“Shoot Par Now” is based on the concept of scoring 36 for 9 holes of golf.  Many new golf players are introduced to golf the wrong way, many start learning with a driver, a tee, and a big swing with recommendations from non-professional instructors. This is the worst thing any new player can do to learn how to play.

“Shoot Par Now” is based on learning how to play from close to the green, learning to work your way back to the tee box with good technique and fundamentals.  Players learn how to hit little shots, little swings with shorter lofted clubs to the green, learn to hit approach shots, learn to pitch, learn to chip, learn to putt first.  Make golf fun, make the first-course experience enjoyable, don’t create the frustration cycle from the start like most other players experience.

“Shoot Par Now” is based on 10 levels, each level requires a new player to complete an on-course playing experience of scoring 36 for 9 holes.  The first level requires a score of 36 for 9 holes from 25 yards, the second level is 50 yards, the third level is 100 yards, fourth is 150 yards and fifth is 200 yards. Levels 6-10 are tee box levels when you reach level 10, you are a very good Championship player.  (Low Single Digit Handicap Player / College Player / Professional Player) 

“Shoot Par Now” is powered by Operation 36, a web-based application platform that can be accessed on smartphones. The Op36 App is available to all students in the Shoot Par Now Arlen Bento Jr. Golf Academy.  The Op36 App is very comprehensive, it offers tracking of playing with course GPS, it offers tracking of practices so coaches can monitor improvement, it offers in App lessons, skills, fitness, nutrition, and many other tools.
