We are extremely excited to announce that Windaroo Lakes Golf Club has been approved as an official R&A Women in Golf Charter Signatory.
This charter is in line with Golf Australia's Women and Girls' Engagement Plan, which aims to inspire and encourage women and girls to participate in golf, create a welcoming environment, and empower them to achieve their goals.
We are proud to be one of the first clubs in Queensland to receive this approval, and extend our heartfelt appreciation to our members and community for fostering a supportive environment for everyone.
We would like to give special recognition to our Women's Coordinator, Janine Barney whose Golf Fore Women program has been at the forefront of promoting women's golf. Her passion and innovation have led to record numbers of women taking up the sport at Windaroo Lakes, which we are sure has been noticed by many at the club and in the wider industry.
The Women and Girls' Engagement Plan
The Women and Girls’ Engagement Plan is playing a critical role in increasing leadership & participation in golf in Australia through five key areas of the game, that align with Australian Golf’s National Strategy:
- Telling our story better
- Attracting new Golfers
- Increasing our Core
- Attracting New Fans and Growing Revenue
- Working together
Windaroo Lakes Golf Club acknowledges the important role community golf clubs will play in transforming our sport into one that is highly engaging, accessible, and fully inclusive for women and girls. We are committed to supporting this initiative and driving the growth of golf in our community.
Windaroo Lakes Golf Club officially supports Golf Australia’s Women and Girls’ Engagement Plan and commits to participating in national initiatives designed to increase the engagement of women and girls in golf.
