Tracking Results

An important part of what we do is measuring our results. We collect feedback surveys from parents, coaches and kids as part of our three point assessment system. By collecting and tracking our results over time, we’re able to establish patterns and improve so our kids have the best possible opportunities available to them. An important focal point is the impact we’re having on the kids. The student survey submitted by our kids every season includes quantitative assessments that details how each child feels they improved on different life and social skills. The quantitative assessment assigns a number to their improvement which we can use to develop trends over time. We also measure our progress qualitatively by asking the kids to provide examples of how them demonstrated a life skill at school and at home.

We use the results we collect through our feedback system to implement improvements in our online and in person coach training which, in turn, leads to a change in how we teach our golf classes.

Girls Place empowers girls to grow courageous, strong and self sufficient. We inspire our girls to celebrate themselves—their minds, their hearts, and their physical well being. Girls Place girls become independent women who embrace diversity, express their ideas, rise above obstacles, enhance their communities, and lead those around them. At Girls Place and Gator Junior Golf, we believe that all girls should be inspired, challenged and nurtured to become their very best. Our golf program with Girls Place empowers young girls to learn and develop from the life virtues that the game of golf teaches. We offer this program free of charge to both Girls Place and their families— the reason is simple; we want to deliver the opportunity to learn the game of a lifetime regardless of a family’s ability to pay. We seek to remove the barriers to entry for golf, so we provide everything a child needs to participate in class, including golf clubs and equipment.

Reichert House is a program which empowers participants to set and achieve individual goals by providing educational opportunities, life skills, and vocational training. They also provide structured support service designed to develop the necessary skills to become future contributors of our society. Their mission is to maintain a facility that offers programs where youth can learn about themselves through a personal development curriculum, coupled with goal setting skills that will guide them to become exemplary citizens of tomorrow. Gator Junior Golf and Reichert House partnered up to serve golf classes for their kids as a reward for good grades and good behavior. Reichert House provides transportation to the golf course and our expert coaches deliver instruction. Golf equipment is provided, so we’re able to overcome nearly all barriers to entry for the game of golf for their kids.

Shands Children’s Hospital

Once a month, select members of our team visit Shand’s Children’s Hospital to teach the game of golf to terminally ill children. At Gator Junior Golf Association, we believe all children should have the opportunity to learn the game. Attending the hospital each month gives us the opportunity to exemplify our mission: Grow the Game.
