Putting Relays

A bit like biathlon, except without the shooting and the skiing. A simple team game with running and putting.

Supplies

  • Two baskets
  • At least the same number of putters as players
  • A cone or something else to mark the penalty lap

Preparations

  • Divide the group into two teams
  • Set baskets and mark putting spots (see diagram)
  • Mark a penalty lap

The Rules

  1. Pairs of one player from each team are sent to get the first putter. You can send new pairs every couple of seconds.
  2. The players run to the putting-line.
  3. The players try to make the putt from the line
  4. If the putt is successful, the player runs to fetch a new disc (1). If the putt misses, the player either:
    1. retrieves the disc, goes around the penalty lap and putts from a closer spot. This is repeated until a successful putt. Or,
    2. does a predetermined exercise (e.g. 5 push-ups) and goes to get a new disc
  5. The winner is the team that has gotten more discs into its own basket when the discs run out.
