Golƒ!!!

On Tuesday the 9th of March Room 8™ went out to learn
some golƒing tips from a Kiwi Golƒ teacher.

We practiced long distance and short, chipping and
putting with many different types of balls, a heavy big ball, a tennis ball and a rubber golf ball.

There were some awesome hits and some... not so awesome hits aswell.

The teacher was great and she taught us heaps, im sure
lots of people will want to play golf in the future.

Go Rachel!!

Good job Marara!!
