SET-UP:
Divide the group into teams, each player is given a ball. Each team starts from a set position marked out by the leader.
ACTIVITY:
Players putt their first ball 2/3 meters away then attempts to putt each subsequent ball so that it travels past the next until all are in a row. Ideally each ball should be equally spaced from the previous. This can be done as a team game, using more balls.
CHANGES
Easier: Team putts a very short disttance.
Harder: The first putt rolled a greater distance away. Mark out the finish areas with tees.
