When Fiona and I began The Claret Junior Tour, still known by many of you as The Claret Jug Tour, we did so with a list of priorities that were of great importance to us. There were many of them but the following were those we agreed we would not compromise on.
- We will operate in a highly professional manner at all times and become THE family friendly tour that cares deeply about developing our junior golfers.
- We will always strive to play great venues across Central Florida, those that are both fun and challenging, for juniors to play.
- We will welcome ALL juniors of ALL abilities to play junior tournament golf with us.
- We will recognize and, where possible, assist and reward those juniors who lead by example in character, integrity, behavior and etiquette.
- We will make every effort to make ranked junior tournament golf “family-affordable” and accessible to ALL junior golfers who WANT to develop and compete.
As we head into our 7th year of hosting tournaments, and our own 8th year in Florida since leaving Scotland, those priorities remain as important to us today as they did when we hosted our first tournament!
2025 has been another great year so far, it’s still a long way from being finished for us with a Claret Jug Championship Tournament still to come and of course this Annual FUNdRaiser that’s now in its 4th year at Harbor Hills CC! By the time this comes around we will have played 45 days of junior tournament golf, both 18 and 36-hole tournaments, we’ve visited 16 great Central Florida venues to play and along the way welcomed hundreds of young players to those tournaments!
This year alone we’ve awarded more than 100 “lowest scorer” medal awards to 59 juniors ranging in age from 10 to 18 and we have watched numerous young talented players consistently improve and develop in the sport we all love to watch and play. Even more important than that we have watched so many of them develop in confidence and character too! Golf really does instill some great qualities in our youth, qualities they will undoubtedly benefit from as they make their way in life. To name just a few, these include Humility, Honesty, Respect and Integrity. We hope you agree with us that these are all great traits for our youngsters to be practicing and learning as they grow.
If you already know who we are you may know that one other thing that makes us unique from EVERY other junior tour out there is the awarding of Annual Scholarship Awards to our hardest working, most committed and most deserving junior players. With the help and kindness of so many, in 2025 we awarded 7 of our regular playing juniors, boys and girls, aged from 13 to 17 with these awards. Each award made gives the recipient FREE tournament golf for a year, YES every time we play and at every venue we visit these juniors play FREE. All of their golf tournament costs are either covered by the tour or by a donating sponsor. Check out below our current junior golfers who received scholarship awards this year, our Claret Tour “Class of ’25” have been a credit to our tour, themselves and their families. They have represented us magnificently with their exceptional etiquette, leadership and not forgetting, some great tournament golf too!
So why do we have a FUNdraiser each year?
To continue operating the way we do now means we will always NEED additional support and financial help. We are very fortunate to have the support and sponsorship of great business friends, Tony Viero, at Phillips Toyota in Leesburg and Todd and Melissa Coon, owners of TCL-Tri County Landscapes and DeSantis AC in The Villages already provide annual support towards our tour’s operating costs. To those long standing friends of our tour and junior golf we are forever thankful as without their backing we would not be where we are today! In addition, we have previously managed to secure the help of a few local business and personal sponsors for our scholarship players and we hope we can do so again in 2026, and along the way, add a few more to help us help more juniors to develop in 2026, and beyond!
We hope you can make it along on the 27th December? If you are unable to be there then perhaps you would consider making a donation to help? You might even consider sponsoring a hole or even funding, or part funding, one of our scholarship players in 2026? Please reach out if you have any questions on that and we would be happy to chat about the benefits you can expect in return for supporting our junior golfers.
