Details of Program

  • Based on book by John Bell, PGA
  • Utilize a towel to learn movements, flexibility, supported by work with the golf club.
  • Conducted indoors almost exclusively, generally in clubhouse
  • 10:1 ratio max
  • Very socially based, fitting the “demand decision” of women and recreational golfers (enjoyment, social come first, then performance; 70/30 women/men)
  • Classes run 3 days/week for 6 weeks (total of 18 sessions); classes only 1 hour each (30 mins of stretching/strength training, 30 mins of drills from the book); there are homework drills.

A Yamaha Grant was used to purchase the following strengthening and stretching equipment: six sets of stretch bands, four large balls and six sets of small hand held weights.

Results of Program

Over the spring and summer: Member retention for the TCC bottom line and the community. Participants say they have met new friends, found hope for their game and a desire to remain a part of the Club. (If one of these members has been “saved” to the Club, the value for just one year is over $10k in value to TCC!)

Total Revenue Generated: 3 years of success

  • 1st Year: 1 class, 3 days/week - 7 ppl - 18 sessions, $189 (6 wmn, 1 man) (Gross Rev: $1323)
  • 2nd Year: 2 classes, 3 days/wk - 9 ppl in AM class, 5 ppl PM class (Gross Rev: $2646)
  • 3rd Year: 2 classes, 3 days/wk - 10 ppl in both AM & PM classes (both full) (Gross Rev: $3780)

Recommendations

John Bell, PGA gave Jim permission to use the book and the name of it as a title for his classes; strongly recommend that if you wish to use the book, you choose a different name out of respect for its author.
