Capstone Questions

For my capstone I am researching “The Science of Golf”. A capstone is a finishing to usually a wall but for our class it is the finishing of the school year. I will be doing my research for my capstone based on my main inquiry question and my sub questions. I will also be interviewing golf experts and visiting different sites to learn more. My main inquiry question that I will be doing my research on is “How are golf courses designed to be hard and get harder to play”. A few sub questions that I have are, “How do trees impact the game?”, “How are the grounds of courses taken care of?” and “How does the weather affect how far the ball goes?” I have many more but those are just some of them.

This project is a 2 month project and our class will be working on most of the time in class unlike passion project which was done mostly at home. Everybody in are class will be working on researching, answering questions and getting interviews with experts of that topic. In the end we are hoping to learn from others about there topic and learn from yourself.

Capstone Topic

For my capstone I choose the topic “The Science of Golf”. I am interested in learning and studying all about the science of golf with different interviews, research, questions and different facts. My main hope is to learn and get better at this subject but also to teach others about this subject as well. I have been playing golf for 5 years and there is an insane amount of things that are out there for me to learn about and become better at golf.

Passion Project Day 3

4/10/18

 

Today I went out to the golf course to take videos and photos of different golf clubs, different kinds of shots from different lies. I made some of them slow motion so that it is easier to see how the head of the club should be and how your body should be to be ready to hit the ball. I imported them onto my slide show and now just looking for more research. Plan for the next few days is to look for more research and facts.

Passion Project Day 2

4/8/18

Today I have started my passion project. I have started an iMovie and a google slide. I have looked at different videos on the TaylorMade website about how different club heads are made and I have had some struggle on iMovie about what to do next. I am struggling also with finding some videos on how the different golf clubs are made to impact the ball to go farther. I am working on finding a lot more facts on how the rubber shaft affects the club and your swing.
