Best range promotion: The best range promotion we held at The Peninsula in 2015 was what we called “Walk the Line.” Our teaching Professional along with members of the golf staff would literally walk the range helping golfers with their practice routines and offering swing tips and advice, free of charge. This became very popular with the members and the staff as well and increased the Golf staff’s exposure to our members.

Special programs: We have partnered with the University of Maryland – Eastern Shore to form a PGA Jr. League. In our first year we introduced 12 new juniors to the game and we offered golf free of charge to the kids.
