Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Project Par (Junior Golf program where kids earn golf trading cards that we made by completing challenges. Each trading card has its own character as well as a golf challenge on it that they can compete against their friends or parents with)
30&3- Beginner ladies clinic where we do a 30-minute clinic and then three holes of on-course instruction.
Sunset Social- Beginner 9-hole program for ladies with a custom-designed scorecard that has skill points based on whichever skill we are covering that week. If it is a putting week the scoring would be 0 pts for a 4-putt, 1 point for a 3-putt, 2 points for a two-putt, and 3 points for a one-putt.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Strokes Gained Assessments- I created my own 90-shot strokes gained assessment that breaks down each student's game into 13 skills and gives them a handicap for each skill based on their strokes gained data.
Driver Masterclass- This 3 hour clinic was a deep dive into everything a player needs to know about driving the ball effectively, including ground forces, swing dynamics, club fitting, and course management.
Putting Masterclass- A three-hour clinic that is a deep dive into putting, broken down into the three skills of distance control, start line control, and green reading.
Short-Game School- We host multiple of these throughout the season. It is a two-hour clinic giving fundamental instructions to all the short game shots a player may hit from 50 yards and in.
Project Par- This junior golf clinic uses the trading cards I created and the trading card game associated with them to engage kids in the skill challenges that make up our clinic. We then do on-course testing to allow kids to "level up" and earn more valuable trading cards.
Monthly Skills Challenge- Each month I have a new skill challenge for players to compete in on their own time. We keep a leaderboard in my teaching bay.
Practice Journals- All my long-term students receive a practice journal with dozens of different practice games and scoring systems for those games.
Hexad Player Type Survey- I use this game design survey to better understand WHY my players are playing the game of golf. It allows me to better understand what motivates them as well as what may demotivate them as a player.
