Does anybody know of a good website with a large list of games, practice drills (on and off the course) for good (0-4 handicap) junior golfers (12-16 years of age). I am constantly trying to keep them motivated by freshening up their practice sessions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an idea. Create an article and post some, then others can add to it.

Better yet, here, just edit this one:

Good idea - will do.

Good ideal. I added my favorite practice game - Up & Downs - in the comments section.

Hi,

For about a year now I have been amassing a list of practice games and drills for golf.  As you I'm sure already know, they are invaluable to a lower handicapped golfer looking to compete in tournaments.  Feel free to use any and all of the games I've posted in my blog... some are ones I've learned over the years, and others are originals or were built upon another game.  I've tried to cover every aspect of the game.

Here's a link to my Intro page

and here's a link to my latest post/game from last Monday,

eddiepeckelsgolf.blogspot.com

Enjoy and feel free to let me know your thoughts

Eddie

    • They need to do something to speed  up play. They could randomly  time  players. One  idea would  be  if a group gets  out  of  position they are disqualified. If its a group of  3 and  its  1 player playing like  molasses i can imagine an exciting interaction, lol
    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
