This resource is designed to support teachers wishing to run a five to six week block of Tri-Golf and satisfies the PE striking and fielding element of the National Curriculum at Key stage emphasis of Tri-Golf is on having fun in a safe want you to enjoy delivering golf to your pupils and for the pupils to have a positive PE also want their experience through golf to be wider than physical attainment and you will see that a real emphasis is put on developing social and personal skills during the sessions, an area of focus called Skills for each lesson plan.

Through its education advisory group, the golf Foundation has also developed a Tri-Golf Skills Award scheme that links directly to the lesson plans and provides pupils with the opportunity to measure their own progress and extend their learning into an after-school club. Both the Tri-Golf skills award and lesson plans can be used by PGA golf and community coaches in settings outside of school such as golf clubs, leisure centres and youth clubs.

4 The principles applied within the lesson plans such as activity progression, self-assessment and the children measuring out and designing their own activities are appropriate to any setting. The Manual contains a section on competitions and supports the delivery of the School Games at levels 1 (intra competition), 2 (inter school competition). and 3 (county competition) with fun and easy to follow competition resources. We hope that your pupils have fun playing Tri-Golf but also that you enjoy delivering Tri-Golf and teaching young people valuable Skills for Life through golf .
