Golf
What is golf?
Golf in the School Games is delivered as a team sport through several formats, which include:
- 8-game Golfway Skills Festival
- 4-game Virtual Golfway Skills Competition
- Golfway School Games Values Festival
- My Personal Best ('My PB') Challenge.
The space required to set up the 4-game competition is the equivalent of a badminton court, or for the 8-game version, a netball court or small football pitch. All formats can be played indoors or outdoors and in confined spaces.
