OPERATION 36 is a developmental golf program designed to guide a new golfer from playing their first round, to shooting par or better for 9 holes.

There is a clear and structured plan for beginners. Students learn a structured curriculum in a small group setting in an hour class each week, then test their skills on the golf course for a 9–hole event every 2 weeks.

The objective being that they all start playing on Level 1 (25 meters) from the hole with the goal of beating 36 shots or less over 9 holes. If they complete that objective the student gets to play from Level 2 (50 meters) for the next event.
