What the captains know

The small things that make or break the trip. Booking windows, weather codes, caddie strategy, the airport you should actually fly into.

The itinerary

What you'll play and when

A captain wrote this. Every tee time has a reason. Here's the first part.

Day 1

Travel + Range

Most SJD flights land afternoon. Use day for settling in, range session, and welcome dinner at resort.

Day 2

Quivira Golf Club

Tee time: 8:00 AM

Early start for crown jewel course. Full energy needed for cliffside holes and difficult layout.

What's inside the kit

The rest of the trip

Five sections. Everything a captain needs to run this trip — not just dream about it.

  • Where you'll stay and why

    The lodging pick, the rate, the reason it beats the alternatives.

  • What it really costs (line by line)

    The actual number per person. Not a vague range.

  • Who to call and what to ask

    Phone numbers, emails, the exact booking script.

  • What to do when you're not on the course

    The best meal of the trip. The post-round bar. The sneaky par-3.

  • From the captain

    Why this trip, what to expect, the things that make the difference.

3 more days inside

The full day-by-day — including which course to play when the wind picks up, caddie strategy, and the right tee times to book — is in the kit.
