Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Our academy has a partnership with a private club and manages PGA junior league, Wee Golf, Junior University program, and Ladies Get Golf Ready. Additionally, we run Discover Golf Programs for elementary students at our facility. The students play interactive games as they learn golf skills that are very visual and fun!

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Bluegrass Golf Academy’s vision was to create a competitive player program for middle school and high school players that were looking to play competitive golf or looking pursue collegiate golf. In 2020, we opened a 1,300 square foot academy with just 25 students in our program. Over the past three years we have grown to have over 90 students and have just opened a 10,000 square foot indoor facility. The new facility includes a fitness area and an athletic trainer to work with our students during the 2.5 hours of weekly training.
