Golf ball

As Bobby Jones once said “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots- but you have to play the ball where it lies.” Golf is not your typical sport. Golf is something I would lose myself in. Most importantly it taught me how to grow up by a code of ethics. Every time I took the course I learned a new lesson whether, it was in my personal game or personal life. A golf club carries a culture of it’s own and I truly…

hardly knew anything about golf when I took a job at a pro shop. Golf to me was just a game you went out and played with your buddies over a few colds one at some country club. I had no idea how the club was made, how the game was supposed to be played, or how much actual science was incorporated into every single thing you did on the course. But after just one year at my new job, I was promoted to Department Manager. So I guess you could say that I’m the Tiger Woods of golf knowledge, but still…

Golf is a sport that requires great focus and good skills in order to succeed on the field. For you to have decent skills in this sport you need two things. One, you need to practice rigorously. Second, you must have the best possible golf equipment available to you. Having the best golf clubs and equipment does not really mean it will make you into the best golf player, but having the best equipment will certainly help your game. Sub standard or outdated equipment can affect your skills and…

started racing, adrenaline and energy burst through my body as I shot myself out of bed! I suddenly realized that today was the day of the opening round of the State Golf Tournament! Now, standing in my room, I realized the importance of the day; I rushed to get ready, I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and then threw on my golf cloths that I had laid out the night before. I quickly gave my mother a goodbye hug, bolted to my truck, and headed off to meet the rest of the team. Everyone was…

golfing experience. In fact, I’m pretty sure the right tool is also a part and parcel of the equation. I’m not just talking about your expensive drivers and irons or your comfortable golf uniform. I’m also talking about the popular rangefinders. These small but terrible devices are so useful, you’ll find even professional golf players carrying them during competitions. A good rangefinder boosts your confidence by a mile. How so? Think of it this way. How confident would you be if you can…

loss occurs. 1. The air resistance when the golf club is swinging. 2. The air resistance when the ball is flying 3. At the pivot point, due to friction with the pivot 4. Energy loss due to an inelastic collision between the golf ball and the golf club In the assumption, I supposed that the air resistnace when golf club is swinging and the air resistance when the ball is flying are negligible. Because in the experiment, the distance travelled by the ball is not long enough to cause a significant…

Golf swing speed can be calculated without the need for modern technology. If a golfer can determine exactly how far their golf ball traveled prior to landing, they can determine the speed of their swing. For every 2.3 yards traveled, a swing has to generate a speed of 1 mph. For anyone who is wondering how useful it is to have this knowledge, they should consider that the only way to increase distance is to increase the speed of the swing. Measuring progress requires some kind of metrics by…

out what that is. Golfers have certain golf clubs that have different angles for different types of ranges. Drivers are used for the greatest distance needed, such as the first hit. There are a few things that have an important job in this experiment. Projectile Motion plays a big role in many things such as sports. Projectile motion is an object or body moving through air (Oregon State University). An example of projectile motion is launching or throwing a ball in the air. Projection angle,…

Some people say that they golf to relax. I however cannot understand that statement. Personally I would rather just throw my first three balls directly into the river and drop my fourth two hundred feet from the green. And I’d rather build castles in the sand trap rather than try to pitch a ball out of it. But somehow in the seventh grade I found myself on the junior high golf team. Although I didn’t know it when I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet, golf would teach me the most important lesson…

Nine, the age I was when my fascination with golf began. I still do not know why I so desperately wanted to golf, but I do know that I was determined to learn. That summer between fourth and fifth grade, I was registered for a day camp by my mother, who was confused by my new interest, though supportive nonetheless. Every day, for three weeks, I would arrive at the golf course early in the morning, eager to play and equipped with my lustrous deep red set of metallic clubs. We were divided into…
