Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Complimentary Lesson Program- Our complimentary lesson program grants every family a completely free lesson or clinic each week as part of the club membership.

30&3 Ladies Clinic- Our ladies 30 & 3 clinic is a 30 minute instructional clinic at the practice facility followed by 3 holes of on course instruction. It also includes a cocktail prior to the clinic and a monthly group dinner with the instruction. This has seen tremendous popularity with 20-30 ladies participating weekly from April-October

Sunset Social 9 Hole League- Sunset Social is our ladies 9 hole program, designed for the ladies who advance past our 30&3 program. This nine-hole league uses custom made scorecards that shifts the focus from score to skill development. We give out points each week based on a point system for that weeks particular skill, such as putting might be 2 points for 1 putt; 1 point for 2 putts; 0 points for 3 putt; -1 for 4 putts. Very popular this new program with dozens of participants and many moving on from 30&3 to Sunset Social.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Legends of the Links- Junior Golf Trading Card Game I created to use with our junior program. Kids collect the trading cards that I designed by completing skill challenges in practice. The cards have head to head skill challenges printed on them that the kids can then use on their own to practice and compete with. Legends of the Links is now distributed at over a dozen local courses and growing.

Skill Golf App- This is an app that I developed on my own that has over 500 different practice challenges on it. Each challenge has a goal based on the skill level. Players can unlock new challenges by gaining xp and participate in multiplayer competitions or on-course contests by turning in coins that they earn through completed challenges. This app gives players a great tool to improve their practice habits and make their time at the driving range much more fun.

Grind Games Newsletter- Weekly newsletter I send out containing a new practice game for players to try along with specific goals based on their handicap. Each challenge has a goal for 20 handicap, 10 handicap, scratch, and Pro level players.
