Our program focuses on developing skills whilst keeping the kids entertained and most importantly, having fun!
The Kooyonga coaching team is excited to announce the introduction of Operation 36. This will be the framework for our junior golf program and consists of coaching, playing and training. Each golfer will be issued a profile in the Operation 36 Mobile App to track progress through a six level curriculum that is designed to set appropriate objectives and challenge each student towards shooting par (score of 36) or better for 9 holes.
This is an early introduction into the game and first step into developing the necessary fundamentals required to build a strong foundation for the game. Using the Operation 36, this squad will develop a good grip and setup and early swing concepts to get them hooked. This is the first stage of our long term development plan so juniors will also develop their agility, balance and coordination drills to have strong fundamental movement skills by using Titleist Performance Institute object control based tasks.
