Golf and Planes = $$$ and Fun

If I had a fat Prada pocketbook, an American Express Black Card and unlimited funds (wait, living in L.A. and working in golf I’m supposed to, right?) I’ll tell you what golf club I would really join…although, it may not be the easy Riviera or Shady Canyon answer most would give or expect. No, no. How about a little deal called the Excursion Air Golf Club?

As the self-proclaimed first private air charter golf club in Los Angeles, Excursion Air has partnered with a variety of golf courses and literally takes golfers to new heights that most (if any) other golf clubs cannot. Indulge me, if you will, while I illustrate:

Imagine arriving at the Million Air sign at Hawthorne Airport around 8 a.m….after being attended to by the valet staff, depart on a 30-minute flight in your private Raytheon Beechcraft King Air aircraft…greeted as the “golf royalty that you are” upon arrival, relax in the VIP limousine that will escort you to the golf destination of your choosing (Sandpiper, Aviara or even Pebble Beach, perhaps?)…delight in lunch at the turn of your inevitably perfect round (to, of course, match the perfect day it’s already been)…join other elite Excursion Air members for a libation and gourmet dinner before your VIP limo returns to wisk you back to your aircraft…and after another brief flight, and an impressive 12-hour day, you’re back in the Million Air hanger, with a with an extra bounce in your step and a smile on your face.

Ahhhh. Sigh.

No folks, this is not a dream. And it can all be yours for the bargain price of…hmm…unknown. It’s never a good sign when the price is not listed. But who cares! Excursion Air can also take you to such exotic locations as Kapalua on Maui, Spain’s Valderrama Golf Club, or Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. And with four membership options (one individual and three corporate…get the boss to pay for it!), there’s opportunity for everyone to get a piece of the good life.

Here’s my proposal: I don’t REALLY need to pay rent next month, anyone game for a flight and foursome at Bandon Dunes?
