Based in the UK, Dylan is passionate about golf... and a number of the trips his company runs revolve around the game. But these aren't your typical golf trips... because Lupine Travel specializes in unique destinations, the kind of places some might find... intimidating.
Earlier this year Dylan took a group to North Korea where they played in the North Korean Open. A fun and fascinating time was had by all. Now, the success of the North Korea tournament has inspired, Mr. Harris to plan for a new destination and a new golf event for 2012: The Inaugural 2012 Iranian Amateur Open. Scheduled to take place at Tehran's Enghelab Golf Club over three days from the 14th to 16th of April, and the event is open to all amateur golfers with an up-to-date verified handicap.
Here's the thing; though there's currently only the one course in Iran, there's a well established Iranian Golf Federation and part of it's recently stated mission is "... to popularize and develop golf among every walk of life..." As such the game has seen a huge increase in popularity over the past several years, particularly among women, many of whom compete regularly on a local and regional level.
We'll keep you posted as our plans develop.
