“If life is truly a game; then we can play it better!”

 

Following 20 plus years travelling for business purposes as a sales manager, Philip Herterick, decided it was time to stop and follow a less travelled road.   He started his own business as a sales & marketing consultant.    But like most salesmen, golf was his passion.   So, he combined his passion for golf with his business and became a Golf Scotland franchise agent in 2002.  

 

We all know that a little local knowledge of a course can help you play the game better and score your best.   The same is true of running a business or planning a golf vacation!    Unlike most golf tour companies, Philip and Golf Scotland work to combine their tremendous resources and personal service with just a little local knowledge to create the most golf memorable vacation of your life.     Life is a game… we play it better!
