Investing in the Future: Junior Golf Academy Leading the Way

With arguably the strongest junior membership in the North Coast, Ballina Golf & Sports Club is proudly investing in the future of the game, strengthening its commitment to junior development.

As part of this commitment, the club has invited a selected group of its most talented junior golfers to take part in an enhanced development program, the Junior Golf Academy. This invitation-only initiative provides elite-level coaching and game development under the guidance of our own PGA Professional, Brenton Parrish. The program focuses on advanced skill refinement, course management, mental preparation and competition readiness—giving these juniors the tools they need to progress to the next level of the game while proudly representing Ballina Golf & Sports Club.

The Junior Golf Academy also plays a vital role in strengthening the club community. Families are encouraged to be involved, friendships are formed early, and juniors develop a genuine sense of belonging to Ballina Golf & Sports Club. Many of our current junior members are already setting their sights on representing the club well into the future.
