Your host
Golf with friends, hosted by your pro.
“Hi! I’m Jacques Gous. South African born, I’ve been a UK-based golf professional for more than two decades. I love golf and I love travel, so touring the world with golfers, and coaching them while they enjoy wonderful new experiences, is a natural combination for me.
Since my golfing globetrotting began, I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of organising over 40 tours, to South Africa, Mauritius, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Brazil. Every trip is perfect for single golfers, couples and groups of friends, and non-golfers are just as welcome.”
