The Ocean Course at Hokuala offers a unique program that helps golfers of all skill levels become better players
Operation 36 is a fun and effective on-course developmental program that teaches juniors , men , women and beginners how to play the game . The program incorporates a unique model where participants begin from 25 yards away from the hole . Once a student shoots even-par 36 or better , they move out to 50 yards , and so on , until they shoot even par for nine holes .
“ Operation 36 is a wonderful program for golfers new to the game , but even low handicappers can benefit by coming to an eight-week program ,” says the Ocean Course ’ s Director of Golf Instruction Kellie Akana . “ Normally , when you give a golf lesson it ’ s just on the driving range and you ’ re not out on the golf course . This way teaches rules , etiquette , and all the skills a golfer will need to go out and play .”
Operation 36 clinics are scheduled throughout the year .
“ We have weekly clinics on Mondays starting at 1 p . m .,” Akana said . “ So if anybody is on the island , they ’ re more than welcome to join us .” ..................................................................... > CLICK HERE to register for Operation 36 .
