Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Our primary focus this past year remained on shattering the age-old golfer complaint: "I can hit it great on the range, but I lose it on the course." To build on our ongoing push for on-course instruction, we expanded our coaching ecosystem this year to ensure students are supported exactly where and when they need it most.

Continuous On-Course Integration: We doubled down on taking our instruction off the practice tee and onto the grass. By watching students in real playing conditions, we bypassed the "range swing" and tailored our coaching to their actual on-course habits, resulting in better course management, lower scores, and much higher retention.

Weekly Virtual Check-Ins: This was our major new initiative for the year. To keep momentum going between formal face-to-face sessions and ensure progress didn't stall, we implemented weekly remote check-ins for our students.

Real-Time, Contextual Feedback: These check-ins weren't just standard video calls from a desk. We had students connecting with us live from the driving range, mid-round on the golf course, in their living rooms, and even while standing in a fairway bunker asking for real-time advice.

Record-Breaking Engagement: The virtual feedback loop yielded excellent results. It kept students accountable, accelerated their skill transfer from the practice tee to the course, and ultimately drove our academy to conduct more on-course instruction this year than ever before.

By bridging the geographical and mental gaps between the lesson tee and the golf course, we've kept our students hyper-engaged, actively playing, and measurably improving.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Student engagement remains a cornerstone at Imagen Golf, and this year we significantly expanded our retention strategy by adding robust multimedia resources and barrier-free feedback loops.

Ongoing Engagement & Community

Consistent Communication: We utilize SMS reminders and send detailed written lesson recaps after every session to ensure concepts stick.

Community Building: We keep students active through social golfing events, custom fitting events, affiliate program discounts, and personalized birthday or anniversary recognition.

24/7 Coach Access: Our custom app allows students to reach us around the clock to send swing videos or connect live for coaching on the fly.

New 2026 Programming Initiatives

The ImageNation Newsletter: We launched our new monthly newsletter, The ImageNation, to keep our community closely connected and informed on the latest academy news and golf tips.

The Imagen Golf Podcast: To keep students engaged off the course and during their commutes, delivering fresh insights and coaching tips with new episodes dropping twice a week.

Complimentary Swing Analysis: We introduced a program allowing customers to send in videos of their swings for free professional analysis, guaranteeing actionable feedback within 48 hours.

Three New Golf Books: We published Fix This First, Get The Swing & The Game You've always Imagen-ed, and Your Natural Golf Swing to provide comprehensive off-course education.

This strategic, multi-channel approach keeps our students hyper-motivated, driving our average student to take 11 lessons a season—more than twice the industry average. This dedication to the student experience also helped us earn nearly 1,000 additional 5-star reviews this year, bringing our total to nearly 3,000 across all platforms, which remains more than all of our area competitors combined.
