Golf: Tunnel

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

SETUP-UP:
Mark out one or more tunnels using suitable markers. Split the group into teams. Give each team one putter and one ball.

ACTIVITY:
The first player tries to putt the ball all the way through the tunnel. The team scoresa point if the player successfully completes the task. The player fetches the ball, returns it to the next player, and joins the back of the line. The game continues either for a set period of time or until a team scores a set number of points (e.g. first to 10)

COACHING POINTS

CHANGES

Easier: Begin by rolling the ball instead of putting it. Increase the width of the tunnel and/or shorten the length.

Harder: Decrease the width of the tunnel and/or increase the length. Place a target at the end of the tunnel and give bonus points for balls finishing in or on the target. Balls cannot touch any of the markers when going through the tunnel.

the Tee (White cones)

The Green (10 metres away from the Tee 9Green cones)

A water hazard (Blue cones)

A Bunker (Yellow cones)

the area between the green and the T is the fairway

ask the children some questions about where they are standing, or make them make a big splash noise when jumping into the water hazard.

Divots!:

Scatter some cones (divots) across the area, some the right way up, and some upside down. Split the group into two teams - 'Hackers and Greenkeepers' - and spread them out across the area.

On the word 'Go' the Hackers run round turning the divots upside down and the Greenkeepers must turn them the right way up.

Zone Ball:

SET-UP:
Zones are marked along the bottom of a wall, or on a bench turned on its side, or by using other suitable markers. Points are allocated to each zone as shown. Mork out hitting areas and safe areas for non-hitters. Split the group into teams.Place one club and one ball in each hitting area.

ACTIVITY:
Players take it in turn to putt the ball towards the scoring zone. Points are scored depending on which zone the ball hits. After their turn players fetch the ball and hand it to the next player. The team with the highest score after a set number of hits or a specific period of time wins.
