Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
I was instrumental in launching a junior certification program which involves educating new and existing junior golfers on course etiquette both on the golf course and on the practice facilities.
Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I have added and increased our ladies instructional programs by having 2 sets of semester-long clinics. One is our “Beginners Academy” and the other is our “Players Academy. We use to only do a level 1 ladies academy. After a few semesters, several ladies would phase out because of its remedial nature. By adding the Players Academy, we have created a program for ladies who have passed the beginning stages of golf and who now golf on a more regular basis. This was a huge upgrade with an emphasis on playing the game better.
