Then they chip their next 3 balls to stop between the 2 nd and 3 rd row of markers. Their next turn if there is time is to chip the balls to land between the 3 rd & last line of markers. TEAM GAMES Change some firstclubgolf games to Team Games For most of the games listed below group the pupils into teams of 4 or 5.
