Set up a course where players putt across a frosty green and the ever-changing conditions -- ice, slush, blizzards -- keep the game exciting.
Tips
Use a rubber ball and hockey-stick "nine iron" (a broom
also works) to sink aces like the pros.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Spray bottles
Green food coloring Various obstacles Scissors Felt Glue Tape Wooden dowels | |
| Seasons: Winter | |
| Materials: fabric, nature objects, wood | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Stomp down an area around each hole (hard-packed snow holds color better than fluffy snow does). |
| 2. | Mix water and green food coloring in a spray bottle, then spray the mixture on the packed snow. (Note: Unless you want green jeans, don't lie or sit on the sprayed snow.) |
| 3. | Once the green is set, add wacky obstacles like these: pool toy rings or a hula hoop sunk halfway in the snow; a toboggan or skateboard upside down; a trash-can lid; a tunnel through the bottom of a snowman. And don't forget to make holes: recycled plastic containers sunk in the snow. |
| 4. | To make a flag, cut a triangle from one color of felt and a number from another. Glue them together. Then tape or staple the flag around a dowel or ski pole. If necessary, wrap a rubber band around the dowel under the flag to keep it from slipping. |
