Wembley Golf Course is thrilled to welcome eight girls into our 2026 Australian Golf Foundation (AGF) Junior Girls Scholarship Program. This national initiative, delivered in partnership with Golf Australia, is designed to \u201clevel the playing field for girls in golf\u201d by inspiring a lifelong passion for the game and strengthening the connection between young girls and their golf clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Under the expert guidance of PGA Professional Claire Elvidge, our 2026 scholarship recipients will have the chance to enhance their skills, build meaningful friendships, and immerse themselves in a program that has already supported more than 4,500 girls nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative aligns closely with Golf Australia\u2019s commitment to growing the game for women and girls by reducing dropout rates and creating a strong pathway for young female golfers. By fostering confidence, connection, and ongoing involvement, the program continues to empower the next generation of girls in golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to supporting our 2026 scholars throughout the year and watching their progress both on and off the course. Congratulations to all recipients!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
