Welcome
Jackie Hellard and Penny Baziuk share a love for golf and both have a passion for helping others discover and enjoy the game. Girls on the Green began with Penny and Jackie playing The Ridge Course at Cordova Bay in the fall of 2024 with a few junior girls. In a short period of time the group has grown to include more keen junior girls and a network of elite women amateurs and golf professionals. Girls on the Green also now has women leaders from other industries, such as medicine, engineering, entrepreneurship, come out to play and connect with the juniors with aspirations in other areas.
With the growth of the group and through much appreciated support of the local golf clubs, Girls on the Green playing opportunities continue to evolve and expand. We continue to play The Ridge at Cordova Bay every other Saturday but are scheduled to play Victoria Golf Club, Uplands and Gorge Vale monthly, and will visit Cedar Hill, Highland Pacific, Cordova Bay and Royal Colwood and hopefully other course throughout the season.
We aim to grow the game of golf and encourage a culture of camaraderie and mentorship, where supporting one another leads to collective success. We embrace diversity and inclusivity, welcoming experienced junior girls aged 12-18 from all backgrounds.
