Creating Genuine Connection and Leadership at AWGN's Women's Golf Afternoon at The Brisbane Golf Club.

The Australian Women's Golf Network (AWGN) recently held a remarkable Women's Golf Afternoon at the picturesque Brisbane Golf Club, highlighting the significance of small-scale events in creating meaningful connections among women in the golf community. With a focus on nurturing genuine relationships and inspiring leadership, the gathering exemplified the power of intimate settings in promoting networking and growth.

A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated Ambassador Jamie Shine for hosting this impactful event. Her commitment to connecting women on a deeper level reflects the core values of AWGN and contributes greatly to the growth of our organisation.

The presence of Deb Kember , President of The Brisbane Golf Club, underscored the importance of encouraging more women to pursue leadership positions in golf clubs across the country. Deb shared valuable insights on the club's history and the vital role women play in shaping the industry. The event also showcased the dedication and passion of several AWGN members – successful executive women from various industries who are committed to growing the women's game and inspiring change. These remarkable individuals serve as role models, demonstrating that a genuine passion for the game can significantly impact the industry's future.

While large, competitive golf events have their place in club competitions, the value of smaller gatherings should not be overlooked. These events offer unique opportunities for women in the golf community to connect, share experiences, and support one another in their personal and professional endeavors. By continuing to host events like the Women's Golf Afternoon, AWGN is leading the charge in creating a more inclusive and connected golf community for women.

As we reflect on the event's success, we must ask ourselves, "How can we inspire more young women to work in golf and pursue leadership positions?" Here are some potential solutions:

1. Mentorship programs: Connecting experienced female leaders in golf with aspiring young women can provide guidance, support, and inspiration.
2. Promoting female role models: Showcasing successful women leaders in golf and sharing their stories can inspire the next generation to follow their lead.
3. Educational opportunities: Offering workshops, seminars, and training programs focused on developing leadership skills and golf industry knowledge can equip girls in school and young women with the tools they need to succeed.
4. Scholarships and grants: Providing financial support for young women pursuing golf-related degrees or certifications can encourage more women to enter the field.

Our Women's Golf Afternoon at The Brisbane Golf Club served as a powerful testament to the incredible progress made by women in golf and the importance of supporting and celebrating their achievements. Through the ongoing efforts of organisations like AWGN and the dedication of passionate individuals, we can create a more inclusive and diverse golf community that empowers women to lead and succeed.
