Discerning recreational golfers make it a priority to get to and from Bandon Dunes, Kiawah Island, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Whistling Straits and other famous destinations as efficiently as possible.
There’s not much worse than travel hassles getting in the way of what should be smooth flying.
Claude Harmon III is no different. One of the world’s most renowned golf instructors needs to be on the lesson tee, so to speak, on time – or else.
That very well could be the genesis of his recent partnering with private aviation company Magellan Jets.
The addition of Harmon III follows Magellan Jets’ recent selection as the “Official Private Aviation Provider” of 4Aces Golf Club, captained by two-time major champion Dustin Johnson, on the LIV Golf League. Many professional golfers on major Tours worldwide have purchased Magellan Jets’ Jet Cards and flown Charter with the company.
Assuming the title of Head Golf Professional for Magellan Jets, Harmon III will host unique golf experiences (golf lessons included) and develop playing-tips content exclusive to the company’s Private Clients, display the Magellan Jets logo on his golf shirt and be featured in marketing campaigns.
Harmon III has flown privately with Magellan Jets which is the foundation of the partnership.
“When I fly domestically and overseas to help Tour players and others improve their games, it’s essential my private air travel is seamlessly managed,” said Harmon III. “Magellan’s reliability, comfort and safety-first orientation gives me peace of mind, as does its access to a wide range of planes where and when they’re needed, even last minute.”
“Magellan Jets is well known for personalizing journeys, and that’s what Claude and our Private Clients love,” said Joshua Marc Hebert, Founder and CEO of Magellan Jets. “His brand ambassadorship is authentic, and we share the belief of going the extra mile for our respective Clients.”
