Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Over the past year, I expanded our player development offerings by launching ALL iN GOLF’s Winter Junior Academy, providing junior golfers with a structured, 12 week coaching program that emphasized long-term skill development, purposeful practice, and measurable improvement throughout the offseason. We also continued to grow our Junior Golf Lab and Junior Practice Club, creating affordable, coach-led opportunities for juniors to learn, practice, and build confidence in a fun and welcoming environment. I also introduced “Practice with The Pros” at ALL iN GOLF where junior golfers of middle school and high school age can come in during select times throughout the summer and recieve organized and focused “coach led” practice. I completed my first year as coach for Nagel Middle School Golf Team and continue introducing young golfers to competitive golf while teaching sportsmanship, etiquette, and a lifelong appreciation for the game.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I believe golfers stay engaged when they clearly understand what they’re working toward and can see measurable progress. Rather than teaching isolated lessons, I develop individualized improvement plans that combine TrackMan data, video analysis, purposeful practice, and attainable short- and long-term goals. Between lessons, I maintain communication with students by providing practice recommendations, progress checks, and communication that reinforces what we worked on during instruction. I also encourage students to validate their improvement through on-course play, TrackMan combines, skills assessments, and structured practice challenges. My goal is to create self-sufficient golfers who understand not only what to practice, but why they’re practicing it. By keeping students accountable, celebrating progress, and making improvement measurable, I help golfers stay motivated and committed long after the lesson ends. I use PGA COACH for ongoing communications and clear path of notes of drills etc.
