“It’s a great chance to celebrate their achievements over the last three years and to welcome them to the fold as Full Vocational Members,” Weir said.

“They have obviously navigated a challenging time throughout their Associateship with COVID, so it is wonderful that we can honour them tonight as they move into the industry as PGA Professionals.”

There were fourteen graduates on Friday night, including 2022 National PGA Associate of the Year, Mitchell Smith.

Additionally, the group included Zoe Maxwell, who competed at the 2023 Vic Open, as well as Jade Longstaff who completed the entirety of her Membership Pathway Program from Darwin.
