Thanks to Cheryle we had a wonderful 4 1/2 days in Tasmania. Everything went to plan beautifully, and the weather could not have been better, especially for our 3 days of golf at Barnbougle. Our room at Lost Farm, the food at both Lost Farm and The Dunes, the upgraded hire car and the morning golf tee-off times - all details were organised to perfection. A huge thank you from both of us.
