The Pump Golf program has been designed to complement the activities of the other golfing bodies around Australia who are currently either administering or conducting junior golf programs.
It is the intention of the PGA, through Pump Golf, to continue to forge strong working relationships with the state based Junior Foundations and national and state amateur administrations to ensure all school, club and junior tournament activities are cross referenced and operating in a co-operative environment to support the overall aim of increasing the number of juniors playing golf.
