The student will read an article about bunker play from any golf periodical and present in class three points that directly apply to bunker play. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. The student will read an article on chipping and pitching and write a one page paper describing the differences between each stroke. 2. The student will select a challenging green at a local golf course such as Diamond Oaks, Morgan Creek, Turkey Creek or Whitney Oaks and diagram the putting approach from two different directions according to slope and speed. 3. The student will select a fellow student in the class needing swing correction (e.g., slicing, grounding) and identify three reasons and possible solutions to correct the problem on two (2) 4 by 6 index cards. One card is to be submitted to the instructor and one to the student with the swing problem. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. The student will design a fifteen minute warm-up that is appropriate prior to playing nine holes of golf. The warm-up program is to be submitted in writing to the course instructor.
