Why I, and why you should, play golf.
Discover some of the best courses and travel tips for your next golfing adventure.
Jo Maes
I’ve now played 379 golf courses—and counting. I've been incredibly lucky to experience so many incredible venues, while also attending some of the game’s greatest events: The Open, the Ryder Cup, and numerous DP World Tour and PGA TOUR tournaments.
Along the way, I’ve sat in press conferences with renowned course architects launching their latest designs, teed it up alongside professional golfers—both men and women—and witnessed firsthand how they approach the game at the highest level.
My goal is to share these experiences with golfers around the world, offering real insights to help others choose where to play next.
I’m no pro—just an amateur with an insatiable love for the game. I’m equally drawn to golf’s rich traditions and its exciting evolution. Few things give me greater joy than stepping onto a perfectly prepared course and soaking in the full experience.
What’s more, I’ve been fortunate to turn this passion into a career: I’m the founder of the European Golf & Travel Media Association and co-founder of a golf tech company working to shape the future of the sport.
Next year, I’ll have the honour of serving as Captain of my local golf club — a role that means a great deal to me. I’ll also have the distinction of being the first Belgian to hold this position at an Irish golf club, something I’m incredibly proud of. It’s a privilege to be entrusted with this responsibility, and I look forward to giving back to a community and a game that have given me so much.
