Raleigh, NC – Raleigh based golf player development program, Operation 36, announces their 2021 Top 50 Golf Coach Awards.
The Operation 36 Top 50 Golf Coach list is the only one of its kind that uses quantitative measures to determine who is making the biggest impact on golf through their program. These coaches were very effective in creating new golfers, by providing a complete and motivating environment for beginners to learn to play the game.
This award is backed by data collected throughout 2021. Golf coaches are evaluated by the amount of playing opportunities they provide throughout the year, application of the Operation 36 curriculum, assessing golfer’s progress throughout the season, and the use of online social tools to encourage golfers on their journey.
Additionally, Operation 36 announced its first ever Master Top 50 Award. This award is given to coaches who have three years as a Top 50 Coach. It is seen as the “Hall of Fame,” of Operation 36 coaches. The full list of the Top 50 and Master Top 50 Golf Coaches can be found here.
Ryan Dailey, Operation 36 COO and Co-Founder said, “It has always been our long-term vision to be able to recognize coaches that are measurably having a positive impact on the golf industry. We can confidently say that this year’s Top 50 Coaches and the 30 that earned Master Top 50 are delivering an amazing experience to their families based on measurable results. We are proud to be associated with these individuals who are leaders in our industry and are carrying the torch to the goal of creating 1 million golfers by 2025.”.
Matt Reagan, Operation 36 CEO and Co-Founder, said, “Beginner golfers deserve a complete program environment led by coaches who care to guide them on their golf journey. Learning golf should be a motivating experience for all. The Top 50 coaches are leveraging every tool available in the Operation 36 Program and are measurably growing the game. We couldn’t be more proud to be associated with these coaches and are very appreciative for their support of the #1MGolfers Mission.”

About Operation 36
Operation 36 is the most effective developmental program to teach beginners how to play golf. All new players begin on the course, and instead of starting at the tee box, they play from 25 yards away from the hole. Once the player shoots par (36) from 25 yards, they back up to 50 yards, and so on, until they are shooting even par (36) from the full tee box. Participants engage in weekly classes taught by golf professionals and all progress of the golfers is tracked in the Operation 36 Platform.
The Operation 36 mission is to create 1 million new golfers over the next five years, and they want to help coaches with introducing new golfers and retaining them for the long term.
