The program will be spearheaded by PKBGT alumna and GGA board member, Emilia Migliaccio Doran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fore Her Success<\/em> aims to connect high-level junior girls golfers with experienced mentors who will provide guidance on both golf and personal development. Through one-on-one mentorship, career insights, and leadership training, the program will cultivate confidence and ambition among participants, reinforcing the core mission of PKBGT and GGA to foster growth and opportunity for junior girls in golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI strongly believe in the value of mentorship in creating successful young leaders,\u201d said Emilia Doran. \u201cGolf is a complicated sport where you\u2019re learning every day, so having a mentor who has walked in their shoes, I believe, is super impactful for the players\u2019 success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mentorship program will be open to select PKBGT members in a pilot series this spring, then a full launch for all PKBGT members in the fall of 2025. Mentors will include accomplished PKBGT alumnae, collegiate players, and professionals, offering mentees valuable perspectives on collegiate recruitment, competitive play, career paths in the golf industry, and life beyond the course. These initial mentors include: Emilia Doran, Rachel Kuehn, Gina Lee, Macy Pate, Amanda Sambach, and Madison Moosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy biggest goal for this mentorship program is to give these girls the opportunity to learn from successful young women relatively close to their age who have walked a similar path in golf,\u201d said Emilia Doran. \u201cI want these girls to use their mentors as a sounding board for goal setting, recruiting tips, the mental side of golf, the college experience, and even networking in golf. The bonus to this program is the ability to forge special connections between the young PKB players and the women that came before them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the nation\u2019s largest girls-only golf tour, we recognize the importance of fostering a supportive network for our players,\u201d said Mike Parker, Tour Director of PKBGT and Executive Director of GGA. \u201c<em>Fore Her Success<\/em> will be a game-changer, providing invaluable guidance to aspiring junior girls golfers as they navigate their athletic and professional journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Girls Golf of America, a nonprofit dedicated to creating equity of opportunities for girls in competitive golf, will play an integral role in supporting the program\u2019s outreach and curriculum. \u201cWe are thrilled to have board member Emilia Doran partner on this initiative to provide girls with mentorship opportunities that will help them succeed both on and off the course,\u201d said Christian \u2018CJ\u2019 Johnston, Development Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited to kick off this mentorship program and see its impact, not only on the girls\u2019 success in golf, but also the relationships developed and their growth as a person as they move towards college,\u201d said Emilia Doran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is set to launch this month with a pilot series of selected PKBGT members, and then applications opening for both mentors and mentees in the fall of 2025.
