by Golf Australia
Since its inception, over 3,000 girls have had the opportunity to enhance their golf skills, build lasting friendships, and grow both personally and physically through the AGF Junior Girls Scholarship Program.
2024 saw record numbers with 1,190 girls participating in the scholarship program from 153 clubs across Australia. It also saw the launch of the Junior Girls Scholarship Alumni Program, creating opportunities for our graduates to further their education, network and reconnect with the events held in each state.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are eager to extend these opportunities to a greater number of young and eager golfers. Our goal is to cultivate the next generation of female golfers, helping them develop their skills and confidence, while fostering a vibrant junior golf community at your club.
Join Us in 2025: We invite clubs to apply and become a part of this enriching program. Let’s work together to nurture and empower junior girls in their golfing journey!
