Sample Activities:

 

·        ON THE GREEN - This game consists of six hitting stations, one for a wood, 3 iron, 5 iron, 7 iron, wedge, and putter. Set up five tee areas and one practice green. Group students into foursomes, and assign one group to each station. Provide one set of clubs at each station along with one plastic golf ball per student. Students hit the plastic ball for accuracy and distance at each station. Mark distances using cones, and award points for accuracy. Students play three rounds (five stations equals a round) recording their scores on a modified scorecard. Discuss when accuracy is more important than distance.

Variation: Add obstacles, sand traps, or water.

Variation: Take students to a Par 3 golf course. Divide the class into foursomes to play regulation golf. During the activity, circulate, and observe play. After all students have completed a round, review the rules and strategies associated with the game. Students write a brief reaction to their day on the links.
