Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
I added adult group coaching programs this year. They can choose if they come once a week, twice a week, or three times a week. We work on the full swing for 30 minutes and then the short game for 30 minutes. This program has really grown this year and is at the max number of participants.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I have included at least one online lesson check in depending on the package the golfer is taking. The more lessons in their package can create multiple online check ins. They film their swing or short game shots from down the line and the hands on line and upload them in their coach now account and I look at them and give voice over feedback with lines drawn and send it back to them so they stay on top of what we are working on. I will also send video drills if necessary. They also can reach out to me within their coach now chat and ask questions and this communication has been great as I also check on them if I do not hear from them. Communication and relationships is everything.
