Growing MyGolf to reach 50,000 more children
MyGolf is Australia’s national junior introductory program delivered at schools and golf facilities by PGA Professionals and accredited Community Instructors that is engaging over 100,000 girls and boys to learn the skills of golf in a fun and engaging environment.
​
Administered by Golf Australia with the support of the PGA of Australia, the core aim of the program is to provide children with a positive first experience to golf, which increases their likelihood to develop a love for the game and become golfers for life.
​
With your help, AGF can expand MyGolf even further to reach 50,000 more children and make golf more accessible through targeting children in most need of support.
Additional funding will enable more community partnerships to be established, provide greater access to equipment and increase the number of trained instructors and programs being run and subsidised for children who face disadvantage.

Natascha Tennent’s story
Natascha Tennent, who plays at Wynnum Golf Club in Brisbane, has represented Queensland and Australia at the Special Olympics. Diagnosed with autism, Tourette syndrome, and ligamentous laxity, her golf journey is remarkable. Despite initial skepticism from her parents about tackling a precision sport like golf, Natascha started attending MyGolf clinics at age 11 and quickly fell in love with the sport. After attending multiple MyGolf clinics, today she is a dedicated golfer, continuing to lower her handicap and inspire others with her determination and passion. Natascha took her passion to the Special Olympics World Games in 2023 and brought home a gold medal.
“I just love being outdoors and it makes me relax. My handicap has come down and I’m determined to get to single figures. Playing All Abilities championships and improving my ranking has inspired me to work hard on my game and be my best.”
