Golf: Star jump

To encourage the pupil to develop a feel for basic control when putting.

Pupils practice rolling the ball towards a target as if playing bowls to develop a feel for the length of swing to achieve the distancfe required.

SET-UP:
Mark out one or more courses of 'Islands' using chalk, string, mats, hoops or other suitable markers. Split the group into several teams and send each team to an 'Island'. Give one ball to each member of the group.

ACTIVITY:
Players in each team take it in turn to try and toss the ball so that it lands on, or finishes on an 'Island'. When successful, the team moves to that Island. The first team to get to the end 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
