About
Junior Group Classes – Westminster (Legacy Ridge & Walnut Creek) includes golf instruction through FUNdamentals classes, the Operation 36 program, 9-hole Play Days, and optional Skill Booster classes. The Operation 36 program uses measurable progression starting from 25 yards and moving back to 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards, and several 9-hole Play Days where juniors try to shoot a score of 36 for 9 holes. For FUNdamentals classes, clubs are available for participants, so it is not required that they have their own equipment.
• Ages: 4–18 years old
• Schedule: FUNdamentals classes run in four- or six-week sessions with 60-minute classes once per week, and Operation 36 classes run in six-week sessions with 60-minute classes once per week.
• Price: FUNdamentals six-week classes cost $300 and four-week classes cost $200; each six-week Operation 36 class costs $450 and includes specified 9-hole Play Days with green fees included.
Trent Wearner Golf states that its Colorado Golf Performance Academies are open to the public and that average group size is between 3–4 students, with coaching tailored to the individual. For Operation 36 9-hole Play Days at Walnut Creek and Hyland Hills, each junior must be accompanied by an adult, green fees are included in the Operation 36 class cost, and there are no make-up dates for any sessions that are missed. Optional Skill Booster classes are available to further strengthen skills.
