Junior Golf Program
Glenelg Golf Club places great importance on Junior Golf and this is reflected in the Club's active Junior Development Program. The program provides coaching, development and encouragement in all areas of the game and membership.
Junior Development - Part of every Junior Membership
We’re proud of our investment in Junior Golf! As a Club, we want to see all juniors develop to their full potential and harness their natural talent.
Our expert coaches conduct the Junior Development Program and have a keen eye, recognising juniors will play at their own level. They ensure that you are given the tuition you require as a junior to nurture your individual development.
Pro Shop staff coordinate the program in-conjunction with the Junior Development sub-committee. All Pro Shop staff are available to Junior members for coaching and advice, with costs covered by funding from the Glenelg Golf Club Foundation.
The development of good golfers is an aim of the program, however there is also a very strong belief that playing Junior Golf should be a fun and enjoyable pastime. The program is in place to encourage all Juniors, regardless of their ability, to learn, enjoy and respect all that Golf Club membership has to offer at Glenelg, in a safe, supervised and healthy environment.

Coaching Clinics
Coaching Clinics are held on a regular basis, including Sunday mornings and during school holidays. Individual lessons are also available. To help the development of organisational skills each junior is responsible for managing their own time.
For select juniors showing signs of rapid development, Elite Level Coaching can be arranged to take their game to the highest level. If this is you, then you are at the right Club. We understand you and will tailor the best program to suit your development.
Personalised coaching is available leading up to and during Pennant and McMillan Shield seasons for those selected in each squad.
Clinics are scheduled for the first and third Sundays of each month, from 8:30am to 9.30am. Participants must be of school age. Clinics will be cancelled if the weather forecast for the day is 36 degrees or above.
Free coaching clinics for Glenelg Junior Members are held during the School Holidays.
These clinics are aimed at all levels of golfers, from beginners through to the more advanced players. However, we encourage the more advanced players to take advantage of the Individual and Elite Level Coaching offered by the Club.
Any Junior Members interested in attending these FREE clinics are encouraged to contact the Pro Shop on (08) 8295 5274 to book in and to find out more information.
Elite Level Coaching
The Glenelg Golf Club is committed to providing expert tuition and guidance to junior members that attain a certain level or proficiency and skill. Under the guidance of the Club's resident PGA Professionals, tuition is available to those junior's who are selected to represent the Club in official competitions such as junior Pennant and McMillan Shield.
Other juniors on the fringe of being selected in these representative teams may also be offered expert tuition, to prepare them for when they eventually are selected to compete in these competitions.
