General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability AA/AS - Health Ed/Physical Ed CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) CSUGE - E2 Physical Activity Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) Articulation Information CSU Transferable UC Transferable Methods of Evaluation Essay Examinations Example: Student will write an essay on two common swing issues including identifying causes and solutions. Objective Examinations Example: Students will go to www.usga.org and take the 25 question random-mix rules quiz. Skill Demonstrations Example: Students will demonstrate in class the fundamentals of the golf swing using a 7 iron. Grading will be based on proficient performance of the skill. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Activity Distance Learning Activity: Instructor will set-up a putting circuit on the putting green that requires students to read the greens for uphill, downhill, left break and right break putts. Instructor will evaluate students ability to properly read the greens. Instructor will guide the students through the chipping techniques described in the textbook with a step by step instructor demonstration followed by a student demonstration. Instructor will help each student create their own routine before addressing and striking the ball. Students will model their routine. Distance Learning Discussion by the instructor on the differences between various types of clubs. The students discuss the differences in small groups. Instructor will lead a discussion on bunker conditions and how to make club selections. The students will discuss the topic in small groups. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. The student will access the U.S. Golf Association program rules at www.usga.org. After reviewing rules 1 through 28, the student will complete a 10 question quiz on the rules using a class hand-out. 2. 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.
