Details of Program
The goal was to remove some of the expense of buying clubs and to rent out US Kids Golf clubs for kids participating in PGAJLG.
We rented out 8 sets for the year for $20 a set payable to MVJGA 501 ©3. Depending on size, a new set of US Kids can cost anywhere from $129 to $199.
A Yamaha Grant was used to help purchase the US Kids Golf sets.
Results of Program
We achieved our goal of removing a barrier to participation by giving families a less expensive option for equipment. Many of our youth have brothers and sisters in the program so the rental program made it possible that parents don’t have to purchase three new sets.
The view at Polson Bay is basically any youth-related activity gets more bodies through the door and to the facility. From a personal standpoint, 8 more kids in Junior League correlates to more teaching revenue for me.
Recommendations
My recommendation would be to do exactly what we did and try to purchase some clubs and then rent them out on yearly basis to youth. This will keep kids involved in the program. Similar to skiing and other youth sports, once they are fully committed they will end up purchasing their own equipment. A short term expense can turn into a long term gain.
