Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
As we open this facility up, we have already hosted PGA Family Golf, and are in the process of opening up PGA Jr League for 2024. That is just on the juniors side. Our adult programming just launched as well. I also had the pleasure of designed a 4-hole SNAG golf course that we use for programming of all ages and abilities.
Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Our facility is going to be known for a program entitled The Path. This is what truly makes us different. It is a needs-based program that focuses on education, wellness, and empowerment. Our afterschool program, the Fairway Finders, brings local West Palm Beach youth in need from three of our neighborhood elementary schools. They receive homework help, snacks, tutoring, art, STEM, AND free golf lessons. The youth in this program do not pay a dime to attend, and we service anywhere between 40-60 youth per week, depending on how many show up. I’m more than happy to take a phone call on this, because words simply do not do justice as to what The Path actually is.
Lastly, we just launched our signature program, the Ace Academy, which is a paid internship for 10th grade and higher, exposing them to the game of golf, and more importantly the business of golf as a whole.
Also, have a weekly juniors clinic series on Saturdays from ages 3-13, and we’ve also used a weekly adult short game series to get people going in a bite-size manner.
