Golf can be a difficult game to learn, particularly for kids. In a lot of sports, modified equipment is used to help kids learn in a positive and enjoyable way. Unfortunately this often is not the case with golf; the first experience a kid usually has is with a full-size, heavy adult club in a attempt to hit a golf ball right off the ground, and we all know that hitting that golf ball is still hard after years of trying, so what hope has the kid got?
It is crucial that young players use appropriate equipment and today thankfully there are plenty of junior specific clubs available. But having correctly fitted clubs still doesn’t address the difficulty of hitting a normal golf ball, getting it airborne, and receiving meaningful and enjoyable feedback from the experience. Enter the BirdieBall …
With a slightly higher center of gravity, the BirdieBall is easier to hit into the air than a normal golf ball, so is very rewarding for beginning golfers. When used in conjunction with the StrikePad, the effect is even more pronounced and the junior just starting out will have a very enjoyable and meaningful introduction to the game of golf and the golf swing.
The other great benefit of BirdieBall is its limited flight of about 35-40yards This means that school golf is a real possiblity and junior golf clinics can be conducted in local parks. BirdieBall is safe and enjoyable way to learn about and improve at golf.
School golf programs are now available for every school from primary through to secondary. With the BirdieBall, you can safely conduct meaningful golf lessons for your students on the oval, soccer pitch, tennis courts, and even indoors.

Accessories that can be packaged with the Birdieball can make this an ideal backyard game. With each set, an instruction booklet is issued with many creative ways to use the equipment. Get Promoted has additional game information available on their website.
Strikepad: Allows a lift to the Birdieball that allows a divot to be taken behind the ball, has a golf head fac on the mat to show proper club alignment during the swing, enables player to use the equipment on hard surfaces like parking lots and streets.
Portable Targets: Collapsible targets can simulate golf holes and add a game element. The portability, again, makes golf an activity for your backyard, the school yard, the neighborhood park, or the city street
A three or six hole set can fit into one duffel bag for easy storage. An entire nine hole golf course can fit in a duffel with rollers for ease in use.
Velocity tees can be used to improve your golf swing when using woods. Tee Markers are used during a game for placement. Tape measures can be used for competitive game and skill improvement. Nets can be used for target practice with the balls.
For added entertainment, a giant inflatable ball target can be used. Kids really enjoy the added entertainment value of the giant target. Inventor John Breaker did a YMCA teaching event and said that the target was a definite piece to keeping the kids involved and eager to play. Rental right now is $200.00 for your event. Purchase for $1299.00.
Get Promoted is very willing to help you fund raise for the Birdieball Sets, so if you need to use the Giant Inflatable to help you raise the money, we will work with you to facilitate that.
We love Birdieball. We think it can bring a lot to a child. We like the idea of families playing together and think this little white “napkin ring” can make that happen. We love the idea of playing Birdieball in the subdivision with a hole in every yard. We like the creativity of street golf and making it up as you go….
Birdieball anytime, anywhere, any age, any ability…
