Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
The L.A.B. Next Level Experience TeachingTour(Learn. Apply. Build.) is an exclusive two-day player-development experience I created for a select group of 10 competitive junior golfers. Rather than a traditional golf camp or clinic, the experience gives players VIP access to the golf industry while helping them better understand themselves as athletes and competitors.

Throughout the two days, players participate in performance development and education, visit and interact with leading golf companies such as Callaway, TravisMathew, Vessel, and Toulon, and learn directly from industry professionals, coaches, and mentors. A centerpiece of the experience is a performance day at Callaway’s Ely Callaway Performance Center, where we connect each player’s individual tendencies, athleticism, preparation, practice, and decision-making to how they perform in competition.

Each player also works through the L.A.B. Essentials — Learn. Apply. Build. development process, giving them a more personalized understanding of who they are as a player and what they need to continue developing.

The purpose is bigger than providing 10 juniors with a memorable two days. It is to give talented young players access, education, relationships, and a developmental blueprint they can carry with them long after the experience is over. There's no other experience like this in golf it is truly a one of a Kind experience.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I have focused on not only bringing players into golf, but creating programs that give them a reason and a pathway to stay engaged. I have developed junior programs, college-prep programs, player-development scholarships, and long-term development opportunities designed to make quality coaching and competitive golf more accessible.

One example is my 30-Lesson Scholarship Program, which gives selected junior and adult golfers access to a complete player-development experience at a significantly reduced cost. The program goes beyond traditional lessons and can include 30 hours of coaching, on-course instruction, club fitting, tournament and course preparation, performance development, and access to reduced pricing on golf equipment. The goal is to remove some of the financial and developmental barriers that often prevent players from receiving consistent coaching and having the resources they need to continue progressing.

I have also created The L.A.B. Essentials and L.A.B. Experience, which help competitive players better understand how they learn, practice, prepare, and perform. Earlier in my career, I developed and led junior and college-prep programs that helped players progress from learning the game into competitive golf, with more than 100 players ultimately earning opportunities to play at the collegiate level.

Across all of these programs, my approach to growing the game has remained consistent: create access, reduce barriers, provide a pathway for development, and give players the tools and experiences that keep them learning, progressing, and connected to the game.
