How does this sound as an idea..

Complete my High School education in a HS in the US, giving the coaches of the different colleges the chance to see my ability, rather than completing my education over here?

I'm looking at one school in particular, down in Texas. I'd like to check it and (maybe) some others out. (Can High Schools pay for my travel costs to get there, or does this not count as an 'official visit'?)

I don't believe high schools can pay for your visit.

As mentioned before more important in the U.S. than high school golf is competing in the AJGA tournaments and Scratch Amateur tournaments.

The school gets to about 10 tournaments a year, 5 of which are 'away'.

Scott,

I've been talking with a person that's affiliated with the school, as he suggested the idea to me in the first place. Next stage is to talk to the golf coach, and see what he thinks.

Good idea about playing some tournaments while over there, I'll look into it.
