Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Junior Golf Development – Expanded year-round programming with after-school training, weekend on-course play, summer/holiday camps, PGA Jr. League, and Parent/Child events, providing juniors with a pathway from instruction to regular on-course participation.

PGA HOPE / Veteran Programming – Continued growth of our veteran initiative, serving approximately 420 veterans annually through six-week PGA HOPE programs, follow-up instruction, practice opportunities, and monthly on-course events.

Track to Triumph – Toptracer Development Program – Introduced a new technology-based program combining coached sessions with independent practice. Players establish baseline performance, practice independently using Toptracer, and track measurable improvement throughout the program.

Toptracer Engagement Programs – Expanded the use of Toptracer beyond traditional range practice through leagues, skills challenges, closest-to-the-pin competitions, and special events designed to make practice more social, measurable, and engaging.
Adult Development & Social Clinics – Continued to develop targeted clinics and themed programs covering putting, short game, bunker play, speed, driving, and other specific areas of the game, providing approachable alternatives to traditional private instruction.

Family Golf – Continued Parent/Child programming designed to encourage parents and juniors to learn and play together and make golf a shared family activity.

Inclusive Junior Coaching – Continued creating an environment where juniors with different learning and developmental needs can participate successfully alongside other players in our regular programming.

Developing Future Coaches – Expanded the involvement and training of assistant professionals in junior, veteran, and group programming, increasing our instructional capacity while helping develop the next generation of PGA coaches.

Technology-Driven Player Development – Increased integration of Toptracer, TrackMan, Sportsbox 3D AI, and HackMotion to make improvement more measurable and help golfers better understand their progress.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Progressive Junior Pathway – Students can move from after-school training into weekend on-course play where I personally charge for 1 hr $35 but will be with them for 3 hrs to see them warm up and play and then make plans to address weaknesses during the weak, PGA Jr. League, camps, private coaching, and competitive opportunities, providing a continuous development pathway throughout the year.

PGA HOPE Continuation – Veterans completing the introductory six-week program are encouraged to stay connected through monthly outings, continued practice opportunities, additional clinics, and discounted private instruction.

Toptracer Programs & Challenges – Leagues, skills challenges, closest-to-the-pin competitions, and structured practice programs give golfers reasons to return to the range while making practice measurable and social.

Track to Triumph – A new six-week program combining coached sessions with independent Toptracer practice, allowing participants to establish a baseline, work independently, and return to measure their improvement.

Themed Adult Clinics – Rotating clinics such as Putting IQ, The Great Escape, Speed Lab, Up & Down, and other skill-specific programs keep instruction fresh while encouraging students to continue developing different areas of their game.

On-Course Development – Programs extend beyond the practice range with playing opportunities that help students transfer what they learn in lessons to the golf course.

Parent/Child & Family Programming – Creates opportunities for families to learn and play together, helping golf become an ongoing shared activity rather than a one-time lesson.

Technology & Progress Tracking – Toptracer, TrackMan, Sportsbox 3D AI, and HackMotion are incorporated where appropriate to provide feedback, establish benchmarks, and allow students to see measurable progress over time.

Personal Follow-Up – Students are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with their coach through follow-up lessons, practice recommendations, and appropriate next-step programming rather than treating instruction as a one-time transaction.
