Need help with Golf Camp?

Question

I'm doing a mini-camp for some local kids(ages 10-14). I'm wondering if you have any ideas for drills that would be useful. Also I need to know where I can buy Range Balls. Low cost but in good condition is what I need. Any help is well appreciated.

Answer 1

try to buy the balls from a local golf course or driving range.  Just make up games for them to play while hitting.  Into a pool or bucket of water . Kids like to see golf balls hit the water.  Chipping or putting contest with a prize.  Good luck

Answer 2

With regards to cheap golf balls, I have found an online golf store that sells used golf balls. They are a trusted and well known store and their used golf balls come with the following description:

"Triple AAA grade Mix used golf balls are like new. These high quality recycled balls look, feel, and play like new. They have a consistent brand label, color, and shine. Very minor surface scratches and imperfections are possible. Corporate, team, or tournament logos may be included in the mix, unless noted."

The cheapest I found was for Top Flite mixed model golf balls. They sell for $17.99 for 5 dozen, which works out at only $3.60 the dozen. See the link at the bottom.

For golf drills, a par-3 competition with some sort of prize is always good to maintain the kids focus. I agree with an answer from above, that having them try to land the ball in water is great fun. Maybe a fairly large inflatable pool - say 8 to 10 feet in diameter - could be used. Have the kids try pitching from different distances, starting of from maybe 30 yards and then moving further back each time.

Answer 3

Put out hulla hoops and have them try to get in in the hoop.
