The Operation 36 Coach Impact Award recognizes coaches who make a lasting difference through the way they teach, support, and inspire their golfers. This month, we are proud to recognize Juan Rodriguez, PGA, for the incredible impact he is making on beginner golfers through patience, encouragement, and a genuine passion for helping others succeed.
Juan was nominated by multiple golfers who shared how his coaching helped restore both their confidence and excitement for the game. One golfer described feeling frustrated, discouraged, and ready to quit golf altogether before deciding to give lessons one final chance through Juan’s Operation 36 classes.
What followed was a complete transformation.
Through clear explanations, hands-on demonstrations, and individualized feedback, Juan helped create a learning environment where golfers felt supported and capable of improving. Golfers consistently highlighted his patience, positivity, and ability to break down complex concepts in relatable ways.
One nomination shared:
“He gives 100% all the time, and he cares about his students. I can’t even put into words how much he has changed my motivation and excitement to play golf.”
Another golfer praised Juan’s flexibility and dedication during difficult personal circumstances:
“I missed some of the classes, and he made time to give me make ups.”

These numbers represent more than just progress on the scorecard, they reflect golfers gaining confidence, developing skills, and building a positive relationship with the game.

Golfers also highlighted Juan’s effective teaching style using a “Tell, Show, Do, Review” approach that helps players understand not only what to do, but why it matters.
This recognition reflects exactly what the Operation 36 program is all about — helping golfers feel successful, supported, and excited to continue their journey in the game.
