Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Over the past year, I have been deeply involved in several initiatives that expand access to the game and create meaningful pathways for new and underserved golfers.

PGA HOPE Programs
Our facility has hosted multiple PGA HOPE sessions, welcoming veterans from across Southern California. These programs provide a supportive, community‑driven environment for veterans to learn the game, reconnect socially, and experience the therapeutic benefits of golf. We will continue offering PGA HOPE again in October, and the facility also hosted a PGA HOPE Pro‑Am tournament to further celebrate and support the veteran community.

Partnership with The First Tee – Coachella Valley
I work closely with Teal Thorn, CEO of The First Tee Coachella Valley, to promote youth development through golf. She joined me on my podcast, 'The Pro & The Hack', to highlight their mission and programs, and we have welcomed First Tee participants to Mission Hills for instructional sessions. This collaboration strengthens junior engagement and provides young players with additional opportunities to grow in the game.

LPGA Girls Experience
We hosted a special LPGA Experience event that brought junior girls to the facility for group instruction, mentorship, and direct interaction with LPGA guests — including Hall of Famer Sandra Palmer and others. This program not only introduced young girls to the game but also inspired them through personal stories, Q&A sessions, and hands‑on coaching.

These initiatives reflect my commitment to making golf more accessible, inclusive, and impactful for veterans, juniors, and emerging players throughout the Coachella Valley.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I offer a variety of programs designed to engage players of all skill levels, strengthen member participation, and introduce new golfers to the game:

Weekly Skills Clinics
I conduct weekly small‑group clinics focused on popular topics. The small group format allows for personalized attention while maintaining an inviting, social learning environment.

Long‑Term Individual Coaching Packages
My structured coaching packages have created significant long‑term improvement for students. These programs provide consistent guidance, accountability, and measurable progress toward each player’s specific goals.

Weekly Complimentary Clinics
These free sessions have become a major gateway for new players, spouses, families, and experienced golfers to engage with the club. They introduce people to instruction in a low‑pressure setting and have generated substantial follow‑up lessons and deeper involvement in the game.

High School Outreach
I travel to local high schools to provide complimentary swing evaluations for golf team players. This outreach supports youth development, strengthens community relationships, and helps young golfers gain confidence and direction in their training.

These programs collectively enhance player development, increase participation, and create a welcoming pathway for golfers at every stage of their journey.
