General Benchmarks

Golf NSW High Performance Program Selection

The components used to select players for the Golf NSW High Performance Program (HPP) are identified below:

The following are recommended benchmarks set by Golf Australia and Golf NSW to guide the selection of players into the State HPP.

Golf NSW will use these benchmarks as a guide only and the final decision on selection will be made by the appropriate High Performance Staff and committees.

The reason for this decision is that some players that reach these benchmarks may have been exposed to Golf NSW development programs previously and have not shown the commitment, desire or attitude required to reach an elite level; therefore it may be recommended that those players not be selected into the HPP.
