Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
One of the hallmark initiatives we are excited to reintroduce next year is our Family Golf Day, a community-centered event designed to make the game of golf accessible, engaging, and fun for players of all ages and skill levels. Hosted at our Palm Beach County facility, this event aims to bring families together through a day of interactive golf activities while introducing newcomers to the sport in a welcoming, pressure-free environment.
Family Golf Day will follow a festive field-day-style format featuring a variety of activities that appeal to both avid golfers and those brand-new to the game. Families will enjoy mini golf mazes, demo-day club stations, and even free lessons from our professional coaching staff. By offering these experiences at no cost, we’re creating easy entry points for children and adults who may be curious about golf but unsure where to start.
To elevate the community atmosphere, the event will also include local food trucks and family-friendly entertainment, making it a true celebration of recreation and togetherness. Our goal is to create an environment where families can explore the sport at their own pace, connect with others in the community, and build positive associations with the game.
Bringing back Family Golf Day is part of our broader commitment to growing the game of golf in Palm Beach County. By creating inclusive, community-focused events that remove traditional barriers to participation, we hope to inspire more families to discover the joy of golf and to foster a new generation of players who feel connected, confident, and excited to continue their journey in the sport.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
At Don Law Golf Academy, one of the things that sets us apart is our deep commitment to the development of junior golfers. We have a long history of supporting PGA youth development programs, and over the years, we’ve built upon this foundation with a range of our own innovative initiatives. With Don and Diana at the helm, industry veterans with over 25 years of experience, they have played a pivotal role in growing junior golf in South Florida, earning our academy a reputation as one of the most respected in the region.

I’ve been fortunate to walk into an already well-established organization with expansive programming that has set a high standard in the golf community.
One of the most exciting programs I’ve had the privilege of developing is our High-Performance Program. Designed for elite golfers aiming to play college golf, this full-time training program is tailored to meet the needs of athletes seeking a comprehensive, professional-level development path. This program was created to help retain our younger juniors and making sure they did not move on to the next golf academy.

The High-Performance Program goes far beyond traditional coaching. It’s a holistic approach that covers physical training, mental conditioning, technical golf practice, tournament scheduling, college recruitment, and even transportation. As a full-time student in the program, each athlete receives personalized support to ensure they are prepared to succeed both on the course and in their future golf career.
Since its inception, this program has grown exponentially. We started with just five athletes in the first year, and today, we proudly support more than 45 golfers, and the number continues to rise. It has become one of the most expansive and vital programs within our academy, fueling both individual success stories and the broader growth of our academy as a whole.

The program’s success lies in our ability to cater to each athlete’s specific needs while also providing the resources and guidance required to excel in junior golf and beyond. Whether it's refining technical skills, navigating the college recruitment process, or managing the rigors of competitive golf, our High-Performance Program equips each student with the tools they need to reach their highest potential.

We are incredibly proud of how far this program has come, and we remain dedicated to expanding it further to provide even more young golfers with the opportunities, guidance, and mentorship they need to turn their aspirations into achievements.
