Golf: Simon says

Scatter some cones (divots) across the area, some the right way up, and some upside down. Split the group into two teams - 'Hackers and Greenkeepers' - and spread them out across the area.

On the word 'Go' the Hackers run round turning the divots upside down and the Greenkeepers must turn them the right way up.

To encourage the pupil to develop a feel for basic control when putting.

Pupils practice rolling the ball towards a target as if playing bowls to develop a feel for the length of swing to achieve the distancfe required.
