Join us as we kickstart our Tournament Travel Squad Portugal Trip today! With bags packed and spirits high, our students embarked on an adventure to Penha Longa Resort earlier today, nestled in the heart of a protected Natural Park. This is a fantastic opportunity for all of our students to experience one of the best resorts and golf courses that Portugal has to offer.  Translating to “Long Rock” in Portuguese, Penha Longa is steeped in history and surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty.

The TTS trip is an excellent opportunity for students to bond outside their regular school and academy training. Students will have access to the fantastic facilities at Penha Longa Resort and will be participating in the prestigious WAGR tournament – The Atlantic Youth Trophy hosted by Global Junior Golf Tour. This 54-hole individual stroke play event will challenge our students to showcase their skills and determination over three exhilarating days of competition.
