Putting Contest

There are days when I teach and I feel accomplished but the best days are when I get surprised by my students.  On this particular occasion my surprise came when I opened an email at the end of a long day.  It was a video of one of my homeschool students who was having fun with putting.  I laughed, I smiled and I was thankful that he got it.  Golf is fun!  He was having fun, he was creative and he was playing golf. 

I was then inspired to create a putting contest for the homeschool group.  How great would it be if they all experienced the same kind of joy that Timmy did in his video!  Timmy was not able to attend today when I made the announcement but I did let his family know that his video set everything in motion.

As for the contest, I challenged each one of my students to create a putting maze.  Their parents can help them build it but the student must make the putt and submit the video for judging by independent evaluators.  The winning video will be announced during our last class next Tuesday.  The prize is a $50 gift card that can be used to treat Mom and Dad to a special dinner.

Video Submissions:

These video submissions are amazing examples of living out the First Tee Healthy Habit of Play.  Play is all about teaching junior golfers that a variety of energizing play can help the body stay strong, lean and fit, and be fun in the process. Sleep and other forms of “re-charging” allow one to engage in play on a daily basis.
