Golf: Time Keeper

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

SET-UP:
Mark out several 'clockfaces' using cones, paper or other suitable markers. Place a target (cone, bean bag, golf hole etc) at the centre of each 'clockface'. Split the group into teams and send each team to a 'clockface'. Teams stand at 'one o'clock' in a line. 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 they move onto 2 o'clock but if they miss they stay at 1 o'clock and join the back of the line
The second player putts, then the third, and so on. Players cannot move round until they have hit the target. The first player who makes it round to 12 o'clock wins

COACHING POINTS

CHANGES

Easier: Decrease the size of the 'clockface'. Once one player in the team hits the target the whole team moves round. Reduce the number of points round the 'clockface' - just use the quarter hour.

Harder:Increase the size of the clockface. Set the clockface up on sloping ground. If players miss at any point they go back to the beginning.

Tri Golf Putting Games

Boule:

This game can be played in any open area. Use markers to identify a start point for each team
Split the group into teams (preferably of even numbers). Give each group one iron. Give each player 2,3 or 4 balls (players should mark their balls to tell them from others in the group. Give each group a yellow ball / football / cone to be used as the ?jack?

ACTIVITY:
Leaders place the 'jack' a suitable distance away from the start point
Players take it in turn to chip their balls as close to the 'jack' as possible until all the balls have been hit. The player closest to the 'jack'? scores one point for every ball that is closer than any of his/her opponents. The player with the most points after a set period of time or number of 'ends' wins.

Tri Golf - Chipping Games

Snooker:

SET-UP:
Place a linbe of markers to represent the colours red, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black - with the red marker closest to the designated target. Split the group into teams and send each team to a marked out area. Givwe each team one club and one ball.

ACTIVITY:
Tstarting from the red marker, the first player tries to 'pot' a red i.e. putt the ball in or on the target for one point. If successful, they then play from a colour - the points they get depends on the colour they choose - i.e. yellow = 2, green = 3, brown = 4, ect. If they score, the player carries on alternating between the red and a colour. Whne they miss, their score is added to the team total and control passes to the next player. The team with the highest score after a set period of time wins.
