Putting Game… Pennies, Nickels, Quarters!
If you are looking for a really fun game to put some extra money in your child’s piggybank, I would recommend a putting game that Sadie and I play with some quarters (but any size coin will work).
It is a very simple game where you start with a roll of quarters and you give your child both an incentive and disincentive for making some putts.
Here are the steps:
- Get a roll of quarters
- Put 10 or 15 balls in a circle 10 feet from the hole
- Next to each ball put a quarter down
- If you make the putt, you get the quarter
- If you two putt it the quarter stays on the green
- If you three putt it the kid has to give you a quarter back
- Go around till all quarters gone
This game is perfect for all ages (and Harvey Penick would be proud). If you are working with 3-5 year olds, start closer to the hole and move further out as they get older/better with putting.
The good news… everyone wins and it is a fun way to spend time on the putting green.
Enjoy – Mike and Sadie!

The principles are very basic, however, you likewise understand the many methods.
