Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
We have partnered with several groups, organizations that I would consider non-traditional golf demographics. Cincinnati Black Golfers, and Queen City Links Ladies, we ran a clinic series and four hole scramble events for new golfers. We annually host programming with Special Olympics, Down Syndrome Association of Cincinnati, PGA HOPE and the First Tee.
