Introduction

The main objective of the Canterbury Golf Talent Development Programme (TDP) is to deliver the Canterbury regional component of Golf New Zealand’s (Golf NZ) National Talent Development programme, Phase 1 “District Lead, Golf NZ supported, Talent Development.” This sits within the wider Canterbury Golf Young People in Golf Plan.

While High Performance, succeeding at the professional level of play, is the face of participation, it is Talent Development that bridges the gap from Community Sport to High Performance and lays the foundation for future success. The Golf NZ Talent Development Programme has four key phases. It is these phases, and the many elements within each phase, that supports the talent identification, verification and development of New Zealand’s most promising young golfers as they move along the performance pathway. This Canterbury Golf TDP sits within phase 1 of the national strategy and its intention is to bring together our best emerging young players to provide holistic talent development support to prepare them and to move them towards phase 2 and beyond within the national framework.

The purpose of this form is for players who are wanting to be a part of this TDP programme for the 2024/25 cycle to register their interest for consideration. Prior to completing this Expression of Interest (EOI) form we strongly recommend players read the Canterbury Golf TDP strategy in full. You can access this by clicking - HERE.

EOI are due by the 31st of May, 2024.
