Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I am 84 going on 85 and I feel that I can really relate to my Senior golfers and their needs to hit a golf ball. I emphasize good fundamentals in the short game and work those simple fundamentals into the full swing I recommend a 6 lesson series as that commits them to practice and repeating the lesson ideas. I had a few real life stories from my PGA Tour days that is entertaining and has a message to them also. An instructor must be enthusiastic care about the pupil.
