Golf: Setting up a Tri Golf Course

To encourage the pupil to focus on their intending land point when chipping. Place a circle of tees, hoop etc around one to two paces onto the green. Encourage the pupils to start by throwing the ball underarm to develop the feel for the required distance then move onto a chipping club and encourage the pupils to land in this circle and monitor how often they hit the land point and to the roll distance with created with various clubs. [Start Golf Chipping]

SET-UP: Mark out a putting course using suitable makers to show the start and finishing point for each hole. Split the group into teams and sent each team to a hole. Give each team a putter and each player a ball. ACTIVITY: Players in each team take it in turn to put. PLayers putt until the get the ball inside the target. the lowest score on each hole is counted.The team with the lowest total score wins.

The design and creation of your Tri-Golf course is completely up to you or the children who are going to play it.Things to consider when designing the course are the participants age, ability, experience, knowledge; condition of the area, i.e. slopes, undulations, etc.; space available and format to be played. General guidelines are that each Tri-Golf hole should measure in the region of 20-50 metres in length, with a green approximately 2-4 metres in diameter.Teeing areas can be shown using markers, cones, etc. and should be approx. 2 metres in width. See the example of a Tri-Golf hole in coaching point

Each team is divided einto 4 groups and each group begins in one of the bays. Each player takes it in turn to try and land a ball in the scoring zone. Each player has 5 attempts. All points scored from all attempts equal the total for each group.The team total is the total points scored for all groups added together.
