Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
New for 2025 I offered both a "Stretch and Strengthen" clinic, and a Ladies Golf Brunch. For the "Stretch and Strengthen" we used materials from the CardioGolf certification that I recently completed. Offered Drive, Chip, and Putt Clinics to prepare for the competition and drive more juniors to participate in it. It was a two hour clinic to cover the basics of how the competition works and improve their performance at it.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
In addition to the new clinics that I offered in 2025, I also created new leagues to incentivize my lessons to play more and have more fun doing so. These leagues were a senior league on Wednesday mornings, and a couples league on Friday nights. These were offered in addition to my already popular Craft Beer League – a scramble non-competitive league that has over 100+ participants.

Additionally, I added special "fitting" nights that included a clinic and a new wedge or putter. These were called "Chips and Sips" and "Putt and Partake".

Off the course, we continued with our social events including an Adults Only Easter Egg Hunt and live music on our patio to keep our guests at the facility for longer. Large bands were brought out for free concerts on Independence Day and Labor Day, allowing our guests to enjoy themselves and the facility.
