Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
The Lesson Tee Newsletter comes out periodically via Mailchimp to over 700 recipients: golf tips, golf course architecture, Rules of Golf, course condition updates, etc. Our facility has three golf courses, dining, and the Casino Resort (our sister property up the road).
Our students play the courses, they buy range balls, they stay at the hotel, they use the casino, they eat and drink here, purchase items in the golf shop….it’s truly a win-win for everyone. Probably sold $25,000 worth of Callaway clubs having regularly sent clients to the world HQ in Carlsbad, Ca.
