warmer weather, travelling within the UK still offers plenty of appeal for a few days of golf.
Part of that appeal comes from the convenience of domestic travel. A golf trip can be easier to arrange when no international flight is involved, particularly if the break lasts

In the recreational realm, many people look forward to golf after work or on the weekend. It provides a reason to spend time away from the usual routine while doing something they genuinely enjoy.
But golf can also create opportunities outside of playing. A hobby that takes up much of your spare time could potentially become a small source of additional income if you find the right approach. Of course that doesn’t mean giving up your day job or trying to turn yourself into a professional g

Some careers are built on a cabinet full of majors. Others are defined by a single week. Golf’s history is full of players who beat the strongest field in the sport once, lifted the trophy and never repeated it.
Their stories are also a reminder, for anyone betting with Virgin Bet on the majors, that the names at the top of the market do not always finish there.
