As we have explored, there are three elements to any Scoring School program, designed to help your customers to develop their skills, track progress and forge social connections with others who have the same scoring goal aspirations. One program element is a weekly group based class focusing on a specific topic that customers can attend. The classes will rotate around three skill categories and sub skills. The first category is Swing, which includes driving, fairway woods or hybrids, and irons. The second is short game, which includes chipping, pitching and bunker play. The third is putting, which includes short putts, long putts and scoring putts. Customers can also attend a challenge club session once per month. These rotate around swing, short game and putting skills. The last element is the monthly 9 hole playing event designed to help customers meet and play with others of similar scoring goals. They can also earn their on the course Scoring School challenges and record their scores. The themed classes have been designed with a recommended curriculum that ensures the classes across each scoring goal program provide the appropriate learning opportunities for those attending based on their skill level and aspiration. The curriculum has been built so that each program flows into the next, ensuring there is progression for students. In the Scoring School pages of the Coaches Toolbox you can access a recommended curriculum for the Scoring School and each program. This then links to the example class plans that can be used for each class. On the Scoring School selection page and each individual program page, the curriculum can be viewed on your device or downloaded. The curriculum provides a recommendation for a skill theme within each skill category and then a topic to explore within each class for each scoring goal program. Themed Classes are designed to provide your customers with an opportunity to develop the skills they need to achieve their specific scoring goals. It offers customers an opportunity to get private coaching from you, practice effectively through games and drills, and learn from others of the same scoring goal aspirations. Included in a themed class is the Opportunity for group discussion and demonstrations. There are practice games that can be completed in pairs or groups. Alongside this are effective practice drills that can be completed on a private basis. There should also be an opportunity for private coaching. Finally, students should get the opportunity to attempt one of the Scoring School challenges. The challenge clubs are designed to provide your customers with an opportunity to attempt the Scoring School challenges. The challenge clubs should be run once per month and focus on a specific category. The specific challenges within a category should be setup allowing customers to attempt each of the challenges in groups or pairs. In the example the specific challenge club is focussing on Short Game, and customers can rotate around the Pitching, Chipping and Bunker Play Challenges. During the class there will be opportunities for group discussion and demonstrations of the challenges. There will also be a chance for the recording of challenges and progress on GLF Connect. To assist you in planning and organising your themed classes and challenge clubs, you can access downloadable class plans through the Coaches Toolbox for each of the scoring goal programs. The first step to access the class plans is to navigate to the Further Resources section at the bottom of the Scoring School page. Next, select the specific Scoring Goal program you require on the selection page. Then, select the specific Scoring Goal program you require on the selection page. The example class plans have been designed to give you all the information and content you need to plan and run your themed class, or challenge club effectively. An example plan broadly includes a "Class Layout and Setup\" section, which will provide you with recommendations on how to arrange each section of your class or challenge club ensuring that it is delivered safely and effectively, meeting the learning outcomes. The timetable provides you with an overview of what is delivered in the class or challenge club and how it is broken down across the duration. Technical guidance ideas are provided in the themed class plans to help you to deliver content to those attending during group discussions and throughout the class. Each themed class plan includes game cards and practice stations that you can utilise in your event to ensure the event is engaging for your attendees. The plans will include the specific scoring goal challenges for the class or challenge club you are running. This includes how to setup the challenge clubs and the scoring goal challenges themselves. The Scoring Event has been designed to allow customers to access on course opportunities within the program. It will help them to receive guidance from you, develop social connections with others on the program, and track their skills on the course. It is your decision whether you will offer a single scoring event across all of your scoring goal programs, or different events for each one. If you are delivering a single event, customers should be grouped with others in their scoring goals to maintain the integrity of the program. Ensure you have the equipment you need to run your event. As all of the customers are working towards achieving scoring goals over 18 holes, official tee boxes should be used on your course. You should also provide scorecards for your event. Prepare to meet and greet event attendees. Provide them with scorecards and directions to the first tee or starting position. There is also an opportunity for your attendees to warm up before play if they wish. Be on hand throughout the event to support participants and assist with any issues. You should aim to spend time with each group to answer any questions and provide on course support. This is an opportunity to assist your customer not just oversee the event. After the completion of the event, be ready to welcome participants in from playing and collect scorecards. At this stage you can also direct them to the social area where they can wait until all participants have finished. After the event, take the opportunity at this time to thank participants for attending, publicise the next event and allow time for participants to socialize. This should also be an opportunity to record scores and challenges on GLF Connect.
