Devonport Country Club - Junior Girls’ Golf Scholarships

Devonport Country Club is in the fortunate position of being able to offer FREE  junior girls’ golf scholarships. We have obtained funding from The Australian Golf Foundation (AGF) to support six lucky teenage girls to pursue the sport of golf. No previous skill is necessary. 

Scholarships are open to girls aged 9 to 16.   Girls new to golf may also be engaged in this program should they demonstrate a commitment to learning the sport. A willingness to learn a new skill. “This is a terrific opportunity”, said Helen Plaister, DCC Scholarship coordinator. “Not only will girls receive 24 coaching sessions with Alex Hamilton PGA Professional but also a one-year junior club membership that carries playing rights, to ensure girls can participate in club competitions and obtain a handicap”.

The Scholarship program is part of a national campaign to get more girls playing golf. Along with over 160 other golf facilities across Australia, DCC will be working closely with golf’s national body Golf Australia throughout 2024. “All we ask is that applicants display a desire and willingness to learn and therefore  improve golf skills, obtain a handicap, play in club competitions (or at least social play) and engage in any extra-curricular activity that fosters friendships between scholarship holders”. A total of 6 scholarships will be available at DCCfor 2024.
