DESCRIPTION

? To encourage the pupil to develop consistent rhythm to the stroke and control the distance.

Pupils begin by attempting to hit a 5-6 pace putt, away from a hole, paying attention to the length and pace of the stroke.

Around the Clock:

SET-UP:
Mark out one or more 'clockfaces' using suitable markers. Place a marker at the centre of each 'clockface'. Split the group into teams and send each team to a 'clockface'. Teams line up at 1 o'clock. Give each team one club and give each player one ball.

ACTIVITY:
The first player putts the ball towards the target. If they hit the target the team moves onto 2 o'clock but if they miss they stay at 1 o'clock. The second player putts, then the second, then the third and so on. Teams cannot move round until they hit the target. The first team that makes it round to 12 o'clock wins.
