Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
I have three junior, Golf Academy programs offering spring/ summer semester and summer/ fall semester sessions. Over 60 sessions offered per year. I also offer 5 different types ofsummer golf camps. Each camp is engineered for different age range and skill level Junior Golfers.
Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
The Litlest Golfer Camp is for golfers age 3 to 6. The Young Champs Camp is for Golfer’s age 6 to 10. The weeklong, half-day and weeklong full day camps are for the more serious Junior Golfer wanting more play on the course. The Young Champions Academy offers sessions twice a week throughout the year for golfers age 6 to 10. The Players Academy is offered throughout the year for golfers age 10 to 13 and the Elite Academy is offered for golfers age 13 and above. All of these opportunities produce young golfers that transition to more private lessons and coaching. All of these programs have fostered an environment, where golfers ultimately can reach their goal of playing collegiately or even professionally. Over 50 golfers from my programs have made it into College Golf or Professional Golf careers. Created Several top ranked juniors in the country and some have played on the National PGA Jr. League Championship teams and participated in the finals of Drive, Chip and Putt at Augusta National golf club.
