Grow The Game Through Networking



The Golf Academy Network Association™ has been established to provide golf instructional destinations to golfers traveling throughout the U.S. Much like golf courses that utilize a reciprocal system, this network is designed to do the same for golf academies in an effort to drive customers to your business when in your area; ie business travel, vacation etc.
 
There are hundreds if not thousands of small golf schools/academies around the country owned and operated by professionals, instructors and business entrepreneurs that cater to a relatively small audience and by establishing a network of academies it will provide a platform to showcase your “GANA™ Academy” to a wider audience.

In addition, the respective clients/students of all participating GANA™ members will become part of a nationwide family of establishments and will add instant value to the perks each academy already offers.

How it works:

To be a member of the GANA™ you must provide the following:


      -    Minimum of a 10% discount on services offered to anyone visiting your facility who are clients/students from a participating GANA™ facility.

     -     Provide a membership card to your students so as to be presented at participating facilities.

     -     Some % of savings with at least ONE local golf course that you are affiliated with in your area.

     -     Provide at least 1 person (and contact info) as a point of contact at your facility that will be kept current on all GANA™ activity.

Like many small businesses, Golf Academies face the same hurdles in trying to gain exposure as well as create effective marketing and advertising. By establishing the Golf Academy Network Association™ our goal is to build a strong network of reputable golf teaching facilities that can feed off one another as well as help one another grow while at the same time growing the game of golf!

Cost to join:

$49.99 annually


What you will receive as a member:
  
  •  Listed on the Golf Academy Network Association™ website (set to launch 12/10/14)
  • All members of the GANA™ family of facilities will have links on their website that link to all other member websites.
  • Ability to update information on the GANA™ website via the GANA™ administrator (all                 changes will be current and updated within a max of 48 hrs)
  • Discounts on golf equipment for yourself or clients/students through the GANA™ home office. It’s as easy as a phone call!
