Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
This year we offered teen junior league for the first time, and competed in junior league post season with teens. In addition to that we had a large 13 under program with 5 all star teams and one team that advanced to the national championship. I offered weekly summer camp for high schoolers that are just beginning golf and hoping to make their high school teams, a monthly progressive developmental tour that fills each month, where young golfers as young as 3 years old can learn to love the game. I also offer a homeschool morning program for juniors three days a week.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I offer a class for junior players who wanted to experience more match play to come and compete with friends in a fun format, outside of our junior league program. I work to make classes, camps and clinics as fun as possible with games, on course play and fun competition, and putting games. My ladies classes are a mixture of swing and on course short game practice to keep players engaged. All classes have drop in options so that players have maximum flexibility for everyone and are available to non-members for maximum engagement.
