operation 36
Operation 36 is a step-by-step learning model designed to make golf more approachable. Instead of starting from the tee box, you begin close to the hole and move back as your skills and confidence grow. We use Operation 36 across all Carolina ForeHER programs to create a clear, supportive path for beginners and developing players.

How it works
STEP 1: Play for One Clear Goal
Learn the basics in our workshops, then join our events to log official scores. Your goal is to score a total of 36 or less over 9 holes.
Step 2: START CLOSE TO THE HOLE
You’ll start each hole from a closer distance (level 1 is 25 yards) instead of the tee box—so the game feels shorter and more approachable.
step 3: Move Back as You Improve
When you score 36 or better, you move back to the next distance. You’ll keep progressing as you improve, with no pressure to rush.the next level.
