REINFORCING WHAT YOU LEARN THROUGH DAILY OFF-COURSE PRACTICE: Legendary golf instructor Dave Pelz talks about how he uses the almostGolf ball in his schools and how he sends students home with almostGolf balls so they can practice more frequently. The secret to improving is to groove the proper swing motions. With the almostGolf ball you can practice your golf swing in your backyard, park or schoolyard, even when you only have 15 minutes and cannot get to a golf course or driving range.

CREATING TRANSITIONS TO THE GOLF COURSE: In 2005 we first met Phil Mickelson Sr, at the PGA show in Orlando FL and talked about his San Diego Junior Golf Programs. In 2007 he was gracious enough to come to one of our shoots and tell us about how he uses the almostGolf ball to migrate his junior students from his in-school golf programs to the golf course as well as how this ball could have saved a lot of broken windows back when his son was learning to be a champion golfer in their legendary backyard.

GROWING IN-SCHOOL GOLF PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT WISCONSIN: Carolyn and her husband Steve were one of the earliest PGA pros to begin taking the almostGolf ball into schools. To date they are in over 30 schools with dramatic results. Carolyn has proven that by eliminating all the traditional barriers to entry of time, money and travel, and bringing the fun of golf to the students is the fastest, least expensive and most tractionable way to grow the game of golf. Just one example is where they had one school where they couldn't get a single girl to come out and try golf. Today, in just four years, they have 60 girls in the program.
Achievements:

CROSS PURPOSING ON-CAMPUS PLAYING FIELDS TO EXPAND GOLF PROGRAMS: As Alex Galvan started his junior golf summer camps on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, he needed more than his 30x40 yard short game area with synthetic green. Thanks to the almostGolf ball he was able to use the adjacent softball field as a driving range/course. By cross purposing the playing field, they were able to expand their program from half a day to a full day program and the kids really responded.
