Golf Unit Culminating Event Field Trip
At the end of our golf unit, we take our 8th graders to our local driving range, which also has miniature golf and a par 3 course. Group A is comprised of students who have mastered the basic skills and rules of golf. They play the par 3 course. Group B is comprised of the remaining students. They split their time between the driving range, where they work on hitting real golf balls, and the miniature golf, where they work on putting form.
