Japan Golf with Useful Vision

Family Fun Day

Park golf is a fun and simple sport that anyone can enjoy. Unlike regular golf, you only need 1 club, 1 ball, and a tee to play. You hit the ball from a teeing ground towards a hole, counting the number of strokes you take until the ball goes into the cup. The object is to put the ball in the cup with the fewest number of strokes.  Saturday 11th October 2025  10:30AM -12:30PM  Lawe Road, South Shields NE33 2AJ, UK Book here: https://www.usefulvision.org.uk/events/japan-golf/
