Best range promotion: Over the summer, one of our instructors ran a “Long Drive Challenge,” mainly for juniors (ages 6-16), but adults could participate as well. On the range, we had a national long drive competitor hit his putter against any of the kids and their driver. Over the course of two hours, not a single junior beat him, and two adults did. They each won a $25 gift certificate
to our pro shop. Juniors could participate at $2 for three swings, adults at $5.

Special programs:  We run clinics for the local Special Olympics organization, as well as occasional free adult clinics for the EWGA. On Easter, we have an Easter Egg Hunt on the 18th hole of the Championship Golf Course for the kids in the community.
