• Proposed Dates - 1 to 2 options
• No more than 2 housing options (if we're moving locations like the Michigan or OKC trip, 2 per area)
• Golf Plan - Courses, days, a 36-hole in a day option, cost
• "Meal Plan" - We can work out what the actual day by day meal plan will be later, but a general idea with a budget
• Golf Plan - Courses, days, a 36-hole day option
• Any associated non-golf activities (optional)
• Annual Meeting - What day & a proposed place to meet (wherever we are staying is an option)
• Transportation - Car travel while on TOUR
• Total Cost (Excluding Flights) - What we end up paying for actual trip should not deviate more than 10% from this.
• (Optional) General Flight Costs - Thinking about Kiawah here - As Harris mentioned, the majority would be able to drive to Kiawah
