Helen Faulds (Douglas Park) and Carol Fell (Ranfurly Castle) went to Portugal for a golfing holiday on Sunday 18th March. They flew with Globespan who left their golf clubs in Glasgow because of overloading. This is happening more frequently ---- SO ALL GOLFERS BEWARE !!! --- 25 sets were left in Glasgow
Helen got her clubs 48 hours later on the Tuesday and the Fells got their clubs on Wednesday afternoon on their return from the golf --- 72 hours later.
On the Homeward journey to Glasgow today everyone on the flight had there golf clubs left at Faro !! --- Approx 50 sets of Clubs ---
So PLEASE BE AWARE of the problem and make sure you are covered in your travel insurance for the extra cost of hiring clubs etc
I THINK WE MUST LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT ALTHOUGH YOU PAY £30 TO BOOK YOUR CLUBS ON A FLIGHT (which we did in October 2006) ---
--- THIS IS WHAT GLOBESPAN SAY :May we refer you to our Terms and Conditions which clearly states:
'Sporting Equipment
Sporting equipment is carried on a limited release basis, i.e. entirely at
your own risk for loss, damage or delay.
IMPORTANT
Sporting equipment will be carried subject to load and as such we cannot guarantee space on the flight on which you are booked for such items. In the unlikely event that space is not available, the equipment will be sent on the next flight with available space.'
SO ALL GOLFERS BE AWARE
However, I strongly feel that perhaps we should let more people know of the problem so please email me at webmaster@rlcga.com and perhaps I can let the newspapers know of the problem
