The participants committed to continuing playing socially and several are exploring membership options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"is-visible\">Promotion of the sessions was key to the success of the initiative. Megan worked with Darkan club secretary Estelle Buller to formulate a media and advertising campaign with information shared on social media channels as well as community noticeboards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"is-visible\">Megan also provided invaluable assistance in registering the club as a Get Into Golf Centre, and in assisting with the application for WA Golf Foundation funding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-767 \" src=\"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WAGF-website-2023-8.png\" alt=\"WA Golf Foundation Darkan\" width=\"727\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WAGF-website-2023-8.png 820w, https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WAGF-website-2023-8-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WAGF-website-2023-8-120x73.png 120w, https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WAGF-website-2023-8-768x468.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darkan Golf Club staged its first \u2018Get Into Golf\u2019 coaching sessions for women in June \u2013 defying expectations in the process. <a href=\"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/2023\/07\/darkan-defies-expectations-with-successful-get-into-golf-pilot\/\" class=\"read_more_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wagf"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=783"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":789,"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783\/revisions\/789"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagf.org.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
