My wife is exploring our next vacation destination. (I know, I know, it’s been weeks since we were last on vacation.)
She asked me to check out the website of a Mexican resort that friends will be staying at. And when I did, I saw the magic words: COMPLIMENTARY GREENS FEES. (Silent squeals of delight.)
Except…I couldn’t find anything on the website about a golf course. Hmmmmm. Oh, look, there’s the word “activities.”
click!
Ah, golf nearby! And again, the magic words: COMPLIMENTARY GREENS FEES. “Click to learn more details.”
click!
There it is…in teeny tiny print: “Terms and conditions apply.”
click!
“Premium tee time supplement: $35.” (A premium tee time turns out to be anything between 6AM and 1PM.)
“Cart fee: $50 per person in shared cart.” (Carts mandatory.)
Nothing about complimentary transportation to the course. Let’s figure at least $20.
So COMPLIMENTARY GREENS FEES will run at least $100.
click!
Hmmm….click with caution is my motto and always read the small print! Me thinks that somehow you’ll find a way to play golf!
Me thinks so too.
Hi Gerry:
I guess it goes back to the old cliche if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! (I enjoyed the silent sqeals of delight!)
I’d be “teed off” about the fine print. [groan] Can’t wait to learn about your next adventure! I still tell people about the great Machu Picchu pictures you shared on your blog.
Thanks. I can’t wait either! (Especially a week after the hurricane, and right now, it’s snowing!)
