  Total Golf Improvement Center

  • Cordova Golf Course, Sacramento Ca

  • Founder and Director

    • May 2014 - Sep 2016
    • Cordova Golf Course, Sacramento Ca

    Together, with my Head Golf Pro father and my marketing and graphic designer wife, we built a teaching school called Total Golf Improvement Center. We developed fun and exciting game improvement programs for junior golfers and adults, focusing on youth development from middle school, high school and into college. We implemented programs such as The First Tee and Eagle Tee Golf to give players a holistic perspective on the game of golf. Our junior program grew from zero to 25 weekly attendees. Each week was new and creative ways to build on each child's individual skill. We had 5 main coaches and a few junior coaches in training that helped run stations and drills each week. Our marketing tactics included a Total Golf Improvement Center website with online lessons scheduling, banners, yard signs and posters. But, our biggest success came from word-of-mouth referrals.
