RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Hi Flyin' Tiger,
A lot of clubs offer different degrees of what you listed, ie, free club trainer, free club instructor, etc. I'm sure that's part of the reason the ama is as large as it is. I know...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

I guess instead of sponsoring as much large things that most of us will never see, muncie, the model show etc, why not sponsor some things that all of us can see and use on a club level?
