The NSWIS Golf Program aims to develop athletes with a view to enhance opportunities for selection to national teams. The program is also designed to prepare athletes for progression to national team programs and professional golfing careers.
The NSWIS Golf Program targets individual athlete development through squad days and camps. It is a decentralised program. Women's Golf NSW and the NSW Golf Association conduct an effective camps-based underpinning program for under 18 year olds that primarily aims to develop winning teams for the interstate series. It also ensures that a minimum of 90 per cent of NSWIS squad members have been part of the state junior squad. Amateur athletes, 17 years and over, who are state squad level athletes with handicap limits of three (men) and six (women) can apply for a scholarship.
The NSWIS Golf Program was a foundation program when the Institute was established in 1996. Since this time many outstanding players have graduated from the program including players like Nathan Green, Nikki Campbell and Paul Sheehan. The NSWIS Connect - Golf Alumni Program allows NSWIS to reconnect and maintain a relationship with our former scholarship athletes.
