Raleigh Gowrie, sports performance manager at the University of Stirling, has been taking his student girls' golf squad to the Orange Blossom Tour in Florida every January for several years now.
After the three events last month, Raleigh is making a great offer to help any girl/woman (she does not have to be Scottish!) with a low handicap with her arrangements to go to the 2013 Orange Blossom Tour next January and, for good measure, he says that the University of Stirling staff would be happy to act as chaperones in Florida.
Raleigh Gowrie writes:
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
Week 1: Harder Hall Invitational, Sebring - Entry fee: $250 = £170.
This covers one practice round, four competitive rounds, entry gift, Continental breakfast on each of the competitive days and two dinners.
Host family accommodation is available on request.
Week 2: South Atlantic Championship, Ormond Beach - Entry fee: $300 = £210.
This covers one practice round; entry to members/competitors' event; four competitive rounds, entry gift, breakfast on each of the competitive days and four dinners; unlimited access to excellent practice facilities.
Host family accommodation is available on request.
Week 3: Doherty Championship, Fort Lauderdale - Entry fee: $300 = £210.
This covers one practice round, entry to tournament which is one qualifying round then into match-play flights, entry gift, Continental breakfast and lunch on each of the competitive days and two dinners; unlimited access to excellent practice facilities.
Host family accommodation is available on request.
Car hire is required. This works out at approximately £50 per day per vehicle.
My estimated cost per person for this three-week trip is somewhere in the region of £1,600 all in.
I’m happy for you to offer my name and contact details if any person wants further information about the tour.
Kind regards,
Raleigh Gowrie
