Operation 36 is the #1 way to learn to play golf and see measurable improvement. Instead of starting at the full-tee box, golfers start 25 yards from the hole and try to shoot even par (score of 36) for 9 holes. Once you accomplish that goal, you back you up to the next division (50 yards from the hole). There are 10 divisions in total to try and shoot 36 from. It is that simple! We developed the Operation 36 Mobile App to help guide you on your golf improvement journey. Your entire journey (Playing, Training, and Goals Accomplished) are tracked in the Op 36 App. Every action you log allows you to share your stats with your golf professional to guide you on your journey. There are 525+ Golf Facilities in the Op 36 Network around the world that are centering their programs around the Op 36 format and technology. Are you a complete beginner?
