This year’s group of young golfers have now completed their Junior Golf Scholarships at Kilmore Golf Club, KGC.
Presented with certificates at a special award presentation on December 9, the girls will continue to be full junior members of the KGC through to March 2024 and will be encouraged to further enjoy their golf.
KGC members will develop opportunities for the young golfers and encourage other junior players at the club by organising small group golf sessions during the term and encouraging competitive play in club competitions during school holidays.
KGC is now recruiting for its 2024 program, with six scholarships from the Australian Golf Foundation available to girls aged nine to 16 years to pursue playing golf.
President Bea Lay encouraged keen young golfers to get involved.
“This is a terrific opportunity for young girls to improve their golf skills or try golf for the first time,” she said.
Scholarship recipients receive 24 coaching sessions with a qualified professional, a one-year junior membership at KGC and a shirt and cap designating their scholarship status.
The 2024 coaching sessions will be on Saturdays, during term only.
Students will be encouraged to play in KGC events and competitions as well as gain a handicap.
“Experience shows that through this program, participants develop friendships with other scholarship members and with students who graduated in previous years,” Ms Lay said.
“All we ask is that applicants show a desire to develop their golfing skills and a willingness to engage in the scholarship group’s activities.”
