We used a Yamaha Player Development Grant to purchase a demo set of clubs and some Orange Whips to provide equipment to people participating in our Couples Wine Clinics and Ladies Wine Clinics. We wanted people to be able to attend and participate even if they didn’t have equipment.

Results of Program

Trial run of program brought 4 couples of all abilities. They loved it and played each week during the program to work on things they learned. 3 of 4 couples signed up for more lessons

Total Revenue Generated: $500 plus green fees to golf course

Recommendations

Couples enjoyed spending time together and learning with the men and women separately and together at times during the clinic. They all played/practiced more golf during our time together and wanted to bring more friends and family to learn golf.
