From Club members, to school students, to communities, Golf NT plans on taking golf everywhere showing people that golf is a fun and social sport for all skill levels utilising the skills and games of "MyGolf". All Junior Clinics run by Golf NT will be free of charge, so there is every reason to give it a go. It is even possible to loan modified equipment to make the experience even more memorable.
PGA member Andrew Bridge is working with Golf NT to take golf to a number of smaller and remote communities in the NT. Born in Sydney, Andrew began playing golf at age 12 on the northern beaches at the Monash Golf Club . He finished his apprenticeship with the PGA in 1997 and worked at Sydney Olympic Park teaching at a golf range before moving to Darwin.
The MYGolf Skills Challenge is a framework targeted to boys and girls aged 8 – 16 years to develop and assess their golf skills. The program mantra is designed to develop the six key skills of the game, being:
Rip It - Long Shots
Roll It - Putting
Chip It - Chipping
Fly It - Pitching
Blast It - Bunker Shots
Bend It - Manoeuvring the Ball
These skills are tested across five graded levels in each of three main award categories called: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
