Best range promotion: The highlight of the season for our practice facility was hosting the midwest regional final for the drive, chip, and putt contest. We had the pleasure of hosting 64 boys and girls ranging from ages 7-15, with the winners of each age division advancing to the finals next year at Augusta National. With our double sided practice facility we were able to take advantage of one side to accomadate all competitors and spectators while multiple media outlets filmed the action.

Special programs:  This spring we hosted an area wide junior clinic that included over 200 students from a local elementary school. The clinic featured The Dennis Walters golf show teaching children the importance of determination and never giving up on your dreams. With the clinic we brought in instructors for the local First Tee Chapter to speak and inform the students of the programs in place for the season.
