Operation 36 Description
Operation 36 Powered by First Tee Utah. What Does it mean to be “Powered by First Tee”? First Tee programming isn’t just about golf. It’s about using the innate lessons that golf offers to intentionally incorporate life skills into our golf curriculum. At each age group, participants engage with the 5 Key Commitments: Pursuing Goals, Growing through Challenge, Collaborating with Others, Building Positive Self-Identity, and Using Good Judgement, while focusing on mastering golf fundamentals and building upon a golf skill foundation as they advance within the program. Brent Shaver is the lead coach for this session.
Brent is the Director of Instruction at Eaglewood Golf Course, Level 3 First Tee Coach, and Lead Junior Golf Coach at The Country Club of Salt Lake City. Brent began his Jr. Golf Instruction at The Charlie Yates Golf Course at East Lake in Atlanta, GA in 1999. He served on the board of Directors for First Tee St. Petersburg, FL and is a member of the Utah Section of the PGA of America.
