Growth of the game initiatives:
- LPGA Girls Golf. Our girls golf program has been one of our most popular programs this year. With the goal of getting the girls out on the course more often, we host weekly clinics and best-ball tournaments. Our program has grown to approx. 75 girls per event. My favorite event of 2016 was “Look Who’s Golfing Now”. All our girls were allowed bring one non golfing friend along to this event.
- 2016 brought big excitement to our PGA Jr League Program. We now have 5 PGA Junior League teams and hope to grow this in 2017.
- Drive, Chip & Putt with over 75 kids competing at the local level.
- PGA Family Course. This was welcomed addition with both juniors and seniors.
- Bring Your Kid To The Range Month. A fun month to see so many new kids dabble in golf. We saw a significant increase in juniors 5-9 because of this initiative.
