“We could not be happier to partner with a company as great as Athlone Golf & Sports,” Said CJGA Manager of Tour Operations Ryan Shaw. “Now that pandemic travel restrictions have lifted, there is no better time to embark on a golf travel trip with friends or family, and Athlone Golf & Sports is the best organization to make sure that the trip goes beyond the traditional hotel, golf and car package.”

“I’m really pleased that Athlone and the CJGA have formed this partnership” stated Wayne Morden, President of Athlone Golf & Sports. “I have fond memories playing my junior days at Craigowan in Woodstock, Ontario and competing in Tyson Tour events throughout southwestern Ontario in the 1970’s. I welcome the opportunity to work with the parents, juniors, CJGA members and partners providing them with memorable custom golf tours whether it is to the UK and Ireland, other parts of Europe, the U.S., within Canada or beyond. I look forward to attending CJGA events to meet people personally.”
