Sometimes using an already-proven program works best, which is why Operation 36 is integral to Kevin’s junior and his ladies programming at The Carolina Country Club. Since 2016, the first year he introduced Operation 36, 800 participants have enrolled in his semester long classes and, and 265 of them have been part of the semester long classes at The Carolina Country Club since 2021. Operation 36 is currently in more than 700 locations worldwide and has over 2800 coaches in the network. It is a long-term development program that is based on on-course work and an education curriculum. The subjects or skills include posture, power, grip, ball flight, greens reading, alignment, putting, mastery, honor, fitness, nutrition and playing. There are six levels or ranks for each of the twelve subjects. On the course, the golfers start from 25 yards and must shoot 36 or better to move to 50 yards, then to 100 yards, progressing all the way back to the adult tees. This highly effective method emphasizes the importance of scoring and learning how to get the ball in the hole.

Education and helping others to learn has become a priority for Kevin. He is on the CPGA Section Coaching and Teaching Committee and is the Mountains Chapter Education chair. He was a headline presenter at the 2024 CPGA Big Show Spring Teaching Summit in Greensboro, NC and at the 2024 Mountains Chapter Spring Teaching Summit at the Cliffs course in Asheville, NC. At the 2023 CPGA Fall Teaching Summit at Pinehurst Resort Kevin was a presenter teaming up with Ryan Daily with a live lesson. In May 2023, Kevin was a featured presenter at the CPGA Mountains Chapter at the Orange Whip HQ.
