ROYAL HOBART GOLF CLUB INC. JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM for 2026

The Royal Hobart Golf Club Inc. (“the Club”) is delighted to present the Royal Hobart Golf Club Junior Scholarship Program for 2026.  Due to the foresight and generosity of the Club’s members this opportunity is possible.

AIM OF THE PROGRAM

The Club’s Strategic Plan for 2022-2026 encourages the Club to offer a range of participation options for juniors and young adults.  The Club has also committed to keeping our “offering” fresh and moving with the times – be innovative!  The opportunity to offer a Junior Scholarship program across all genders and abilities is seen by the Club as an important step to being an integral part of our community and having an intergenerational focus to ensure that the Club not only prospers into the future but provides opportunities and enjoyment for generations to follow.

Under the tutelage and guidance of a PGA Professional, preferably the Club’s PGA Professional, along with support of the Club membership, scholarship holders will have the opportunity to:

• Advance their golf skills through ongoing coaching;
• Use the Club’s practice facilities (including on course practice outside competition times);
• Reduce their handicap;
• Play in Club competitions;
• Compete intrastate or interstate in junior golfing tournaments; and
• Form lifelong golfing friendships with other golfers and members.

PROGRAM OUTLINE

1. Scholarship recipients will work with one of the Club’s PGA Professionals to develop a program of tuition, practice and tournament play which aligns with the study and family commitments of the scholarship recipient.*

2. Scholarship recipients will work with one of the Club’s PGA Professionals who will assess the equipment needs of the scholarship recipient.*
