Women & Girls

Golf Australia is committed to reshaping the golfing culture, shifting perceptions and enhancing diversity.

Golf is a game for life – for everyone and it is a collective obligation that we provide safe environments for women and girls to feel valued, empowered and a place where they belong.

Our mission is to have more Australians playing more golf – in all its forms. Golf Australia, in partnership with key stakeholders, will continue to focus on developing a Vision for Women and Girls in Golf and aligning a plan to the Australian Golf Strategy.

A guiding principle in our Australian Golf Strategy is that golf is inclusive, and anyone can partake in the game.

Two programs that currently support this mission are the R&A Women in Golf Charter and the Australian Golf Foundation Junior Girls Scholarship Program.

The R&A Women in Golf Charter

We are proud not only to have signed the R&A Women in Golf Charter but to have already achieved the following:

• Greater gender diversity at Board level

• Increased representation of women at senior management level

• Increased focus on Women and Girls in Golf through a dedicated workforce that targets key initiatives that supports our targets

AGF Junior Girls Scholarship Program

We have an exciting opportunity through the Junior Girls Scholarship Program to correct the under-representation of girls and women in Australian Golf.

The AGF Junior Girls Scholarship is a club-based program designed to foster the development of girls aged 9 to 16 who have a passion for golf. Over the course of 24 weeks, participants will engage in lessons aimed at enhancing their skills and building lasting friendships to support their ongoing golfing journey.
