About AGG
We are a next-generation girls’ golf movement that goes beyond instruction to build identity, confidence, and competitive pathways.
American Golf Girl (AGG) is a community-focused golf initiative dedicated to empowering girls and young women through the game.
Through mentorship, competition, and community engagement, AGG provides young female athletes with opportunities to build their skills and confidence. These athletes also form lasting connections within the game. The organization believes golf offers more than athletic development—it helps young women gain leadership, resilience, and a strong sense of identity both on and off the course.
Unlike other national programs, AGG focuses on local partnerships and community engagement. It creates accessible pathways for girls to join the sport and grow within their own communities.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to inspire and support the next generation of female golfers. We provide accessible pathways, foster local partnerships, and build a strong identity for women’s golf. We aim to ensure every girl can participate, belong, and lead through golf.
AGG makes sure young women entering the sport have the support, visibility, and opportunities they deserve. It helps them develop not just as athletes but as leaders within their communities.
Building Opportunities Through Community
American Golf Girl believes the future of women’s golf is stronger when communities invest in young athletes. AGG uses events and partnerships with schools, clubs, and community groups to offer girls meaningful chances to engage with the game and build confidence in their abilities.
By connecting junior players with experienced golfers, mentors, and organizations, AGG builds an environment where young women can thrive. They grow both competitively and personally.
LEADERSHIP
American Golf Girl is led by passionate leaders who are committed to empowering the next generation of female golfers. Each brings expertise in golf, community engagement, and organizational leadership. They work to ensure AGG programs create real opportunities for young women.
