<\/p>\nEastlake Golf Club is proud to announce that it has recently become a signatory of the R&A’s Women in Golf Charter.<\/p>\n
The Charter was developed by the R&A, to create a more inclusive culture for women and girls in golf and is supported by the Australian PGA, WPGA and Golf Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For Eastlake Golf Club, one of Sydney’s few gender-neutral memberships, signing up to the Charter demonstrates the Club’s on-going commitment to encourage and engage female golfers in both a playing and leadership capacity.<\/p>\n
The Club already offers regular female and junior coaching programs, with many of the Club’s annual trophy events already open to both male and female members. The Club’s membership options are open to both male and female members, allowing them to select a membership model that suits their lifestyle and golfing preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the future, the Club will look to further engage women through a governance review, further growth of the female membership and by actively encouraging the Club’s female members to stand for the Board and other leadership positions within the Club.<\/p>\n
The Board is excited at becoming a signatory of the Women in Golf Charter and sees this commitment as a logical step in realizing the goals and objectives set forth in the Club’s Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n
