Golf Victoria Elite Program
The vision of the Golf Victoria High Performance Program is to capture as early as possible Victoria’s most talented golfers and give them the best possible opportunities and resources to fully develop their potential on and off the golf course with a view to becoming successful international players.
The major objective is to produce high quality Victorian players to raise the profile of golf in the state of Victoria.
The following state based tiers and programs combine to form the Golf Victoria development pathway and sit underneath the GA Rookie Program at National Level.
Tier 1 VIS Golf Program
Tier 2 Golf Victoria Elite Player Program
Tier 3 Golf Victoria State Development Squads (Under 18)
Tier 4Victorian Regional Academies of Sport Golf Programs
Golf Victoria Elite Player Program
The EPP will enable our HP team to have more contact with the athlete, more focused training opportunities in a squad environment (both in the gym and on the range), and a stronger link with the home coach.
The Elite Player Program (EPP) will consist of a development phase, through our winter months, and a competition phase over the summer.
The EPP provides a training environment and learning opportunities for the athletes. There is not a curriculum (or course of study) as such, rather opportunities within the structure below to learn, benchmark and improve. The personal development workshops encompass broader life skills.
Spring Valley Golf Club and Golf Victoria
