Operation 36 – 

Operation 36 teaches golf in reverse, starting everyone at level 1, just 25 yards from the center of the green. The goal is to shoot 36 (par) or better over 9 holes to move to level 2, which is 50 yards from the green. This process continues through 6 levels until you can shoot 36 from the full tee box.

This program is hosted at The Nest facility, a par 3 executive golf course located next to Eagle Crest Golf Club in Clifton Park, NY.
