Our vision of a United Junior Golf Tour over the British Isles began in 2002, while we were in our GM headquarters in Florida.
Graham was training his top players for the summer season in Europe at CELEBRATION which is a very prestigious golf community in North Orlando where top players like Tiger Woods, Mark O'Meara, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and many more practice for their tournaments.
While there we saw there was a junior competition, we watched for a bit and the idea started to take shape, a sentence went out of our mouths almost at the same time WE COULD DO THIS MUCH BETTER BACK AT HOME, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE UK.
Two years after that moment and many hours of research and preparation the GM JUNIOR GOLF TOUR WAS BORN.
It began in 2005 at St. Andrews Scotland after the British Open in July. This has been our starting point for the GM JUNIOR GOLF TOUR season each year.
During our three years, the GM JUNIOR GOLF TOUR has been nothing but exciting and interesting. We have meet many fantastic players and families, while achieving our purpose of bringing kids to play at a very high level using championship courses, so our players can better themselves and getting familiar of what their life on tour will be when they become golf professionals or top amateurs'.
GM JUNIOR GOLF TOUR is a replica of the PROFESSIONAL EUROPEAN TOUR where Graham played for many years as a PGA professional.
Graham vast experiences in Junior Golf together with his own experience as a tour player are Graham's best assets. His knowledge of the game of golf makes him one of the top golf coaches in the UK.
