The Scotland Junior Golf Invitational (SJGI) is an elite event between top American High School players. The competition is exceptional and the relationships created are inspiring. We will be playing some of the finest links courses in the world; all courses are top 100 in the UK. This year we are honored to be playing North Berwick Golf Course, rated #9 in the world by Golf Digest.
We have a partnership with NCSA and offer discounts and additional benefits regarding the college recruitment process. We have alumni playing at over 50 Universities in the USA and UK. SJGI is designed for the Athletes. We structure this as an introduction to collegiate golf. NCSA has been instrumental in finding excellent fits for many of our Alumni.
This event has been planned and will be accompanied by Brian and Dana Volmer. They have planned and escorted Scottish tours since 1990. The Volmer's currently are members at several of the clubs we will be visiting, are the Tour Directors of the Scotland Junior Golf Invitational and owners of GoGolfTours, one of the top European tour operators in the USA.
