SWINGING THE CLUBS To enhance safety and assist play, clubs should need to be swung above waist height on the back swing or follow-through. To understand how far to swing the club in order to hit the ball the required distance encourage players to firstly play games by rolling (putting games) or throwing (chipping games) the ball (see Treasure Island.) Always encourage players to have a practice (rehearsal) swing in order to ?brush? the ground with the club before introducing the ball.

PENDULUM SWING Pupils should be encouraged to try equal back and forward strokes of varying lengths to gauge the distance the ball will travel.
