	11AM-3PM OPEN DAY TRI - GOLF A 'mini' version of golf designed specifically for young children at infant, primary and junior schools. Introduction In November 2000, the Golf Foundation launched a ‘mini’ version of golf specifically for use by young children in primary and junior schools. This involved developing youngster-friendly equipment that has proved to be popular with children, affordable for schools, and easy for teachers to use. In addition, resources giving ideas for games and activities that can be linked with the PE and educational curriculum were produced, and a 3-hour teacher training workshop was introduced. All of this has led to an explosion in the amount of golf activity taking place in primary and junior schools across the British Isles. The introduction of Tri-Golf has made it possible for the education sector and golfing community to work closely together for the benefit of the schools, the clubs and the young people in a situation where everybody wins. · Tri-Golf is now reaching approximately 750,000 young children per year across the British Isles. · Tri-Golf has broken new ground and has demonstrated how golf can be delivered through fun-based activity sessions involving large groups of youngsters. · Tri-Golf has changed the way golf is perceived by the education and local authority sectors and the youngsters themselves. · Tri-Golf has made it possible for golf to be taken into almost any environment. · Tri-Golf has been used to encourage girls to participate in sport. · Tri-Golf is helping to encourage responsible social behaviour because of golf’s emphasis on honesty, integrity and good sportsmanship. · Tri-Golf has reached youngsters who would not normally have considered golf as an option. · Tri-Golf has been used to provide a focal point for over 300 school and community projects. · Tri-Golf has been used within schools to teach not only P.E., but also maths, citizenship and other subjects. · Tri-Golf has helped Police Officers to engage with young people and turn them away from crime. Quiz of the week If a golfer, on a standard 18 hole golf course, gets a hole in one on the first hole and then proceeds to take one extra shot on each subsequent hole i.e 1 shot on hole 1, 2 shots on hole 3, 3 shots on hole 3.  How many shots does he take on a complete round. Joke of the week. Why does a golfer need two pairs of trousers? In case he gets a hole in one!
