Welcome to this week’s golf practice!

The below activity card outlines a game you can play at the golf course, golf practice range, or anywhere you have space, to further master the golf skills that you’re learning in your MyGolf program.

The minimal equipment required and the steps to set up the game can all be found on the front of the activity card as well as suggestions of how you can modify the game to challenge yourself or make it that little bit easier. On the back you will find a section to keep record of all your attempts, and becomes a neat way to track your progress and challenge yourself for next time.

Take a look and have a tee-rific time!

Where do I feel that?

• When we feel emotions we normally get clues from our body that tell us what we are feeling. These clues from our body can help us identify feelings before they bubble over and get out of control. The more we get to know our own bodies reactions to emotions the quicker we will be able to communicate how we are feeling to people that can help and the better equipped we’ll be to manage our feelings.

• Draw an outline of a person’s body.

• For each emotion below think about where you feel it in your body? Label the outline to show where you experience each emotions. For example if you are worried do you feel sick in your stomach?

  • Sad
