STAMFORD GOLF CLUB
THE GOAL: CREATE NEW MEMBERS
Many clubs worry about long-term sustainability due to aging memberships and empty tee sheets. Stamford Golf Club faced a clear challenge: they needed a proven system to attract younger, diverse golfers and revive a struggling Ladies’ section at the club.
HOW WE HELPED
PGA Professional Mark Smith implemented Operation 36 by Golf Genius, the world’s leading golfer development platform. By using a 6-level curriculum that starts 25 yards from the hole, Mark provided beginners with a pathway that builds immediate confidence and skill.
IMPACT
Operation 36 has transformed the club’s membership strategy and bottom line:
A year ago, a child turned up on his bike asking to learn golf. I put him through the Op 36 program, and today he is Level 6. His dad was so impressed they both gave up football to join our club as full members. Our junior section is thriving, and I credit Op 36 entirely—it is the tool to help save golf.
