Operation 36 Academy (Age 7-9) at Essex Golf & Country Club - Jul 25 2026, 1:30 p.m.

Clinic Description

The #1 roadmap to LEARN TO PLAY GOLF & track your journey towards shooting PAR (36) or better for 9 holes.

BECOME A GOLFER TODAY! The most effective development model and technology to introduce and guide beginner golfers in paying the game of golf!

The Essex Academy uses the Operation 36® framework to structure the program.  It consists of Coaching, Playing, and Training programs and is designed to teach golfers to play the game from a hole out perspective.  Each golfer will be issued a profile in the Operation 36® Mobile App to track progress through a 6 level curriculum that is designed to set appropriate objectives and challenge each student towards shooting par or better (score of 36) for 9 holes.

 

OPERATION 36® MATCHES

The Operation 36® Matches challenge golfers to shoot the score of 36 for 9 holes from 6 different yardage divisions on the course. Operation 36 Matches are held on Sunday evenings (tee-times 4:00 - 5:30pm).

The Listed Times in the Schedule for Match Nights are a generic time spread (i.e. 4:00p - 6:45p). Registrants will receive your exact tee-time a few days in advance of each Match Night (which may likely differ +/- 45 mins from the scheduled start time of 4:00p). 

 

ACADEMY CLASSES

Players will learn the game in a weekly group class where our coaches will progress students through the 6 level Operation 36® curriculum. Once a Academy Class Day & Time are selected - you hold that spot weekly for the entirety of the semester. Academy Class scheduled is recurring (same day/time for the entire semester). 

 

SUPERVISED PRACTICE

Golfers can accelerate skill development by training alongside a coach who sets up a structured and efficient practice session.

 

PRIVATE COACHING

Private 1-on-1 coaching with a tailored approach to the individual. Private coaching is a great way to accelerate skill development.

 

ACADEMY PACKAGE OPTIONS

There are different levels (amount of practice per week) at which you can be a part of the OPERATION 36 ACADEMY at Essex. The Default registration is the CHALLENGE PACKAGE (Academy Classes & Matches). Coach Luc will follow-up to confirm Academy Package choice.
