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.
