The Swans Have Landed — And One Already Has a Hole in One

Sunday afternoons don't get much better than this.
A group of lady beginner golfers teed up their third session at Stoke Rochford Golf Club last weekend — but their first using the Operation 36 framework. Level 1. Twenty-five yards. Chip it on, build from there.
Simple. Structured. And — as it turned out — spectacular.
Because on her very first session, one of the group holed out for a hole in one.
You genuinely couldn't script it.
The group have already named themselves the Swans, and if Sunday is anything to go by, they're going to be ones to watch. Operation 36 is built on the principle that every golfer — regardless of age, background or ability — deserves a clear, achievable pathway into the game. Start small, succeed early, progress with confidence.
It works. The Swans are proof.
Stoke Rochford is one of the finest parkland courses in the East Midlands, designed by Colonel Stafford Vere Hotchkin — the man behind Woodhall Spa's legendary Hotchkin course. Not a bad place to fall in love with golf.
Watch this space. The Swans are just getting started.
