Operation 36 Golf Academy
A fun, structured program for junior and adult golfers that makes learning golf simple and social.
Operation 36 is a nationwide program that offers a clear, supportive path to improvement through classes, on-course play, and app-based progress tracking. Unlike traditional lessons, it teaches golf in reverse, starting everyone at level 1, just 25 yards from the center of the green. The goal is to shoot 36 (par) or better over 9 holes to move to level 2, which is 50 yards from the green. This process continues through 6 levels until you can shoot 36 from the full tee box.
