DGs “Sheep Shot”
.
(2) boards .
(1) board contains: (23) sheep ; (7) wolves (1) board contains: ( 27 ) panels of fencing ( rock , wood , and brick ) .
Players have a CHOICE . Go for animals or fencing.
.
If they get a sheep they must place on green immediately . If they get fencing they wait until they use a turn to PUTT.
.
Putting a ball to a location gives you the ability to place down a fence . However not all fences are created equal : STONE can be used to bank shots , BRICK allows player one club length of latitude for placement , WOOD is standard issue.
.
The goal is to enclose as many sheep as possible . .
However , beware ! If someone puts a wolf in a pen of sheep and closes it they get all the sheep.
.
Maybe it’s best to leave once a wolf has come in ... or maybe it’s best you get your own wolf and protect the sheep you want to enclose ?
.
First to 3 sheep wins ! .
30 seconds of setup
4+ ( all humans ) .
Simple rules , unlimited options . The ultimate replay game . .

A day to remember .. .
My friend and smartest man in golf instruction @chriscomogolf got a chance to dig deep into DiscoverGolf today.
.
It was amazing to chat about the HUMANISTIC side of coaching and what DiscoverGolf is bringing to golf professionals , families and juniors around the world.
.
The MOVEMENT that is DiscoverGolf is a brazenly ambitious pursuit to design environments that prioritizes players STATES before managing their TRAITS.
.
Reaching human beings at an emotionally resonant level has, and always will be the coaches greatest ally and the foundation for success.
.
So what is “success “ ??
The golf industry has forever hung its hat on players TRAITS.
There’s nothing wrong with that,but let it be know, there is absolutely other, very real measures of success...:
- a “nudge” away from screen time
.
- introducing a window into a gameful disposition
.
- in accepted invitation into a play community
.
-a strengthened sense of resolve/ self .
- a willingness to celebrate ones body, mind, and spirit in a stick - ball - target loop
.
DiscoverGolf is one a mission to provide all humans with a glimpse into what is possible when PLAY is the ultimate goal and when game architecture, theatre, and the human spirit collide in chaotically beautiful symphony. .
Thanks @chriscomogolf for #takingtheleap

Successful junior golf programs.
.
They are built 🧱 by 🧱. .
And in 2020, and beyond, they stand on a foundation of CRAFTED human experiences, accessible formats/culture,and attention to detail. .
Golf professionals are no longer “gate keepers” of a format constrained by technique, etiquette, and obedience.
.
We are know living, breathing environmental designers. A human electricity through which drama, curiosity,and genius flow.
.
I see it every day at the ground level.This is the future. This is #discovergolf .

Day 1 of 2020 .
If you are coaching in the United States right now and you have a pulse you are feeling the magnitude of the moment. The tumultuous confluence of a pandemic and civil unrest is making us all feel uneasy ( to say the least )
.
Amidst all of this , the show must go on . And maybe that’s the best possible way of describing what we do.
.
We as junior golf coaches put on a SHOW
.
We invite and DARE our students to suspend reality and give into the premise of a fanciful theater brimming with an exotic and intricate premise
.
We do this because we believe within this magic circle lies the thing that’s make us feel most human. When we surrender to the premise of an epically constructed game we expose ourselves to the loss of time , the lose of self , and within that space I believe we expose something magical.
.
Today , not unlike most days, further confirms what I know to be true.
.
The greatest gift I can give as a coach is an EXPERIENCE . An emotionally resonant moment of time that’s make someone BELIEVE. That belief may be in themselves and/ or the significance of the moment but it is the BELIEF that matters so dearly.
.
If you as a coach can create the conditions that make this possible I believe the stick and ball interaction we do desperately want to “coach” will not only take care of itself , but will become a kind of genius you simply have to see to believe.

Zeuks!!! .
#20/90 in our “90 games in 90 days Series. .
DiscoverGolfs Zeuks !!! is unlike any putting game you’ve seen before. The game starts with 4 players operating from their own segment of a community circle. Players are “dealt” 5 cubes . The face up segment of their Zeuks die represent a #greekgod or #lightning or #greekcolumn . .
Players are also dealt 5 Greek god cards . .
The object of the game is to not only acquire 3 of a kind of a singular Greek god ( featuring #zeus , #apollo , #hermes , #poseidon ) BUT to also make sure that your 3 of a kind is the STRONGEST of all gods . .
Players acquire new cards , strengthen gods , steal gods, and navigate their way through #Zeuks !!! by rebounding balls of existing cubes and or directly / indirectly making putts . .
Zeuks is a quintessential look at how DiscoverGolf brings a diversity of game elements and design concepts together to provide a richer and more stimulating ( psychically and cognitively) to the #juniorgolf experience . .
Find out more about Zeuks and the hundreds of other DG game concepts at www.discovergolf.co

“Middle Management”
.
19/90 in our “90 Games in 90 Days Series “ .
Video featuring DG legends @gavinflo @christylongfieldgolf @mz3golf @kenmalnar .
A lot of people are asking ... “what is DiscoverGolf , and why are so many golf professionals around the world OBSESSED with DG games ? “ .
Well our classic game “Middle Management” is a pretty good example that helps explain the DG #phenomenon .. .
So what does a coach want out of a junior golf training event . One might say that they want their kids to be deeply focused on the outcome of their shots amidst a calculated and ever changing stream of environmental constraints .
.
Ok great , but they’re kids ..
.
Can’t just say , where doing this (x/y/z) because I’m a guy in a polo and I said so . That’s a one way street to #golfkidsonly program design. .
So how about this ? .
Play DiscoverGolfs “Middle Management” . Let THEM immerse themselves in the theme and pick a job role ( aka “constraint” ) .
Then layer in critical decision points that lead intriguing situations and scoring bonuses. .
Ok , now add a 60+ deck of random and hilarious tasks , rewards, twist , turns , and lead changes .. .
All of these #gamemechanics support kids hitting 3 shots to a target distance , allowing them to throw out the shortest and longest shot , as to keep the MIDDLE Number ! .
Once you go DG there is no going back .
