GIRLS CLUB STAGE 2

What is Girls Club Stage 2?

Stage 2 is about turning regular participants into confident golfers who stay in the sport and see a future in it.

 

Stage 2 focuses on helping girls move from:

“I take part in sessions” → “I am a golfer and part of this club”

 

It builds:

  • Confidence on the course
  • A sense of identity as a golfer
  • Stronger skills and independence
  • Social connections that keep them coming back
 
Who it’s for
  • Girls who attend regularly
  • Girls with some on-course experience
  • Girls who like golf but aren’t yet fully committed long-term
 

Focus: 

  • Confidence 
  • Competence 
  • Identity 
  • Connection 
  • Progression 
  •  
What makes it different from Stage 1
  • Less “supported introduction” and more independent play
  • More emphasis on golf experiences 
  • Focus shifts from joining in → staying and progressing
