High five

SET-UP:
Three zones are marked up a wall numbered one, three and five. Mark out hitting areas and safe areas for non-hitters. Split the group into teams. Place one iron and some balls in each hitting area.

ACTIVITY:
Players take it in turn to hit a ball towards the wall. The aim is to get the ball as high up the wall as possible and the ultimate is to hit the 'high five' zone. After a shot the player returns to the safe area. When the teams have hit all their balls, the clubs are put down so that the balls can be collected safely. The team with the highest score after a set number fo hits or a specific period of time wins.
