Junior Programs

Ignition Program
Progressing junior golfers to par or better!

The Ignition Program is a great program to get your child, ages 6 - 12, involved with the game of golf. The academy is structured using the Operation 36 Junior Development Platform!

The Op36 Platform consists of 6 levels with 12 badges (subjects) per level. When the junior can demonstrate objectives to coaches they will earn badges on their bag tag and will be able to track and log their progress in the mobile app which also provides a points leaderboard of all Academy members.

Each junior that enrolls in the academy will be issued a hat, bag tag, and profile in our new Academy Op36 Mobile App.
