At the end of the Elementary PE Department's golf unit, students attempted the "Impossible Shot", a 50 foot putt across the Elementary Gym. Each student was given 1 try per class during the two week golf unit. If they made the putt, they received a certificate & got to sign the Impossible Shot poster!⛳
Well done Titans! Do we see some future Varsity Golfers?? 👀
