...February 27, 2024 Critics of the golf ball rollback should stop complaining about it and support it. In his article titled “Golf Ball Rollback Is Good for the Game and Environment”. The Latter Argument Should Shut Up the Critics, if Nothing Else,” Prateek Srivastava covers the controversy surrounding the announcement of the golf ball rollback by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club (R&A) and the United States Golf Association (USGA), the two governing bodies of golf. Srivastava published this article on December 8, 2023, two days after the R&A and USGA published their groundbreaking news, in the Hindustan Times. In the beginning of this piece, he describes that the rollback will change the golf ball specifications...

...I greatly respect and admire the National Honor Society and have always wanted to be a member ever since I saw my brother being inducted a few years ago. By being part of the National Junior Honor Society, I learned the different qualities needed for the next level. There are many qualities that will benefit the organization. I can contribute many things such as determination, hard work, and leadership. Throughout the past few years, I have played five different sports with back-to-back seasons. These include cross country, basketball, lacrosse, and most recently I started golf. I never played golf before this year but when I saw that we were getting a team, I wanted to give it a try. Only five people were on the team, and I had never even...

...International Journal of Event Management Research Volume 6, Number 1, 2011 www.ijemr.org VOLUNTEER SATISFACTION AND INTENT TO REMAIN: AN ANALYSIS OF CONTRIBUTING FACTORS AMONG PROFESSIONAL GOLF EVENT VOLUNTEERS Gina Pauline Syracuse University ABSTRACT Sport events are increasingly reliant on episodic volunteers for the successful delivery of an event. As there continues to exist a surge in the organization of sporting events coupled with the demand for volunteers, event organizers must concern themselves with utilizing the appropriate recruitment and retention strategies. In an effort to do this, one must understand the points of satisfaction for volunteers as well as factors influencing their future intentions to volunteer. While there exists a plethora of research to understand the motivation of volunteers, exploring the antecedents of volunteer satisfaction as well as intent to remain has been limited. This study investigates the factors influencing volunteer satisfaction as well as intentions to remain as a volunteer for future sporting events from an elite men’s golf event on the Professional Golf Association (PGA) circuit. Results indicated that overall volunteers were satisfied with their experience and willing to return yet were concerned with the level of communication between the organization and volunteers. The present study also found that longevity of service influenced volunteer satisfaction. A MANOVA revealed significant differences between first time...

...fundamentals of golf and the ball flight laws will not give any golfer the best possible opportunities to succeed. Knowledge of what the body does during the golf swing and how to maximize the potential of those body parts will allow the coach and golfer to assess and train for maximum performance. While possessing these fundamentals will increase the ability of the golfer to make their best possible swing, maximum potential can't be reached if the perfect swing is swinging incorrect equipment. Proper and accurately fit equipment is the second and equally important key to maximizing potential and player ability enhancement. (1)"Fitters say the reason a lot of people hit it sideways is because they haven't been custom-fit. Trying to figure out the swing with clubs whose length, weight, lie angle, shaft flex or grip size don't match the body encourages players to make unnatural compensations that prevent them from developing proper mechanics." Meeting with and interviewing the potential student or fitting client will allow the fitter to have the most accurate ability to assess what the client can and can't do. Physical disabilities will effect what the golfer can do and what the fitting professional should consider asking the client to do. Should the golfer have a back injury that would prevent getting into the ideal angle at address a fitting professional will know that a longer club will decrease the strain put on the golfer. Knowledge of the golfers game and what a general...

...the course of the summer, the narrator tries to impress Sheila Mant (girl next door) many different ways. To try and impress Sheila, the narrator would swim laps, back and forth, from shore to shore of the river. He also would dive into the river off of his diving board until she got up and left. Often, throughout the summer, while Sheila was tanning on a float, boys would come rowing by and check her out as they were going past her. Many times throughout the short story, the narrator tells us how beautiful Sheila Mant is. “There was a summer in my life when the only creature that seemed lovelier to me than a largemouth bass was Sheila Mant” (Wetherell 1.) Just about everything that the narrator does in the short story revolves around Sheila Mant. Many times, the narrator would be watching her parties from behind the hedge by her house. He watched her so much that he knew exactly what mood she was in just by the way she was sitting. After the narrator finally gathers enough courage to ask Sheila out, she drops a bombshell on him when telling the narrator on the way to the fair that “fishing is dumb” (Wetherell 3.) Hearing Sheila say that, put some doubt in the narrator's mind....

...1 Let the child call the shots. The rule of thumb is this: You are there to do what they want to do, not what you want them to do. 2 Do more `playing' than teaching 3 Share the joy of a job well done. When Bing does something well, I don't just commend her. We celebrate. We jump up and down. Enthusiasm and excitement, felt and expressed without restraint, increases the child's desire to please, learn and excel. The best way to boost a kid's ego is to diminish your own. I found this out when my own children were small, and it works wonders with Bing. Act like a kid again. Simply do what a child does--smile and laugh a lot. I leave nothing in the bag. I've done a one-minute puppet show with my head-covers. I've talked in rhymes. Anything to make being with the instructor, and learning how to play golf, more appealing for the child. 4 Communicate on their level Everything you say should be expressed at the child's level, and I mean that literally. Don't stand when you talk; kneel down and look the child in the eye. Watch what you say, and how you say it. 5 Tee it up in more ways than once To establish an early pattern of success, I insist on teeing the ball on every shot with every club. 6 Visual is better than verbal Don't explain the point, show it. I could have told her to aim the "V" over her right shoulder, but that only would have confused her. So I marked the tips of her fingers with blue dots and told her that when she looked down at address, only the dot...

...The Bathroom of Tomorrow: What a Way to Go By: Douglas Page Everyone wonders what the bathroom of the future will be like. Okay, maybe they don't, but it hasn't stopped engineers in the division of Non-Burning Issues from designing what can euphemistically be called the bathroom of tomorrow—an oasis of comfort, elegance, rest, and meditation essential to contemporary living. Since the bathroom is the one place in the home where we are likely to be alone, designers of the future are creating the perfect chamber where we can properly obsess on attitude and appearance. At Philips, the Dutch electronics giant, engineers have dreamed up several pie-in-the-sky gadgets that could begin to enhance the care and grooming experience by 2005. They began with the mirror. Remember when flossing used to be simple? The seers at Philips have modified bathroom mirrors almost beyond recognition. The mirrored door, over the sink and on the medicine chest, previously used only for thoughts of who-is-the-fairest, is now another entertainment and information center, offering a picture-in-a-picture window on the televised world. Since nature doesn't always call at the best times, soon you won't have to miss any of those great Super Bowl commercials. The sink mirror goes hand in hand with the flexible pullout mirror, featuring a magnifying camera lens attached to a flexible arm for correct positioning and that complete hands-free body inspection we've all been missing. Under the mirror...

...Recommendations: Pages 3 through 7. Steven Carrabotta – Additional Information on Country Clubs and their history, Local Competitors, Conclusion: Pages 8 through 12 The Calumet Country Club has been around for quite some time. The Country Club was established in 1901. Calumet Country Club’s 18-hole golf course was designed by Donald Ross. Donald James Ross was born November 23, 1948 and he was an influential golf course designer. He was born in Scotland, but became a citizen of and spent most of his adult life in the United States. He was involved in designing or renovating around 400 different courses all within a 48 year span of time. He laid the foundation for America’s golf industry. Ross often created holes with invited run-up shots but had severe trouble at the back of the green, typically in the form of fall away slopes. He was admitted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1977, a high honor rarely awarded for anything other than playing success. There is also a society named after him, The Donald Ross Society. The golf courses designed by Ross are works of art and are preservations. Calumet Country Club, which was one of his many works of art, has a long history of championship golf dating back to 1945 and the Chicago Victory Open. This championship that was held at Calumet will forever be remembered as one of the Eleven Straight Tournament victories that Byron Nelson achieved that year. Byron Nelson was an American PGA Tour golfer between 1935 and 1946. He is mostly remembered...
