TEEMATES
Unlocking affordable golf
Subsidising 100,000 rounds of golf
Launched in 2023, TeeMates is Australia’s newest junior golf community, offering an affordable virtual golf membership for kids under 18.
In partnership with Youth on Course, a US-based philanthropic initiative, TeeMates enables young golfers to play at selected courses nationwide for a subsidised rate of $5.
The program also provides opportunities for children to play in events with their friends and obtain a GA handicap.
AGF’s investment in TeeMates is driven by making golf more accessible for all by breaking down financial barriers and increasing diversity to ensure young people especially those from low socio-economic communities have access to golf regardless of cost or circumstance.
Our goal is for 100,000 subsidised rounds to be played annually by girls and boys.
Our goal is for 100,000 rounds to be played annually by girls and boys at
250 Youth on Course facilities.
Every $10,000 raised will enable 2,000 rounds to be provided to children
across the country at a subsidised rate of $5 with a focus on low socio-
economic status areas.

The Muadz siblings story
Adam and Damia Muadz, a brother-sister duo from Adelaide, have found joy and connection through the TeeMates program. Starting their golf journeys at ages 7 and 12, they now enjoy playing different courses, meeting new friends, and spending quality time together. Inspired by their grandfather, seven-year-old Adam began playing golf at five. His enthusiasm soon encouraged 12-year-old Damia to join him, and she hasn’t put down her clubs since. Their father, Rabuan, appreciates how TeeMates combines fun with learning competitiveness.
“It allows the kids to have fun but at the same time teaches them how to be competitive as golfers. It is nice to see how the kids are supporting each other during their golf game and embrace good sportsmanship from an early age.”
