It was a lot of fun to play golf at Drive Shack. I had a roughy start, but my swing and accuracy improved throughout the day. The documentary provided insight into the many intricacies that golf has and made me appreciate those who play it even more.

It won’t let me put in my picture because it is too much storage, but it was a picture of us at our Driveshack bay. I didn’t start off the day well with my swing, but I quickly made some adjustments and found some fun in playing an 18 hole course on the game screen using the driving range and tracking technology. Not only did we all do well, but we also all enjoyed the documentary afterwards called Full Swing, which was the first sports movie I’ve seen in a while.

 

Had a fun day at drive shack exploring different elements of golf and how different factors affected each shot. After the morning session we looked into the PGA tour and different elements of that. We watched the new movie on Netflix which gave us a good understanding of different aspects of the game.

In the morning we had so much fun playing golf. We practiced our swing and were able to hit some balls deep center. We kept in mind that a 45 degree launch angle might be optimal without air resistance but in the real world we had to adapt to the nefarious conditions. We succeeded.

In the afternoon we watched the golf documentary to see a more in depth view of the sport so many people love.

We spent the morning at Drive Shack where we had two hours of fun playing golf and honing our swings.

By using different clubs but keeping our swings constant, we tested how the lofts and lengths of the clubs contributed to the exit velocity of the ball. We also tested the optimum launch angle for distance as well as the effects of hitting the ball off the tee, where there was less resistance, and ground, where there was more resistance.

In the afternoon, we watched Full Swing, a netflix series that gave a behind-the-scenes look at the PGA tour, and learned more about golf at the highest level. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable learning experience.

We started the day off at Drive Shack, and we played golf for about two hours. During that time, we learned how to improve our swings and when to use which clubs.

Additionally, using physics concepts like conservation of momentum, we were able to use the exit velocity of the ball and the angle it travelled at to calculate how far the ball went and how fast the gold club head was travelling.

After finishing our session at Drive Shack, we watched Full Swing, which is a series of documentaries that give a behind-the-scenes look at the PGA tour. We learned how difficult golf is at the highest level and how the pros become so consistent at their game.
