SNAG GOLF

WORLD OF SPORTS

SNAG® stands for Starting New at Golf. It is a FUN game that is EASY to learn and can be played ANYWHERE. SNAG® contains all the elements of golf but in a modified form.

Falling somewhere between miniature golf and regulation golf, SNAG® allows for full shots, pitching, chipping, and putting. It is a proven learning and training tool for entry level golfers. The game has its own simplified rules and terminology, SNAGology as we call it, that adds fun to the learning and playing experience.

Children learn how to catch, throw, kick, and have fun as they participate in skill games/activities associated with playing kickball, basketball, tee-ball, soccer, and more.
