"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 and the many milestones the app provides to keep the student motivated and engaged throughout their golf journey. What a great two days."

"The Op 36 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. Our club has offered Op 36 for the last 4 years, I feel this class/certification allows me to roll out a "New and Improved" Operation 36 Program this year."
