Description
After completing a round of golf it is customary for a foursome to discuss the events of the round. Common conversations focus on shots that were taken both good and bad. Foursomes rarely discuss anything other than components that would fall within the psychomotor domain. However, within a physical education setting, the sport of golf can include so much more than just the psychomotor domain. NASPE states "the goal of physical education is to develop physically educated individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity" (NASPE, 2004). While the psychomotor domain is a major component of any physical education program, the cognitive, affective and health related fitness domains should not be neglected. Physical educators face many challenges from class size to lack of equipment and it can become easy for teachers to become overwhelmed and only focus on the psychomotor components of golf (i.e. hitting a good shot). However, within a golf unit, all four domains can be developed. This article will introduce teaching ideas to incorporate all four domains through the sport of golf.
