Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
We partnered with Watson Links to hold 2 grow the game initiatives for getting both young and high school age students into the game and access to the course. The first one partnered with our LPGA USGA girls golf program and the LPGA Amateurs and the second one partnered our High School League with our Veterans League. We also partnered with PGA Hope to run clinics for new veterans.
Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
We now have 90 women in our summer golf leagues and will have at least half that in the fall. We have 300 veterans in my foundation's golf league. We have 25 girls in our Girls Golf Club. There are 40 kids in our PGA Junior League program and 20 in our High School Golf League.
