Golf in the Library

Based on the library Murder Mysteries that we did at the beginning of term, the latest orientation we tried was for the Professional Golf Management students - so of course we adapted it to a golf tournament!
Students proceeded through 9 holes:
4 library-related questions,
4 putting holes (see pictures) and
a refreshment hole (pizza & bottled water).
In order to protect the library from damage, the students were 'handicapped' by having to use foam balls and a variety of 'golf clubs' that included a hockey stick, yardstick and wooden spoons.

It made a nice change from the regular tours and we all had fun constructing the course from old library books, various folders, bins and crowd-control poles.
The students all appeared to have a great time and were forced into learning some library skills - as well as hopefully gaining a more positive view of the library!
