Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Our Junior Academy continues to be one of our primary Growth of the Game initiatives. The Academy is built around our 10-level Player Pathway, which tracks and develops each junior across golf, physical and mental skills providing a clear progression system and long-term development structure.

Over the past year, we expanded the program by developing a dedicated PMG Junior Academy app that allows players to track their competitive rounds, identify performance trends and provides structure for purposeful practice between training sessions. It also acts as a great communication tool with parents on their child's progress.

We also introduced our Competitive Player Pathway for elite junior golfers. This summer program combines group instruction with on-course training at the Timbers at Troy Golf Course and post-round performance reports. This allows our coaches and players to evaluate actual on-course performance, identify areas for development and use that information to guide future training.

We have also continued to grow our Adult Practice Club, with an increased emphasis on community and measurable progress. Members complete standardized TrackMan assessments in wedge play, approach play and driving, giving them benchmarks they can revisit throughout the year to measure improvement. We also incorporate monthly competitions and shared experiences to create a community centered around purposeful practice and continued development.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
We focus heavily on creating reasons for our students and customers to stay engaged in their development throughout the year. Our Practice Club combines access to our practice facility with an emphasis on community and measurable progress. Members complete standardized TrackMan assessments in wedge play, approach play and driving, allowing them to establish benchmarks and track improvement over time. We also run monthly competitions and communicate through our CoachNow community, where we share updates, practice ideas, best practices and results.

Our Junior Academy's 10-level Player Pathway gives junior players clear goals and milestones as they develop their golf, physical and mental skills. Our new Academy app further extends that engagement by helping juniors track competitive rounds and structure their practice between training sessions. It also creates a sense of community and competition with our leaderboard of our assessments and tracking the longest "Practice Streaks".

During the offseason, our winter leagues provide another competitive and social outlet, helping adult golfers stay connected to the game throughout the year.
