A Testimonial from Minnesota
"We left our booking incredibly late, arranging our September trip to Scotland only in May. We knew playing the Old Course was a long shot, but we were just happy to be there to enjoy the surrounding wonders of St Andrews. Thanks to the persistence and expertise of the ASGT team, all four of us managed to get on the Old Course ballot during our week,it was the crowning moment of a wonderful trip. It is a memory that will remain with us forever. We are already planning our 2027 West Coast tour with the team. Can’t wait!"
