- Counted the number of swings taken
- Added up the scores for each hole
- Subtracted the par score from their own score to determine how many over or under par they were
- Measured the distance from the tee to the hole using a measuring tape
- Estimated the distance of their shots using visual cues
For continued development, the child can practice mental math skills by calculating their score without using a scorecard. They can also explore the concept of averages by keeping track of their scores over multiple games and finding the average score. Additionally, they can learn about angles and geometry by observing the angles of the golf course and the trajectory of their shots.
