AJ4U Golf & Guide

= AJ for YOU =

guide – on and – off the Crete golf course:

AJ founder of AJ4U and Wicked Golfers

AJ4U or as properly pronounced AJ for YOU !

AJ4U Golf & Guide was officially registered in January 2017. The goal of this one-person-company is to offer you, as a golf player the ultimate leisure experience on the golf course, but also beside the course. AJ’s main prospective is to provide you a worry-less round of Golf and on the side let you experience the beauty of the island of Crete.

As aids for these goals he uses this website which is a result of his hobby website about golf; WickedGolfers.com and Routaki.com, on which AJ (better known on this platform as Mr. Routaki) offers free route descriptions and provides audio files (so called RAGiF’s) with interesting facts and details about the island, its inhabitants and their cultural aspects.

AJ on as golf guide on the Crete golf CourseAJ is the nickname for Arjan, the creative founder of this website, who decided in 2012 to become a golf professional. Most English speaking people have problems pronouncing his Dutch name, that’s why Arjan uses is first two initials to be known for every body, every where.

At that moment in 2013 he had done two driving range sessions on the Crete Golf Course and no further knowledge of the golf sport.

Since that beginning he has been a member at

  • the Crete Golf Course
  • the Costa Navarino golf Course The Bay and The Dunes
  • and some weeks in Liemeer and Bilthoven.

On his blog roll on his (former) hobby website WickedGolfers.com you can read a lot about his ‘365 Days of Golf’ tour which he planned and partly executed in the spring of 2014.

brilliant hit on argenta golf clubEverybody can be a Wicked Golfer !

Young, old, talented, senior, high-handicapper, truck driver, multi national, cleaning lady, receptionist, lawyer, Pakistani, handicapped, tanned, coloured, enthusiastic or lazy.

As long as you are enjoying the game. Respect others and the course and live life to the fullest!

AJ hopes you find what you’re looking for on this website, on Crete or on any golf course in the world.

Enjoy the game as it is; a simple sport where a ball has to go in a small hole over a pretty long distance. The golf sport is already misused in so many ways. Let us just have fun and be amazed by all its aspects.

[Note: WickedGolfers.com was the website name that AJ started to build when he started to play golf. With on some point an everage viewers rate of 5.550 unique visitors a month, it’s still live and in the air. Nice to read e.g. the blog roll concerning the ‘365 Days of Golf tour’ AJ did in 2014. He will transfer overtime the content into this website.]

where is the crete golf courseThe Crete Golf Club is situated on the road to Kastelli, coming from the beach resort Hersonissos. The Golf Course is the only 18 holes course on the island. Hersonissos is situated on the eastern part of the island along the north coast. The province name is still called Heraklion, after the capital of the island, but while playing you have a marvellous view over the Dikti mountains and this mountain range is already part of the Lassithi prefecture.

The golf course is open all year round, with the exception of some week in January. Since the golf hotel is situated next to the club house the course can always be visited and a room is always available.

Book AJ as your guide. With or without a game of Golf.

AJ’s top favorite places

After years on the island. AJ likes to share his most favorite places. You can visit them with him in one of his (golf) packages or explore on your own.

AJ tries to achieve that every place has a nice offer for you if you show an e-mail or instragram repost at the spot. Each name is (or will be) a link to a page with a small (route) description and some Routaki Audio Guide info Files (for free) which tell you about things you see or like to know along the way.

Start with why by Simon Sinek

AJ’s WHY

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

AJ’s HOW

by organizing the Camper Golf Lifestyle and execute it into perfection.

AJ’s WHAT

joyfull midweek or weekend golf trips, with the use of luxury mobile home(s), travelling the word from golf course to golf course.

On this page AJ likes to explain the meaning of these words and tell you about his ideas.

WHY?

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

These first words say it all. To be an inspiration for all of you that is interested, open to listen, read of view. By telling my stories, showing my visual media, posting my reviews and opionion I hope to motivate you in becoming better, happier, smarter, luckier or whatever you like to achieve.

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

“Leuk” is the Dutch word for fun. I once had a comment that I used the word to often. But for me it’s the most important thing in life. We should have fun in our life. It’s to short to miss out. So I’ll do my upmost to create fun. Not only for you, but also for myself. But if you have fun, I will have it too.

be happy by John Lennon

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

already in my short tiem active in the golf sport I noticed that a lot of people don’t realize that golf can give so much fun. This is for those who don’t play the game yet. But also for the ones that do already participate. Hancicaps, rules, etiquettes, costs are all of influence of the amount of happiness the game, leisure activity can give you.

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

The main key word of my service and product. So also this whole website will be around golf. Details, rules, hot spots, opinions what all comes to mind. In basis I travel from golf course to golf course (but not only), so will publish about the people I meet, the events I experience and aspects I learn.

I am a fan of the share economy. So why should we all have our own clubs? Why can’t we be together and figur out a solution for a problem, or use e.g. one taxi to get to the local museum.

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

Everybody knows something. Has other passions and likes to talk about different subject. With this keyword I like to express that I would like to listen to the stories of my guests. To learn, to be inspired or motivated and to grow. Feedback in daily life. Social converstations with a laugh and a drink. Hope you know what I mean.

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

Brainstorming is one of my biggest hobbies. Creating new ideas every day. Till it makes me crazy and I have to tell myself; ‘stick to the product’. But maybe I can help you give a new inside, inspire you or tell you ‘out of the box’ ideas. In person during the après golf drink or in a motivational speech when you’re sitting together with your club members.

For more that 25 years I am already working in tourism. Get on a plane is for me the same as catching the bus. I try to use all these experiences to create the ultimate leisure time for you. Because travelling is what Camper Golf Lifestyle and AJ4U Golf & Guide is all about. To see, remember and capture things.

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

Why should I stick to my home town, the Netherlands or even Europe. Golf is played everywhere and in all places are people that can share their hobbies, passions or struggles with me. Try to be there in the spring time, so weather will be nice and comfortable. As a gost once wrote out for me: Where am I going to work? Über die ganze Welt – All over the world!

To inspire people to have fun in golf, share knowledge and show possibilities, while travelling the world together.

Mean idea is of course that you book your participation in my lifestyle. But I hope will enjoy already being on the road with me, before and after you come along. Through this website, the social media channels and photos and videos I hope to give you the holiday/leisure feeling that we all like so much.

HOW?

Organizing the whole lifestyle by improving the product and service every single day.
All the items that come with that, make this ‘how’. It starts with this page and it never ends. Because the lifestyle doesn’t have an ending, that’s why it’s called a lifestyle. Arrange the luxury mobile home(s), planning the route, calling the golf courses, providing the info e-mails, checking the availability, writing the motivational speeches for the evening programm, practice the driver shot, interviewing the golf pro and on and on and on. Every seperate detail has to be work out and need a back up, just in case.

the beauty of Crete, with all its colours

WHAT?

You as a follower, guest or client will only see and experience the WHAT; midweeks or weekends were you gonna have great fun, playing the game of golf, enjoying the service provided and sharing all you like to share. You travel with or without your (own) mobile home with me that specific piece or route that you selected on forehand. We play, we eat, we sleep and have the best time of our lives.

For years I have these slogans on the wall, which cover it all (in my opinion)

EAT, PLAY, LOVE

ANY TIME

ANY PLACE

ANY WHERE
