Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Sunshine Through Golf – Working with special needs individuals to get them introduced to the game.

Ladies Night Out Golf – Ladies clinics that includes a drink and appetizers at our performance center that overlooks the range. Players get instruction but also to help them meet other ladies who play, or are looking to play the game.

Employee Golf Nights – We have a large staff at our facility, started hosting employee instruction nights to get our staff to understand the game and facility better, which we feel helps them deliver a better experience. Also we highly encourage staff to play with members and guests, so we hope they get the skills and confidence to do so.

1 and 2 Day Golf Schools – Covering all topics of the game to get players the skills necessary on the course as fast as possible. This includes on course time.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Committed Athlete Program – For juniors who take the game seriously and want to continue past the high school level possibly. The program was created to give players a place to practice and improve in the winter and early spring before the heavy tournament schedule. The program has produced over 200 collegiate golfers and 50 division 1 players. Including multiple state championships and national tournament victories. The program has really grown into a community that allows players to constantly contact coaches and receive advice on their games, college recruiting and other elements needed to be successful on and off the course.

Mistwood Jr. League – Spawned off the PGA Jr. League, we created an in house league to allow us to expand and have more participation plus we can add shoulder seasons in the spring and fall. This allows us to provide course access to over 100 juniors per season.

Club Fitting – Member fitting nights and events. Working with OEM's and our reps to have them out to our facility, similar to a fitting day, but adding an interactive, educational aspect to it. We also provide equipment checks to get players to come back to us to check lofts, lies and that keeps a dialogue open about their golf games.

We also have a heavy social media, and coach now presence with golf tips, golf course ideas or just interesting things in the golf world that we send to them through the season. This includes a podcast discussing topics with the various elements of our performance center.
