While the rest of the kids go to summer camp or find summer jobs, some 500 of the world’s best young golfers will find themselves in East Lothian, Scotland for the four-day U.S. Kids Golf European Championship.

The event, slated for May 31 to June 2, is overseen by the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation, a nonprofit that teaches golf and sportsmanship to kids around the world. Now in its fourth year, the tournament welcomes junior golfers aged six to 18 from Europe, North America, Australia, and the Far East.

The games will take place on five historic courses: the Longniddry Golf Club, Luffness New Golf Club, Gullane No. 2 and No. 3, and Craigielaw Golf Club. Each one will be adjusted to fit different age groups, with younger golfers playing shorter holes. The whole course is designed so that the same number of strokes will bring players to the greens as in the pro PGA tour.

U.S. Kids Golf founder and president Dan Van Horn said that the tournament has grown consistently since its launch in 2008, and is now one of the highlights of the year in junior golf. He is confident that many of the participants will not only grow up more competent, but even join the ranks of Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwoods in the future.

He added that East Lothian is a great location for the tournament, as the historic courses present a fair challenge to all players. It offers a superb standard of play and ensures more than a few exciting matches between young competitors, he said.

The tournament is divided into different age groups, with the top finishers from each group going on to compete for the Van Horne Cup. The final match will be a showpiece event, designed after the world-famous Ryder Cup, and will be held on the Gullane No. 1 course.

The winner will also be automatically invited to the U.S. Kids Golf World Championships, which will be held this August in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

Gullane Golf Courses head professional Alasdair Good, who is also coordinating the European Championships, said that the tournament not only offers a peek into the world’s future golf champions, but also brings Scotland into the spotlight as a world-class golf destination.

The U.S. Kids Golf Foundation is the nonprofit arm of U.S. Kids Golf, a pioneer in designing golf equipment specifically for young playersw. It opened its first tournament in 2000 and now organizes over 400 events every year.
