RANGE PROMOTION:

We had Golf Course architect Andrew Green redesigned our short game area creating a bigger putting green, bunker, and enough room for 30 people to practice chip shots all around the green.
We also installed a wedge range with 4 hitting mats to designated targets with specific yardages from 40 to 90.
WE have also installed Inrange that the members can retrieve yardages and ball flight data on their phones or tablets.

After School Junior Development Program – Two years ago one of the local school teams had try outs. They had 25 kids try out for the team. After the cut they only took 10 kids to play matches and practice. That left 15 kids not able to play or practice. I quickly recognized this and talk to the coach. With his help I reached out to several of those families and we got the kids instruction. It was one on one golf instruction. It was great a created a revenue stream and built relationships with the community. These kids were not members. The next year I told the coach not to cut anyone. The coach picked his team and again that left 18 kids to move into my junior development program that I created in advance. The kids and parents know that the kids that don’t make the team still had a chance to practice and play with myself and our team of instructors. After the program ended for the season parents wanted more. I created the after school golf program.
