Golf Australia
Golf Australia has the most rounded strategy, with tools that can be used within clubs, counties and associations to support the evolution of the womens golf experience.
From The Golf Australia website:
“In February 2018, Golf Australia launched a strategy to address a fundamental imbalance in the game and draw more women and girls to golf – Vision 2025. The four-pillar strategy aims to significantly increase participation rates, along with improving culture at golf clubs around the country so that our game is opened up to everyone.”
