Best range promotion: We run promotions on our own apps. These apps are similar to groupon, where a certain number of people have to purchase before the app gets tripped. However, we do not share any of the funds with an outside agency like groupon.

Special programs: We run a summer golf program for 1500 kids with special needs (down syndrome, autism, deaf, MS, etc). Each week for 8 weeks all 1500 children are taught. We also run a program for Economically Disadvantaged Children from the Bronx, Harlem and other disadvantaged areas. About 60-90 children are taught each week. We run a very successful corporate event business that accounts for 1/4 of our annual income.
