Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
We’ve been very successful here with PGA Junior League Golf. We have been fortunate to host the Mid-Atlantic Regional Multiple times. Our program is all in-house and had 30+ participants this year, which is quite impressive given the size of our club and the level of difficulty of our golf course. The Fall Junior Team Golf Program is always a home run. It’s essentially PGA Junior League meets Drive Chip & Putt. Short Game skills contests where each team gets it’s own jersey complete with a college logo, nickname and number. It’s SO fun. High School Winter Elite is a wonderful program that involves teaching the whole person. We have had guest speakers present on nutrition, college prep, growth mindset, fitness, etc. We are so thankful to be at the forefront of player development at LedgeRock

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Coach Now has been an absolute home run in terms of keeping the lines of communication open with my students. I have over 800 students who have an active Coach Now account. If the adage of marketing to the 90% of existing customers rather than the general public is accurate, which I absolutely believe it is, Coach Now has proven to be my best marketing/communication tool. As for junior golfers, anytime they participate in anything junior golf related, they get an orange LedgeRock Junior Golf Poker Chip. At our year end event, the kids get to cash them in for prizes. Our membership and our vendors/reps have really embraced the idea and we often have over $5,000 in prizes! It gives the junior golfers a little extra motivation to show up and participate! I send out a weekly “Learning Center News” to our membership. It often varies in terms of content, but it’s always very well received. For instance, I might do a “Top 10 Christmas Gift” idea email that recommends anything from apparel to winter training aids to equipment, etc. I get a huge response from that. Of course the #1 Christmas Gift recommendation is always Game Improvement Sessions with Andy!
