How To Get A Great Golf Deal

It's time to play with currencies! This winter is going to provide some of the best golf travel deals in a number of a year, if not decades, especially if you're an American golfer.

As deflation continues to tear through the global economy, prices continue to drop. The longer you wait, the better the deals will be.

There is another way to profit than by simply waiting for another "seat sale", eventhough the airlines will probably be offering plenty of those again, too (don't forget, a number of of them have already abandoned their fuel surcharges imposed last Spring as oil was making its Everest-like climb to $140 a barrel).

The big savings come in monitoring the price swings in the Canadian-US dollar ratio. Right now, the US dollar is very strong against a majority of the world's major currencies as cash looks for a safe haven in US Treasuries.

That includes strength against the Canadian dollar and if you happen to have a CDN dollar account outside Canada, then try to take advantage of some great deals at Ultimate Golf But if you don't have such an account, no problem!

Ultimate Golf is a Canadian-based golf travel company with links to Canada's big box-store golf retailers, Golf Town. It prices golf packages in Canadian dollars and offers trips all over the world.

Right now, there are some dandy deals to be had. To make those deals even sweeter, the Canadian dollar is well off its par value with the Greenback last summer.

Now, the currency discount is about 20% or so. When you combine that with the cheap deals to be had, you're getting some real value for your money! Posted by: Chris Henry    Source
