Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
I have created a new complimentary program "Play with Dale" that is designed to help grow the game of golf by breaking down the intimidation and uncertainty that can keep people from getting on the course. In a relaxed, informal environment, participants play a few to up to 9-hole alongside me while having the freedom to ask questions, learn how to navigate the course, and gain confidence in their own game. The program creates a welcoming bridge from the practice area to the golf course, helping golfers feel more comfortable, capable, and excited to play. My goal is simple: make golf more approachable, enjoyable, and inclusive so more people feel confident stepping onto the course and continuing to play.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
We offer season lesson packages, lesson series and individual lessons as well as group instruction. I also offer virtual lessons while I am away from the facility in the summer. I also check in with our members to see how they are doing while they are away for the summer.
