I create Programs with the idea of making Player Development Pathways. The goal would be to provide players of any skillset a program that fits their goals now as well as programs that will fit their games as they improve. Each year we hold more than 15 different programs that range from weekly women’s Get Golf Ready clinics to monthly short game clinics to Guest Instructor Golf Schools.

a. Women’s Programs include Operation 36 (Novice), Get Golf Ready (Beginner/Fundamental), 30-N-3 (Intermediate/on course setting), and Advanced Women’s Clinics (single digit ladies).

b. Examples of other programs include monthly Short Game Clinics, Know Your Numbers (distance mapping), Cleveland Scoring Clinics (wedge fitting/clinic/includes a wedge), Putt for $$ (putter fitting/clinic/includes discount on putter), 3-Day Women’s Golf School, Rules Seminars, and Guest Instructor Golf Schools (instructors such as Mike Shannon, Joe Mayo, Steven Yellin, and David Leadbetter).
