Two of my children (5 & 10) have recently become ‘golfers’ due to a fantastic scheme that allowed all junior members at my nearest municipal course the opportunity to receive free golf lessons. My kids absolutely loved these sessions mainly due to how good the instructor was with them all.
Unfortunately this all came to a halt yesterday. You can imagine how devastated all the parents have been. I don’t even have the minerals to break it to my kids yet. The WhatsApp groups feel like someone has just died, grief pouring out of every message. It’s been a tough day.
Which brings me back to the forum.
Seen as tomorrow’s session has been indefinitely cancelled I am having to wing my tribe on my own. I have clubs and a basket of balls and bit of turf in my garden.
So the question is, can anyone recommend some tried and tested fun games to play in the garden with them that revolves around golf?
Better yet, some fun games I could take onto the course? We have a round booked in the late afternoon and I normally let them putt out when I’m near the green but I’m hoping I can lay down some sort of structure to it this time. They normally just try to get the ball in the hole before the other one does. It’s a basically speed golf and complete chaos.
There’s a tiny bit of desperation oozing out of this post, I put all my eggs in one basket when it came to my children’s golf ‘tuition’ and now I’m at a loose end bang on time for the summer holidays. For someone that’s relatively new to the game it’s daunting to all of a sudden try and take on the role of ‘teacher’ (only just learnt what going back on my line / in line with the flag meant).
Surely there has to be a small target audience on this forum that can relate to this thread. I know there’s a few coffin dodgers on here but once upon a time you old boys were in my shoes at some point![Winking face :wink: 😉](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
Thanks for reading and any help appreciated![Thumbs up :thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png)
