Ashgrove Golf Club presently has over 180 Junior Members out of a total of more than 1200 Members. The average age of an Ashgrove Member is 57 with the majority of members in their 60’s and this continues to increase.

Current Community debate is focusing on Community Organisations providing healthy, productive, sociable and fun extracurricular activities for all children and teenagers irrespective of theirs or their families financial position.

To ensure the long-term viability of Ashgrove Golf Club and the Game of Golf, and to make a positive contribution to the future of children and teenagers in our Community, the Board and Management have decided to make Junior Membership a priority of the Club. This emphasis has begun with the Development of the Junior Development Program.

The Club will include Junior Clinics as a complimentary part of Junior Membership and pay Gareth Small, Head Professional of Ashgrove Golf Club and his two Trainee Professionals to provide appropriate technical instruction. These Clinics are to occur once a month and will be strategically planned over a 12 month period to develop a range of skills and set a number of goals for each Junior. For many Juniors this will be the only way that they are able to receive Professional Tuition and will be instrumental to their development to ensure that they practice the "Right" things.

Junior’s who meet both of the following Criteria will be able to play in the Saturday, Thursday & Sunday Open Member’s 18 Hole Competitions. For a player to do so they must satisfy:

• Handicap requirement - a Player must attain an AGU Handicap of less than 27 and display reasonable proficiency to play to that Handicap

• Rules & Etiquette - a player must show an excellent understanding of the Rules of Golf, Scoring in Competitions, and Etiquette and the Manner in which the Game is to be played.
