 A note from the director:
Having just returned from St. Andrews Scotland with our 2009 junior program I cannot wait for 2010. More great relationships were established, one key one is with The Fife Golfing Society.
FGS is an organization dedicated to promoting and improving golf in the Kingdom of Fife, in which lies the birthplace of golf - St. Andrews. Alex Moir, the junior chairperson, invited and arranged a friendly match for our juniors at Thornton Golf Club. We had a wonderful experience albeit they spanked us 5 1/2 to 1 1/2 on a sunny Scottish afternoon.
In addition we competed at the Leven Thistle Junior Open, The Kircaldy Junior Open, and a very friendly Lundin links Golf Club. One non-competition highlight was playing the Castle Course, the 7th and newest course managed by St. Andrews Links Trust. 
Our 2010 U.S. Junior Tours program dates are set and we are scheduled into St. Andrews the week after the British Open as this will assure affordable costs. We do have a USJT Golf Travel British Open Program for adults and families and more information is available on our web page.
Let me put you in touch with satisfied customers, families, and friends that have personally experienced St. Andrews and U.S. Junior Tours' outstanding attention to detail.
Please take a moment to read on as 2010 will be a very exciting year and golfers and their families can begin planning by applying now.
Come with us to St. Andrews!

Another Note from the Director |
| |
|
As I mentioned above U.S. Junior Tours offers unique opportunities to see experience golf either playing or just watching.
I have been to many championship sporting events and none of them allows the spectators access to the participants like the British Open. This would be a great parent/child holiday - one never to be forgotten.
Contact me anytime and allow me to put you in touch with past travelers.
