Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Over the past year, we have continued to expand our player development pathway by creating programming that welcomes golfers of all ages and skill levels while encouraging long-term participation in the game.

Our junior programming includes PGA Jr. League, Operation 36, and age-specific junior clinics that provide a structured progression from first-time golfers to competitive junior players. We have also expanded family-focused opportunities through Parent/Child events and introductory instructional programs that encourage families to enjoy the game together.

For adult golfers, we have emphasized custom club fitting experiences with every major manufacturer, ladies' clinics, beginner-friendly instruction, and technology-driven coaching utilizing TrackMan, Foresight Sports, and Toptracer. These initiatives have helped make golf more approachable for new players while giving experienced golfers measurable tools to improve.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
To keep students engaged, I focus on creating a clear and personalized development plan for each golfer rather than treating lessons as isolated sessions. Students receive specific practice priorities, measurable goals, and follow-up recommendations so they understand what to work on between lessons and can see their progress over time.

I use TrackMan, Foresight Sports technology, and video analysis to provide objective feedback and help students better understand their swing, ball flight, and performance. This technology also allows us to establish benchmarks and revisit them during future sessions, which creates accountability and reinforces improvement.

For junior golfers, I remain involved through Operation 36, PGA Jr. League, junior clinics, and individual coaching. These programs provide a natural progression from introductory instruction to on-course play and competitive opportunities. For adults, I offer private lessons, playing lessons, short-game instruction, club fitting, and customized practice sessions based on each student’s goals.

The combination of regular communication, structured practice plans, technology-driven feedback, and multiple instructional formats helps students remain motivated, connected, and committed to improving their games.
