Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
To keep students engaged throughout the year, I have developed a variety of programs beyond traditional private instruction.
These include: Skill of the Week clinics, after-school junior golf programs, seasonal and holiday-themed clinics, on-course coaching, and structured player-development programs.
I also introduced Golf Fitness & Movement Assessment Clinics, where golfers are evaluated for mobility, stability, balance, and physical limitations that may influence their golf swing. These assessments help connect a golfer’s physical capabilities to their instruction and provide a more individualized improvement plan.
Through OnForm, students can also submit swing videos between lessons for remote coaching, feedback, personalized drills, and continued accountability. I have also developed digital instructional programs and video resources so students can continue learning and improving away from the lesson tee.
