FROM RALEIGH GOWIE, STIRLING UNIVERSITY

It would be great if more players from the UK could attend the Orange Blossom Tour. The standard of competition is very strong and it is a fantastic learning experience. In addition, it helps players gain a competitive edge prior to the UK competitive season commencing in spring.

Moreover, University of Stirling staff are happy to act as chaperones if this helps and to co-ordinate travel within the USA. For example, Holly Clyburn linked in with us last year and travelled and stayed with the Stirling girls.

 

I can give you pretty accurate costs:

 

Return flights either to Miami or Orlando

£450 per person

This covers 1 practice round; 4 competitive rounds; entry gift; continental breakfast on each of the competitive days and 2 dinners.
