WHAT IS MYGOLF? Golf Australia and the PGA of Australia have formed a historic joint venture to create the MyGolf program. MyGolf is the national junior introductory program to develop and promote participation in golf. Through our MyGolf Schools and Sporting Schools programs, we aim to introduce children to the game of golf through fun, engaging and challenging games that are easily adapted for a range of age groups and skill levels. MYGOLF SCHOOLS PROGRAM The MyGolf Schools program is a teacher delivered, five-session in school program designed to introduce students to the basic skills of golf. The program has been aligned to the national ACARA curriculum and lesson plans have been designed to ensure specific learning outcomes are met.
