Lonnie Poole Little League

Registration for Spring 2025 Opens Wednesday, January 22

Fall 2024 Lonnie Poole Little League is a 9-week junior golf development program, specializing in the development of new golfers. The program utilizes the award-winning Operation36 system, fostering a fun and challenging learning experience for all skill levels.

Our 9 week program consists of six (6) 1-Hour Practices and four (4) 9-Hole Matches. New players in the program will test their skills on 9-holes from 25 yards on each hole. If a player can shoot a cumulative score of 36 or better on 9-holes, they pass and advance to the next farthest distance! The progression goes from 25 yards, 50 yards, 100 yards, 150 yards, 200 yards, then to our full length tee boxes.

This system is a great way to get new players on course experience and start learning to get the ball into the hole from the beginning of their golf careers! All participants also get full access to the Operation 36 App, which is loaded with learning tools, videos, and games to play in practice. For more information on the Operation 36 model and what’s included, visit: https://operation36.golf/the-curriculum/

Class Structure

Players will have a regular practice day/time each week, and will be grouped within their class according to skill level and current goals. A typical group includes 4 – 6 players led by a coach on the driving range, putting and short-game practice greens, or on the course. Coaches will utilize games and skill-based exercises to cover all aspects of the game and help prepare the players for their matches.
