golfANZ is dedicated to providing bespoke training programs and career planning services to promising junior golfers.
The golfANZ coaches are all senior members of the Australian/New Zealand PGA. We provide world class systematic training.
– The PGA of Australia was established in 1911 and has a long history of over 100 years, second only to the PGA of The UK.
golfANZ has professional spoken Chinese interpreters. On-site interpretation services are available until the player’s English is up to standard.
golfANZ has a logistical support system to organise the players’ daily lives. This allows players to concentrate on their training and studies. There is no need to worry about not adapting to life abroad.
The programme is open to junior golfers who have completed three years of secondary school and have obtained a secondary school diploma. The age requirement is 17 years and above. 8 students will be enrolled in 2023.
