What is Golf Australia trying to become?<\/a><\/p>\nGolf Australia will also benefit from increased support through the Play Well strategy, which will help expand participation programs such as MyGolf and Get Into Golf and create more opportunities for Australians to discover and stay involved in golf.<\/p>\n
Golf Australia chief executive James Sutherland said the combined support through Play Well and Win Well represented a significant boost for Australian golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an exciting time for golf in Australia. The support through both Play Well and Win Well allows us to take a whole-of-sport approach \u2013 supporting people to start playing, continue playing and, for those who reach the elite level, compete on the world stage,\u201d Sutherland said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGolf is a game for life and this funding will help us to continue building a stronger, more inclusive sport that has such a huge impact on the lifestyle of people of all ages.\u00a0We thank the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Institute of Sport for their ongoing partnership and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Win Well investment will support the ongoing work of Golf Australia\u2019s High Performance Program, including athlete preparation, coaching, sports science, medical support and performance pathways designed to maximise success on the international stage.<\/p>\n
Golf Australia\u2019s general manager of high performance, Brad James, said continued investment was critical to providing the country\u2019s best golfers with the support required to perform consistently at major events around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuccess in high performance sport requires long-term planning and investment in athletes, coaches and support staff,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis announcement provides the stability needed to continue strengthening our programs and ensuring Australian golfers have access to world-class support as they pursue Olympic selection and success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Golf Australia is one of 58 sporting organisations that will receive Play Well funding to help create safe, welcoming, inclusive and fun sporting environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Golf Australia has welcomed a significant investment from the Australian Government that will strengthen the future of golf…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":754362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,361416,755,122462,182916,85,361417],"class_list":["post-754361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brad-james","tag-golf","tag-golf-australia","tag-james-sutherland","tag-sports","tag-win-well-and-play-well"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=754361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/754362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=754361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=754361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=754361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
