It’s time to vote for the winner of the 2023 Visionary of the Year.

The award, which honours outstanding initiatives within the golf community that show leadership towards gender equality while inspiring, educating, and empowering others to follow.

The 2023 winner will be announced March after the public vote.

There were eight monthly nominations for the 2023 award, and they have now been filtered to three finalists.

“Some of the work that is being done in the gender equity space at golf clubs and facilities in Australia is truly amazing,” said Megan Carr, Acting Head of Clubs and Facilities, Golf Australia.

“They are providing fabulous opportunities for women and girls to participate and lead in our sport.

“The concept of Visionary of the Year is not only to reward those pieces of work, but also to help inspire others in the industry to follow.

“We think that over the four years of the award, it has proven to be a valuable tool in our quest to engage with women and girls at a genuine level.”
