As some of you know, I teach high school math and science for a living. In my ninth grade math class, I found an excuse to bring some of my TGC knowledge into the classroom. To teach my ninth graders about scale factor and scale drawings, I am having them design a nine hole golf course and create an accurate scale drawing of them (I posted a couple pics of this a year ago). Some aren't that bad!
A few of them have too many bunkers and ponds in landing zones though....consider the headwinds, children! When I did this last year, I based on of my holes from my Midnight Sun course (#5 I think) off an idea a student had. Here are some of this years projects. One kid even said he was going to design the back nine at home for fun (I'll call him Crazycanuck1985 Jr.) Pretty proud of them as quite a few had never stepped foot on a golf course before!
And a couple of finished products!
