    Essay On Physics In Golf

    • 548 Words

    Physics is more around us than one would think. Physics is in all of the things you love to do. Take golf as an example there is velocity in a golf swing. Velocity is the speed of something in a given object and the speed of your club in the direction you are aiming is velocity. Also there is gravitational potential energy in the top of your backswing to cause you to pull the club downward. Kinetic energy is also in golf, During your backswing kinetic energy is causing your club to go up and in your downswing all of the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy before you hit the ball. Friction is also involved in golf because friction is the force of two objects rubbing against each other and when you hit the golf ball of the ground your club and the ball are rubbing against each other to make the ball go farther. Also when the ball hits the ground the ball and grass are rubbing against each other to cause the ball to slow down.…

    The perfect golf swing

    The first step in the process is gripping the club, which influences the amount of control that is obtained during contact with the ball. A fundamentally sound grip helps the player create power and good feeling at the same time. Start by holding the left hand palm up and placing the grip of the club into the palm in a way that it runs from the base of the pinkie through the middle of the index finger. Then, clasp the left hand around the shaft so that the club is comfortable but stable in the hand. After the left hand is firmly positioned, completion of the grip can be accomplished by placing the right hand below the left in a similar manner. The right hand can be connected to the left in one of three ways: the overlapping grip, the interlocking grip, or the ten-finger grip. In the overlapping grip, the right pinkie overlaps the left index finger, while the right pinkie interlocks with the left index finger during the interlocking grip. The interlocking grip does not allow the club to twist while swinging, which positively affects the impact of the ball. My personal grip, and the most comfortable grip in my opinion, is the ten-finger grip. This is where all ten fingers are on the club with no overlapping or interlocking of fingers occurring. These instructions are…

    About two years ago, I made the decision that I wanted to play golf. Most people consider it one of the easiest sports to play. I can see why. I don’t have to run or really do anything athletic however, the hardest thing about golf is overcoming the mental aspect. The mental aspect of playing golf has made a noticeable impact not only in my game, but in my everyday life as well. This was not something that happened overnight. I still struggle with it today. I used to be extremely negative and hard on myself to the point that I had a difficult time letting myself just play. I was so criticizing toward myself that I didn't even want to continue to play. I needed to learn to let some things go, whether it be a bad shot or a bad hole. I had to…
