Please indicate any Growth of the Game initiatives your facility/academy has launched over the past year (please give specifics on such programs):
Outside of offering private lessons over 7 hitting bays and a putting studio utilizing a WellPutt BigTilt XL Putting Green and Quintic, we also offer Custom Club Fitting where we utilize AllFit brand agnostic shaft tips and all of the major brands so that we can offer the best fit possible for all of our clients. We also sponsor junior golfers who are unable to afford top level instruction and coaching. We work with these fortunate juniors at the rate of $100 per month until they graduate from high school. We also offer beginner clinics once a month where our junior staff instructors can help newer golfers get exposed to the technology that we have to offer and hopefully get a better appreciation for this great game.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
I have created numerous programs for all levels of golfers over my 16 years in business. Ranging from beginner clinics to hosting Top 100 instructors. Currently we offer beginner clinics once a month where we give 5 beginning golfers the opportunity to come in for a 90 minute clinic covering Driver, Irons, Wedges and Putting with our different instructors. We value a higher end 1 on 1 atmosphere as we are a high-end facility and the clients seem to love the format. Our bread and butter programming is our 2-2 6 month program where the student gets two private lessons a month and two 45 minute practice sessions utilizing either our ForeSight GC Quads or our Trackman IO Duo launch monitors paired with SwingCatalyst video. We also offer TEam NorCal which includes 18 practices per month and 18 putting practices on our Big Tilt Putting Green per month. It also includes a membership to Draw More Circles stat tracking and quarterly golf balls and swag with our logo.
