Golf: Island Hopper

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

SET-UP:
Place a number of 'islands' on the practice area using hoops, cones etc. Divide players into teams.

ACTIVITY:
The first player in each team attempts to chip the ball from the tee onto the island. If successful the whole team move to that island and the next player in the team then attempts to chip the ball onto the next island.
If a player misses then the next player tries until one member of the team has been successful.

COACHING POINTS

CHANGES

Easier: Islands closer together.

Harder: Islands greater distance apart. Set up hazards e.g. bunkers, water.
