The JOLF Man

A lunchtime ramble, half way through one of our whole school play days. Watching the children this morning and taking to the teachers got me thinking about setting the “expectations” of behaviour rather than the “rules” of behaviour

In response to the first podcast of 2022 where I discussed in detail “Let them…” Here are a few thoughts on the rules that allows children to play independently.

Following on from a post on social media last week that had a terrific response I thought i would expand on what I had written

Timehop brought up another memory today as 5 years ago we left Cuckfield Golf Centre to set up Brighton Junior Golf. A huge learning curve on our JOLF journey

A rambling review and reflection on an experience from last week that afterwards felt like it went wrong, but did it???

Fascinating to see children figure out the problem when faced with a task that involves a left handed chipper. So much to learn from this for all of us involved in the experience

Lovely to catch up again with Aaron and discuss independent play. This follows an initial chat we had last week about how we provide opportunities for children and their families to play on the course independently

A fascinating experience watching a group of 6/7 year olds keep score during their JOLF PE session

I love Timehop and the memories that pop up. This one came up last week and reminded me of a golf experience that we delivered for young children at a soft play centre. It got me thinking then and that experience totally changed the way I think about the space and time of a child’s play experience.

The first face to face meeting of the Sussex Coaches Network for a LONG time. So good to see everyone. A few thoughts from our catch up
