However, these are just small steps in a long-term formative process. 

Early achievement in sport is not necessarily a good indicator of success in the future and  the best indicators of future success are psychological characteristics like commitment, resilience, self learning and work ethic. These are traits which we have witnessed our winners and many of the others on the tour developing as they progress on their learning journey.

Winning is important but at the Scottish Junior Golf Tour we believe that success is even more important.

So what is the difference between Success and Winning?

John Wooden, one of the most revered coaches in the history of sports, described success as “peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”

So, not all our juniors can win order of merits in a particular year but if they tried their best, worked hard and stuck in then they too were successful.

At the Tour we aim to provide a rewarding shared experience for all our juniors and their families. Our positive “learning not telling” philosophy and inclusive egalitarian ethos combine to form a truly holistic development environment for all our golfers and their families; so that in the end everybody is successful.
