20 golf high performance P Total investment 201415 1761600 high performance 1010000 participation 501600 other 250000 ASC funding as a percentage of total income 13 Golf Australia has been rated as performing. While Australias Winning Edge athletes failed to win a major in 2014 there are positive signs that indicate they are on track for Rio 2016 targets. Unlike other individual sports golf athletes ranked in the top 50 world rankings are more than capable of winning PGA events and major tournaments. In 2014 Australians achieved one podium four 48 finishes and five 916 finishes at the majors on top of Jason Day John Senden Matthew Jones Steve Bowditch and Adam Scott winning events on the US PGA Tour. Karrie Webb also enjoyed success on the LPGA Tour. Australia currently has two male golfers in the top 10 world rankings and four in the top 50. While Karrie Webb is currently the lone female in the top 10 there are good indications that both Minjee Lee and Su Oh will climb the rankings in 2015 after recently turning professional. The state-based high performance programs are aligned with the national program ensuring quality daily training environments and service support for all identified athletes. The pathway continues to provide high-quality athletes with strong skill sets to enable them to achieve in the professional ranks. governance When benchmarked against Australias Winning Edge sports Golf Australia is performing well against the ASCs mandatory sports governance principles. Golf Australia is investigating a new model of management and governance structure to be adopted across the sport to further improve its performance. Golf Australia now only requires small changes to its governance to exceed the benchmark standard. 2014 benchmark event championship events medal target 1 to 2 actual gold 0 silver 1 bronze 0 total 1 gymnastics high performance P Total investment 201415 3418971 high performance 2372971 participation 816000 other 230000 ASC funding as a percentage of total income 46 Gymnastics Australia has been rated as progressing. At the 2014 Commonwealth Games gymnastics fell well short of its medal targets winning four medals and no gold. However at the world championships the womens artistic gymnastics team placed seventh and Larrissa Miller came sixth in the floor exercise. These results suggest there is some potential for medals in Rio. A challenge for Gymnastics Australias national high performance program has been the varied level of influence it has on state-based high performance programs. Consequently Gymnastics Australia is implementing significant changes to the structure of its womens and mens artistic gymnastics national programs which will focus more resources on a smaller number of high performance centres. This concentration and alignment of resources is expected to significantly improve the levels of accountability in the targeted centres improve the collaboration between national and state technical staff and increase the performance support provided to targeted gymnasts. governance Gymnastics Australia is performing well in adopting the ASCs mandatory sports governance principles. A new chair was elected in May 2014 and the organisation needs to conduct some work in chair succession planning. Gymnastics Australias disclosure of executive salaries and associated expenses remains an area for improvement. The ASC is currently conducting board evaluations on the national and state bodies to review governance practices across the sport. 2014 benchmark event world championships medal target 0 to 1 actual gold 0 silver 0 bronze 0 total 0 non-medal target achieved Y
