Around the Academy:

The goal is pictured in the centre of a yard
The goal is contained in a 'yard' rather than a green
The Target

The greens in golf are replaced by yards of various shapes marked out with pegs around each target or goal, as there is no putting.

The yard is a small piece of ground that contains the target.

It is only when your ball lands inside the yard that you can turn the goal to face you in one of three set positions.

GolfCross creator, Burton Silver
The man responsible!

The approach shot is vital. If you don't hit the yard, you have to go for goal from an acute angle, maybe even lobbing your ball over the side netting!

When playing outside of the yard, you have got to play for the goal's original position as held by the chain.
