The scholarships are open to girls aged 10 to 16, and while the program's primary aim is to retain players by giving girls a shared golf experience, girls new to golf may also be engaged in this program should they demonstrate a commitment to learning the sport.

Head Professional of Cowra Golf Club, Tom Perfect, said this is a terrific opportunity for Cowra's female junior golfers.

"Not only will girls receive 24 coaching sessions with me, but also a one-year junior club membership that carries playing rights, to ensure girls can participate in club competitions and obtain a handicap," Mr Perfect said.

The scholarship program is part of a national pilot that will run throughout 2021, with Cowra Golf Club working closely with golf's national body Golf Australia.

"All we ask is that applicants display a desire and willingness to improve their golf skills," Mr Perfect said.

"Obtain a handicap, play in club competitions (or at least social play) and engage in any extra-curricular activity that fosters friendships between scholarship holders."

A total of five scholarships will be available for 2021.
