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, our goal has been to bring new players into the game and give them a clear, welcoming path to improve and stay involved.

Staying connected with every student.
We keep in close, regular contact with our clients by text, email and shared lesson videos, so their progress continues between sessions. We also build lasting relationships through simulated rounds and on-course playing lessons, which help students carry what they learn onto the course.

Partnering with a local courses.
We’ve formed a partnership with a local courses and their teaching staff to make sure their students are playing equipment that helps them succeed.

Junior Club Fittings
We’re one of the few facilities in the area that fits junior golfers for equipment. Properly fit equipment helps young players develop sound fundamentals, enjoy the game and keep playing. This program has been a big success and keeps gaining momentum. We are seeing many return clients over time.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Virtual lessons
Many of our clients travel often or have relocated over the past few years, and we've maintained our relationship through virtual lessons on Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. An OBSBOT auto-tracking camera follows the instructor’s movements, which makes demonstrations clearer and communication smoother. Students get personal coaching whether they live nearby or across the country. This has also led to our development of AI assisted coaching. We are in the process of developing an App for Coaching and Fitting to help maintain our relationship with clients.

Lesson and practice packages.
Several of our lesson bundles include practice time, so students can work on what they learned right away and improve quicker through immediate feedback from technology. Players who want more time can choose an annual or monthly practice membership or pay by the hour.

Free Fitting Saturdays.
These are among our most popular events. Every instructor’s schedule is usually fully booked each Saturday.
