Supported by PGA Professional Reece McRae, CEO Geoff Kuehner and President Deb Kember, the team tested the theory that<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">city clubs have a role to play in growing the game in regional areas.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">The feedback was resoundingly positive.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">Dalby GC attracted almost 50 enthusiastic juniors to the clinics, many who had not attended the Club weekly hour with the part<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">&#8211;<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">time professional Heath Garvey followed by two holes on the course supervised by parents.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">For example, Blake delayed the family holiday at the Gold Coast so that he could attend.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">Tucker and Riley stepped <\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">in<\/span><span class=\"xs1\"> from the family paddock \/ driving range to learn grip, stance and swing fundamentals. Frank and Annabel came from Chinchilla an hour away, keen to learn how to play so they could go out on the course with Dad.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">A special treat for members and the juniors was seeing former Dalby junior champion, now touring PGA professional, Lawry Flynn drive<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">320m on the range and answer some questions about his career.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">At Kingaroy Golf Club we teamed up with the Junior Coordinator and Management Committee member Jane Franklin. Her team of 11 Community Instructors run an engaging program with 45 juniors, designed to inspire and support the budding golfers. Take 14-year-old EJ for instance, he is saving up for a cylinder mower to mow the green he is developing on his parents farm. He\u2019s now super keen to play at BGC one day!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">To Jane Franklin, visible enthusiasm amongst the juniors was exciting to witness.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">\u201cThe tips and pointers that the PGA Professionals provided are helpful for us Community Instructors well as the juniors.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">I was very proud of the way the juniors focussed intently on learning more about how to play golf well. We are all learning more about golf together\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">Kingaroy Golf Club President Christopher Sarquis predicted a beneficial impact for the time invested by the BGC PGA teaching team. \u201cRegional Clubs juggle minimal resources and it can become difficult to maintain a junior program. With assistance from Clubs like BGC we can make a monumental difference for every junior and the future of our Club\u201d.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xp1\">Collaboration between city and regional clubs fosters relationships that can benefit both parties. <span class=\"xs1\">Donating time and resources to foster juniors interest and expertise in golf is always rewarding. Making connections with aspiring golfers and their families potentially leads to a talent pipeline to membership at your club. Ultimately, building relationships between Clubs becomes a source of support, advice and opportunity only limited by imagination.<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"xp1\"><span class=\"xs1\">The<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">PGA Teaching Team from The Brisbane Golf Club &#8211; Australian PGA Professional<\/span><span class=\"xapple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"xs1\">of the Year 2022 Joe Janison; Australian PGA Game Development Coach of the Year 23-24 &amp; Karrie Webb Coaching Scholarship 2025 Asha Flynn recently visited Dalby and Kingaroy Golf&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"read_more_link \" href=\"https:\/\/brisbane.miclub.com.au\/cms\/2025\/04\/bgc-extends-its-junior-program-out-west\/\"> Read More&nbsp;&raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1395,"featured_media":25261,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BGC Extends its Junior Program Out West - The Brisbane Golf Club<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BGC Extends its Junior Program Out West - The Brisbane Golf Club\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The\u00a0PGA Teaching Team from The Brisbane Golf Club &#8211; Australian PGA Professional\u00a0of the Year 2022 Joe Janison; Australian PGA Game Development Coach of the Year 23-24 &amp; Karrie Webb Coaching Scholarship 2025 Asha Flynn recently visited Dalby and Kingaroy Golf...
