Guest Speakers, Breakout Groups & 9 Holes
After attending the Level 1 Certification, I feel confident in executing 9 hole events and engaging academy classes at my club. It was also great to see the complete lifecycle of a student going through the program. What a great two days.
The Op36 Level 1 training has better prepared me for growing our club Jr. Program and Adult Ladies Program. The hands-on and in-person experiences were well worth the expense. I feel this allows me to roll out a "New and Improved" Operation 36 Program this year.
Each event is led by a team of Golf Professionals on staff at Operation 36 HQ. These pros have run the program successfully and helped thousands of Golf Pros execute successful programs.
