Golf and Target Sports
Aim and precision: golf, archery, darts and bowling
Target sports test precision under pressure rather than speed or strength, and the psychological demand is closer to their real difficulty than the physical one.
The unit covers golf rules and scoring, courses and the majors, archery, darts and bowling, and shooting sports.
This unit breaks down into 21 short steps and 120 questions, starting at difficulty 3 and building to 4. Below you can see exactly what it covers, how the path is structured, and worked examples with explanations.

How the unit is structured
Golf and Target Sports runs as 21 short steps that unlock in order. 15 are practice rounds and 6 are challenge rounds that pull together everything before them. Questions start at difficulty 3 and climb to 4 as you progress.

Where these questions come from. Each unit starts as a plan of the concepts it should cover and the difficulty it should span. Questions are written against that plan with AI assistance, then checked by a validator that rejects anything without a single defensible answer, an explanation, or plausible wrong options. How we write questions sets out the whole process, and corrections are fixed in the bank and reach the site and the app the same day.
