I've planned my own Scotland and Ireland trips, so I don't know much about any tour operators.  Its really not too difficult to do all the planning yourself, but I ccan also understand those who would choose a tour operator. Two things that I'd look for are:

Flexibility - They should try to develop a package that reflects your interests and budget, rather than trying to push you into one of their pre-set packages.  The should have a variety of lodging choices, from 5-star hotels to smaller B&Bs.  They should be willing to book you into little known courses if you wish.  They should have self-drive packages available, as well as chauffeured vans.   All of these choices can impact the cost to you, as well as the enjoyment you get.

Responsiveness - If I'm paying someone hundreds of dollars to set up my trip, I expect them to reply pretty damn quickly when I have a question.  

Whether you book yourself, or use a tour operator, I suggest that you get Allan Ferguson's book:

Allan can also provide planning services, if you choose

Another good resource is at www.http://golfnook.com/, information about golf courses, towns, a few selection lodging options, etc.

    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
    • If PT doesn't work, then all other options (shots) are just temporary bandages of the pain. You may do more damage. Pain is the bodies way of telling you to STOP. Once you get rid of that, you are just now using an already damaged body part and put more stress and strain on it.
