Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
My focus has been creating pathways that turn an introduction to golf into long-term participation. We serve more than 1,200 youth annually through PGA Jr. League, camps, clinics and our expanding Junior Academy pathway. More than 225 juniors participate in PGA Jr. League alone. We have been recognized for having the largest program in the State of Ohio and 15th largest in the Nation. We have also expanded PGA HOPE opportunities, affordable Youth on Course access, girls' programming and structured development opportunities that connect indoor learning at The Golf Dome with on-course play at Tanglewood. Tanglewood is a nearby public course that we have a great relationship with.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I believe students stay engaged when they can see progress and always have a next step. Our programming creates a year-round pathway through clinics, Junior Academy, Junior Academy Elite, High School Development Academy, Tournament Academy, as well as PGA Jr. League, camps, tournament play and individual coaching. We use TrackMan testing, skills challenges, score posting and competition to measure improvement. Students can train indoors at The Golf Dome, then transition to Tanglewood for on-course coaching and competition, keeping them learning, playing and connected throughout the year.
