Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
This year, I added interactive practice apps to support my coaching programs. I used AI to help build a wedge matrix that lets players record how far they hit different wedges with different lengths of swing. This gives them their own distance reference to use when practicing and playing.

I also added putting apps with drills and stat tracking to help players work toward eliminating three-putts. These tools give golfers a way to practice with a purpose and record their results between coaching sessions.

My six-week Scoring Method program includes three on-course sessions and three skill sessions. We work on course management, better decisions, and the skills that help each player lower their scores.

My Short Game Mastery program includes four short game sessions followed by an on-course application session. Players take what they have practiced to the course and learn how to use it in playing situations.

I also offer short game, sand game, and AimPoint clinics, which I reintroduce to members each week to encourage participation. My focus across all of these programs is helping golfers play better, see progress, and enjoy the game more.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I want people to look forward to coming to a session and leave excited to go play. Golf can be frustrating, and I want my coaching to help players feel that improvement is within their reach.

I keep sessions interactive and fun. We ask questions, try shots, and talk through decisions together. I want players to feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. They need to understand their own game and have confidence in what they are doing.

That is why on-course coaching is such a big part of my Scoring Method and Short Game Mastery programs. We get to take what we have practiced and use it where it matters. A player learning to get out of a bunker, control a wedge distance, or avoid a three-putt has something meaningful to build on.

Between sessions, my wedge matrix and putting apps give students a way to practice with a purpose and record their results. I want them to know what to work on and be able to recognize progress along the way.

I also bring my programs and clinics back in front of members each week, giving them different ways to stay involved.

At the heart of it, I care about helping people enjoy their golf. Lower scores matter, but so does feeling more confident, having fun with the people you play with, and wanting to get out there again. That is what I want my coaching to help them do.
