RANGE PROMOTION:
We partner with a local minor league soccer team and during one of their games we handed out coupons for a free range basket. This led to several new customers coming to the facility.
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING:
Being a First Tee chapter we have many programs through the year with the community. This year we’ve hosted 4 field trip days for local elementary schools. We host practices for Richmond Public School’s golf team that is trying to get up and running. We also host two other private schools, VCU Men’s golf team and Virginia Union’s Men’s golf team. In April of 2023 we hosted our 25th Anniversary party that was open to the community, it was a chance to celebrate 25 years of making a difference in our community through the game of golf and it brought out many local business as well as participants in our youth programs and loyal customers of our facility.
