Best range promotion: We offer a variety of programs on our practice facility throughout the season. We host 3-4 corporate clinics which range from 10-40 participants at each clinic. These are usually paired with a food and beverage component. We try to incorporate special events, in 2014 we did a short game event with Roger Cleveland from the Callaway Golf Company. We offer 2 week long junior camps with 15-25 juniors in attendance at each camp. Individual lessons are give throughout the entire season. When the practice facility closes for the winter, we build an indoor hitting area, with FlightScope technology to utilize ball flight.
Special programs: The facility has paired with Dennis Walters to offer an area wide Junior Clinic. This has allowed for 50-60 local students to spend an hour with Dennis, and another hour with the TPC Boston professional staff with hands on instruction. We have also paired with the local YMCA for a integration (special needs) golf program. We host 2 intrgration clinic throughout the season where 15-25 students spend 1 1/2 hours on the practice facility and 1 1/2 hours on the golf course. We also donate the course to the Hockomock area YMCA for an “adopt-a-charity” event which typically raises $75,000-$100,000 each year for the program.
