Best range promotion: Our best range promotion this season was our demo day. Over 100 of our members attended the event which was held on Thursday evening; a bit different than the standard Saturday afternoon deal. We incorporated the Golfzilla to attract families as well as setting up a grill and bar for those that wanted to make a nice evening of it. The weather was perfect and there was just enough of a social vibe to make the evening a great success. The fun atmosphere took the edge off of
the demo experience. There was little or no feeling of product pushing or sales. People enjoyed the experience of trying all of the new equipment without feeling like they were being pushed into product. It was easily the largest demo day we’d had and the most successful. The pressure is on to make next year’s bigger and better!

Special Programs: Our largest event is a fundraiser for the Lurie’s Children’s Hospital in Chicago. This year the event raised 1.6 million dollars. We invite over fifty golf professionals from around the country to compete along side four amateurs. The event has been held here for over fifty years.
