Architecture, Engineering, And Golf Course Design

There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.

As a young caddie running up and down the course, I saw my uncle slamming the ground with a golf club. I always found him so angry, playing the game of golf. I stopped running and watched him play; I studied his body as he elegantly swung the club through the air. Sweat dripping from his nose, his shirt soaked completely through. I watched him for hours that day, and I would watch him over and over again, trying to find that perfect swing. The perfect golf swing is said to be unattainable to many in the golfing world. I spent my childhood on a golf course being a caddy for my uncle. I cannot inform you on the perfect golf swing because I never witnessed it, although I can explain the fundamentals of golf.

This golf courses layout is “a fusion of his favorite features from grand old British golf holes.”. The 2013 Walker Cup featured this golf course.

No two golf courses are the same. A basketball player or soccer player plays on a field or court that is always the same size and the hoop or goal is in the same location. Each golf course can be different lengths and the holes are in different locations. Additionally, obstacles will be placed in the golfers path to further challenge their route to the hole. One such obstacle is sand traps. When my ball lands in one of these it is no day at the beach. Trying to hit the ball out of the sand can add several strokes to my score. Putting on each course also involves the skill of reading the greens. Breaks and elevations have to be factored in or the ball can land up further away from the hole then it was before the

The construction of a golf course should be highly professional to avoid any technical problems. There are many technical affairs involved in the construction process.

Certainly, golf course design is not without its engineering applications: civil engineering for the grading of the course, hydraulic engineering for planning the irrigation systems, and regional planning and design for a golf community (Doak).

All my life I had grown up watching and loving most sports. I played my fair share of baseball and the occasional pick-up game of football and basketball, which all surprisingly came easily to me, but it wasn’t until the summer before freshman year that I truly found the most challenging and rewarding sport. This sport was like no other. It required more than just hand-eye coordination and speed. This sport required thinking, patience and endless practice, something a successful Penn State student also needs. Because golf challenged me more than any other activity, I had to work twice as hard. However, along the way it taught me valuable lessons I learned to translate over to my everyday life.
