Borgatti leads clinics for players of all skill levels, helping aspiring candidates pass the PGA Player Ability Test.

About Crystal
Crystal debuted 30 years ago with a big splash. It was one of the most elegant cruise lines of its time and maintained the reputation for years. That was until it fell prey to bad management and went bankrupt two years ago. It was saved and resuscitated by Abercrombie and Kent, which bought it during a bankruptcy sale.
Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony are sailing again under the A&K label. They are all spruced up with larger, updated suites with artisanal finishes, new cutting-edge wellness offerings, upgraded entertainment and complimentary world-class dining that includes the return of UMI UMA - the only dining experience by Michelin-star master chef Nobu Matsuhisa at sea. Bottom line: Passengers experience a tradition of unrivaled service and commitment to sophistication and elegance at every touchpoint.
