Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
We started a on course program. Putting each player into situations that they might see on the golf course we believe that’s the reason why players aren’t getting any better. Need to learn how to get out of certain situations it’s hard to do that on the driving range so we’re using our part three golf course to do this. We also started a women’s executive clinics every two weeks they come out for an hour and a half for a clinic and then we put them on the part three I now have a women instructor so it’s going really well. We talked about four months ago now we’re up to 40 women. We also have a Jr clinics that are on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday. They can pick two days a week to come down an hour and a half long is for the kids that have already done beginner summer camps and wanting to get better and start playing nine whole tournaments.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I believe our programming that taking them on the golf course and also teaching them uneven lies has been a big hit, taken him out there and teach them how to get out of situations so I think this program has been the biggest success we’ve had so far
