HISTORY OF GOLF AND INTERESTING FACTS Golf is a sport that its origin is not precisely known. Historians have not yet determined where it originated from but they do agree that an ancient form of golf was played in Scotland 500 years ago. Back in the day, there was no such thing as green areas, holes, or bunkers. People used to play on any open area they could find and set up their own point system. It wasn t until 1858 that the 18 holes were officially placed as a rule of game. Golf was considered a seaside game and was exclusive for wealthy people only. Nowadays, there are over 16,000 gold courses in the Unites States alone. Anyone of any status can play golf, as there are areas that are not so expensive to play in. The putting green area was not a distinct area until 1875. The putting green made its first appearance in 1812 but was not recognized as the green area. It was simply there. It wasn t until 1829 that this area was ruled to be as being within 20 yards of the hole. Both the terms putting green and table land were used until 1875. There is an early picture of a golfer in the early 1900 s putting a ball using a common 9-iron club. Today, putting is a very important and critical skill when it comes to playing golf. During the 13 th -14 centuries golf was played in the Netherlands in 1297 and was known as kolf. Kolf was first named because it meant Club or Stick in Dutch language. During that time they were using a stick and a stuffed leather ball. They also did enforce the lowest possible strokes as they still use that rules in today s game. The word Golf came from the word Goulf which meant striking or hitting in Scottish terms. Throughout the 18 th century Scotland remains a popular golf destination with entire agencies dedicated to golf vacation packages that promise to

reconnect the avid golfer with golf s origins, giving them an opportunity to experience the history of golf firsthand. By the 19 th century the United States had its first golf courses built in 1886 two, in Florida and the sport proved to be so popular that by 1910, there were 267, and the United States Golf Association was formed. During the 21-century women were not part of the history of gold up until 1867 the game of golf was called The gentlemen s sport. It wasn t until 1950, however, that the Ladies Professional Golf Association or LPGA was formed. It was the first of its kind, and awarded a $50,000 prize to the winner of the first LPGA tournament winner. Today, the Ladies Professional Golf Association awards more than $41 million to its tour champions. Golf is considered one of the most popular sports in today s society and is played amongst children, adults, and the elderly. A very interesting fact is in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, golf will be played for the first time in 112 years. Early golf balls were made of feather and leather. Only about four or five per day were made per man. Women s golfs biggest star was named Mildred Didrikson Zaharias (babe). She won three major formed tournaments and won the Western Open four times and the titleholders three times as well as the U.S. Open three times. Babe was also a vaudeville performer, baseball, football, basketball player; she also tried out skiing, boxing, and fly-casting. Chipping Chipping is a short usually low approach shot in golf and lofts the ball to the green and allows it to roll to get closer to the target. Chips shots are very important in golf because not always players get it on the green, so the chip shot allows the ball to lift off the rough and onto the green. Sometimes the ball will land on the rough or it will land in the bunker, which is a big sand pit. The chip is a bit harder in the bunker but with a harder swing a power behind the ball is will lift just as much as if you were on the rough.

Skill Developments For Chipping SKILL DEVELOPMENT #1 SKILL: GRIP/ AIMING/ CHIPPING/ Objective: Students will be able to accomplish how to grip a golf club, aim at a target, and chip. The students will also be able to use proper stance in a chip shot. The students will practice against a net for practice before heading to the next skill. GRIP: Interlocking grip The interlocking grip is a grip that popular in the game of golf. It is most benefit for players with small hands to get a better grip on the club. Cues: - Place pinky finger between the index and middle fingers, left hand is essentially locking the hands together Overlapping grip The grip is also used by a lot of players but with bigger hands to get a better grip on the golf club. Cues: - The right pinky finger is placed on top of the index and middle fingers. Hammer Grip - The hammer grip is used also and is good for all types of golfers and is a good way to stay in line with the club and the ball. Cues: Place your dominant hand at the top of the club and make a hammer grip Then place your non dominant hand over the dominant hand, as you put your non dominant hand on the slightly overlap your hand over your thumb on the dominant hand.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT #2 SKILL: GRIP/SWING/CHIP/AIM Objective: Students will be able to chip a ball onto the green. They will also be able to use different types of grips when taking the chip shot: - Get shoulder width apart - Measure your feet with the club in between your feet - Grip the club in the hammer grip - Slightly bend your knees at a comfortable position - Look at your target - Keep your eye on the ball - Make sure you chip the ball 1 inch away from the ball - Think of scooping the ball from the rough - Slightly pull the club back but not all the way to your head - Chip and follow all the way thorough your shot - Look up after you hit the ball - RELAX! BREATHE! BE CONFIDENT!

Skill Developments For Chipping SKILL DEVELOPMENT #1 SKILL: GRIP AND STANCE Objective: The student will practice proper grip by deciding which method is preferred to assist in a successful chip shot. The student will practice proper stance when getting in position to perform a chip shot. Grip: Three different types of grips Hammer: or ten-finger grip is a preferred grip for individuals with small, weak hands or short fingers. Cues: Hold top of the club with non-dominant with thumb lining up with the bottom of the club. Knuckles are aligned. Interlocking: this grip is used for individuals that like a more solid feel of the golf club. This grip is also for individuals with rather small hands Cues: place left index finger in between pinky and ring finger on the dominant hand. Overlapping: or Vardon is the most popular golf grip, usually for individuals who have rather large hands. Can be effective in a power shot. Cues: Right pinky finger is placed on top of the small gap between the hands Stance: -Club is down first -Grip of selected, hands are slightly ahead of the ball -Stance is seen with feet/heels no more than 6 inches apart, with left foot away from the ball -Knees should be slightly bent with hips following feet while leaning forward so that the back is straight with shoulders squared -Slight weight should be put onto the left foot -The ball should be in line with middle of chest golf club should be striking the back under of the golf ball.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT #2 SKILL: CHIP/AIM/STANCE Objective: The student will practice proper perceptual ability during a swing by used good body mechanics to ensure a successful chip shot. Get shoulder width apart, measure this by placing the bottom of the golf club in between feet. Grip the club in the hammer grip or whichever grip became comfortable Slightly bend your knees at a comfortable position Look and visualize your target Keep head down Keep your eye on the ball Make sure you chip the ball 1 inch away from the ball Think of scooping the ball from the rough, as if kicking a soccer ball Slightly pull the club back but not all the way to your head or past your waist Chip and follow all the way thorough your shot Look up after you hit the ball To aim, students must visualize their target that is in the green while chipping from the rough. If wrists are kept straight, there is more a chance to make a successful chip shot. Cues: Wrists straight Make vision lines Keep an athletic stance Watch the back swing

Skill Developments For Driving SKILL DEVELOPMENT #1 SKILL: SWINGING/DRIVING Underarm Towel Drill: To practice good swing form we will use a golf towel, we will place one und of it under one underarm run it across our chest and place the other end under the other underarm so that the towel sits nice and tight across our chest. Now we will take a few swings and the point is not to the let the towel fall or loosen across our chest. If so that means during the course of our swing our arms are not staying close enough to our body to get that correct form. This also allows us to practice the limit of how far we can and should be going back on our load up rotation and how far forward on our unloading motion SKILL DEVELOPMENT #2 SKILL: GRIP Interlock Grip: The interlock is a variation to the traditional Vardon grip, in which the right pinky rests over the left index finger behind the shaft. Then the left thumb runs straight down the shaft or just right of center and the right thumb rests on top of the left. The "V is formed between the right thumb and forefinger should point fairly close to your right breast pocket. This grip helps the hands swing as one, and have a stronger grip on the club with this grip we can get an efficient swing when integrated with the correct technique and follow through.

Skill Development for Driving SKILL DEVELOPMENT #1 SKILL: GRIP Grip Coin Drill: Students will be paired in groups of two. Quarters will be given to one of the students in the group. Students will place quarters upright between the index and thumb finger webbing. Students will form a V-shape and choose which grip is best for them. The other partner will check off cues on task sheet observe and analyze skill. 1 st attempt students will place quarters between the index and thumb fingers of both hands and swing without a driver 5 times. 2 nd attempt students will contain coins between index and thumb fingers of both hands (forming V-shape with index and thumb fingers) while swinging with a driver club 5 times. 3 rd attempt students will contain coins between index and thumb fingers of both hands (forming V-shape) while swinging with a driver club and hitting a golf ball 5 times. Final swing will be without coins forming a V-shape with index and thumb fingers while swinging a club driver at a golf ball. Students will switch roles. SKILL DEVELOPMENT #2 SKILL: DRIVING/PEER COACHING/SWINGING/POSTURE Correct Golf Posture Drill: Students will be paired up in groups of two. Each student will start off by correct posture cues which are feet should width apart, slight knee bent, raise and tilted hips, keep eyes on golf ball, toes are pointing forward, head is slightly down. One student will demonstrate proper posture while the other observes and analyzes the demonstration. Students will progress by standing on a foam noodle and practicing the posture cues with a driver club. Each student will perform each application 5 times. If students can maintain good posture by standing on an unbalanced object (noodle) they will be able to demonstrate correct posture without a noodle. Final application students will practice correct posture and hitting a golf ball.

Task Card Driving #4 Skills and Thrills To the student: Find a buddy or group to practice the tasks below. Using peer evaluation help each other where needed and give feedback to improve each other s swing and gameplay to its best. Perform the skill until you get a good feel for it. Do your best and encourage and coach your partner to proper form and technique! Golf is a difficult sport that anyone can be skilled in and play with enough practice and dedication. 1. Driving Range: this is the perfect place to practice and master your swing to drive the ball long. This is where you can also practice with your irons, woods, and hybrids, to master any shot that will move you down that course. Having a friend or group along with you to critique your swing is great because they may see something you don t notice that can drastically change your game. 2. Chipping Practice: at almost all courses you will find practice chipping areas in which you can get some swing time in from different distances and lies to practice all gameplay situations. Again having a friend or group is good for evaluation. 3. Putting Practice: again you will find practice putting greens at almost any golf course that will offer different views, drops, slopes and distances to shoot and practice from. Remember putting is the most crucial part of the game! Miniature golf courses are another excellent way to practice putting because they are more exaggerated as far as the different looks and maybe obstacles that you may see on the course. 4. Gameplay! : One of the best ways to practice and get a good feel for the actual course as opposed to the practice areas is to just play it! Remember error only leads to corrective improvement and there is no better way to learn *You can find a handful of drills and other practices to help your game improve on videos and other sources on the internet or in books

The player checks the grass to determine whether the putt will be with or against the grain. A lighter color indicates the intended path is with the grain, which allows the ball to roll faster. General principles 1. Because sand traps vary from deep, soft, sand to shallow, hard clay and sand, each shot is different 2. The trap is entered from the lowest point so as not to destroy the bank or unduly disturb surface
