Field Goal Golf This is a target contest which tests the ability of the student to hit shots of different trajectories.
The students attempt to hit the ball through space or target zones at different heights established by placing rope or string across goal post standards, trees, etc.
Each space has an assigned point value depending on the width of the zone.
A variation is to award bonus points for scoring in all target zones in order (1-3-5).
Recommended club is #7 iron using a half-swing technique. Use line formations with each student taking a shot at each target.
Leap Frog
This is a game to enhance carry yardage and distance control. This game can be played using the mini or full swing. Divide athletes into teams of 2 - 8 players. To start the game, define an initial target or boundary line for the first player to land on or over. Teams will alternate shots, attempting to land their ball over the subsequent ball hit.
Points are scored when a player lands his/her ball on or over the previous hit ball. If a ball comes to rest short of the target, no points will be awarded. The team scoring the most successful "leaps" will be determined the winner.
This practice game can also be played independently, you against yourself.
Golf Bocce Bocce is a game of skill and strategy. The object is for one team to get as many of their balls closer to the hole or target than the opposing team's closest ball. There may be anywhere from two to four to eight players on a team. Each player is given two balls. Each player must then take turns hitting the ball toward the hole or target. The players are given points for the balls rolled closest to the target. Players may also strike other balls to move closer to the target. Balls may also be displaced by the balls of other players.
