Hi, my name is Amelia Whinney and I am an aspiring professional golfer from South Australia. I am a member of the Golf Australia – South Australia High Performance Program as a Tier 3 athlete and currently hold an Individual Athlete Scholarship through the South Australian Institute of Sport. I am studying a Bachelor of Sport, Health and Physical Activity at Flinders University and have recently completed the Next Level Elite Mentoring Program.

Later this year I plan to travel to Europe to compete in international tournaments. These events will give me an insight into what life as a professional golfer is like, along with allowing me to gain other experiences that will help my growing career.
