Girl's Junior Framework

GET INtO GOLF: GIRLS

What is Girls' Junior Framework

A Funded Pathway for girls to ENTER, STAY, & THRIVE in golf.

The Girls Junior Framework sets out a clear, connected pathway to support golf clubs to attract, retain, and develop girls in ways that reflect how they experience sport in real life.

The framework moves away from short-term, activity-led delivery and instead focuses on creating environments where girls feel they belong and want to stay involved.

Scottish Golf has committed to grow female club membership to 38,000 by 2035.
Within the ten-year period a sustained focus on junior programmes and pathways will be key to delivering this – and other associated targets – within the Women and Girls strategy.
