Junior Golf Queensland News
The introduction of children to the game of golf has improved greatly
through the success of the national MYGolf program.
MYGolf provides a program that uses skill challenges and a fun
approach to learning golf including an interactive member website.
However, there are still more challenges to overcome and there is the
need to better retain juniors in our sport once the initial introduction
has concluded.

What is seriously lacking in golf compared to other sports is the
provision and support of a clearly-defined player pathway within all golf
clubs – something that takes kids from learning to playing the game, to
competition play.
At the moment there are some significant gaps in the pathway and that
means the potential loss of interest in golf.

To better retain juniors in golf, it is most important that a sequence of
program progressions is introduced to keep the potential young golf
club member engaged.
One strategy to transition young beginners from clinics to three and sixhole events is just one part of a player pathway that is being considered
by Golf Queensland within a significant project focusing on the
development of improved direction for junior golf in Queensland.
