"Tom has been an inspiration in placing my son in to Foothills College in San Francisco. From the time we met he has guided, advised and helped us on the whole process of attending college in America. Tom listens to what both the student and the parents wish to achieve and will offer honest, considerate and realistic advice on the options available and then makes it happen. His exceptional in-depth knowledge combined with his hands on approach has made the whole process easy and painless. I would recommend anyone who is considering going to an American College to do themselves a big favour and contact Tom first, they will not regret it! Thanks Tom."

"College golf is perfect preparation for transition from a good junior to becoming a pro."
Brad Brewer PGA, Co-founder of the Arnold Palmer Golf programme
"It is truly one of the best experiences you can have. Having the opportunity to play a sport you love and study an academic area you are interested in only comes around once. Finding the right match is difficult to do as every college and university is different. Therefore make sure that you are going to be happy where you go, and that you are going to be challenged on the golf course as well as the classroom. Therefore, don't just go to a school because they offer you the best financial package, education is an investment for life."
