We revamped our 12- to 14-year-old class to Train Your Skills. We focused on skills that the juniors need on the course including sand shots, punch shots, reading greens and more. We added a Play with Stacy class on Mondays at 1 PM. Ladies can sign up as a threesome and play 9 holes with me. We focus on course management, targets on the drives and 100 yards and in. It has been a popular program that ladies have asked if we can have a class with their husbands joining or their adult children.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
