Legal Case Study: Child Development

Mcilroy’s father introduced him to golf when he could barely walk and he instantly fell in love with the game. He was already hitting a 40-yard drive when he was 2. At the age of 9, Mcilroy had his first notable international win in the 9 to 10 age division at the World Championships in Miami, Florida (“Mcilroy Biography,” 2015). Rory’s father and mother worked multiple jobs to support his golf education when he was young. Rory’s handicap was a scratch when he was only 13 year old. This is better than about 99 percent of golfers throughout the world. Mcilroy’s father and friends made a prediction that he would win his first

Describe the expected pattern of children and young people's development from birth to 19 years, to include:

And finally there was the number one spot, the creme of the crop, the number one golfer in the school and the entire state. Dustin McCallaster. Dustin looked like what you would think the high school quarterback would look like in every cheesy high school movie. He had short brown hair, clear skin, a sly smile, chiseled features, ocean blue eyes, and a golf game that would blow you away. Dustin was a super respectful, and would always help everyone at practice before he would even begin. He was truly an amazing role model, one that Wes has looked up to his entire life. Wes had earned his way on to the JV team for Dellburg high this year and is the number one spot, which is no easy task in itself. Every player on the Varsity roster shoots consistently in a range from 67 to 73. Wes was about a two handicap which means he shoots a range from about 74 to 79. Ever since Wes was a young boy he had always had aspirations to play for this prestigious team. He had practiced day and night for years trying to accomplish this one goal. It always came down to the same thing that was holding him back, putting. Wes could hit the ball like no ones business always putting himself into great position to score, but never being able to make the clutch putts to put himself into the low 70’s range. Wes would always have coach Wilder, the JV coach, help him during practice on short and long lag

He says, “Don’t worry about anything, just trust in the work you’ve put in and go compete.” These dark thoughts of failure and doubt are now replaced with much warmer memories. I begin to reminisce about the years of long hours practicing and grinding in order to get to this moment. I think about all the time that I’ve spent with my friends that were on the same mission that I was as we played the game we loved from the time the sun popped up in the east and fell down over the horizon in the west. I am much more calm now as I take the tee and our round begins. I look to my fellow competitors and I see many of the same mistakes that I make. This gives me comfort in knowing that even though they do have a prestigious past, the golf ball doesn’t know

Harrington’s career started at age 15 when he played his first golf tournament, but he had started playing golf at age 5. Padraig chose this career because he fell in love with the sport, he liked calculating and rerunning his thoughts on how he was going to hit his golf ball to land closer to the putt hole. He also had to pay attention to where and how fast the direction of the wind was headed to make his swing more accurate. Padraig’s love for golf has helped not only himself, but scientists calculate how his “Happy Gilmore” technique travels far in a perfectly legal swing.

When he was only thirteen, Jack could break a 70 for eighteen holes, which is better than what most serious adult golfers score. At first he joined small tournaments in neighboring areas, but his passion continued to grow and so did his horizons. At first he was winning Junior Championships in his home state, but then he joined the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1955. At first he failed, but he continued to persevere and took another shot in the year 1959 where he was finally victorious. It is said that one of the reasons Jack Nicklaus was so good was due to his unbelievably strong mentality. He was able to focus solely on the task at hand and could master the course like nobody else. Many observers nicknamed him “The Powerhouse” because of his ability to drive the ball farther than anyone they had ever witnessed. Others said Jack was so good at putting that no matter how far away the ball was, he made it look effortless. It was because of his awespiring focus and unwavering mentality that Jack Nicklaus was able to dominate the game of golf with

Having never played golf, my first practice was what seemed to be a trial by fire. I was dropped off at the course with my dad’s worn retro golf clubs, tennis shoes, a tucked in polo shirt, and a nothing-to-lose mentality. The veteran players herded us to the driving range to

At this time my uncle is sixty years old and his body just does not have what it takes to practice the way he did when I was young. My uncle spends most of the day working at a country club, when he gets the chance he will spend some time with me, instructing me on my golf swing and watching me hit balls and correcting my faults. I find myself being the man he used to be cursing the game of golf and slamming the golf

As Gee discusses in Being a Lion and Being a Soldier, many baby boomers think that being smart is moving as fast and efficiently as possible toward their goals—in this case learning the game of golf. Games encourage players to thoroughly explore before moving on to think laterally, and to use such exploration and lateral thinking to reconceive their goals from time to time. They encourage good ideas in a world full of high-risk, complex systems. Before modifying the game to include the changes to make it a more educational learning experience, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour played like

“My uncle just said, ‘Don’t stop,’” Stewart said. “I want to continue to get better. He told me to know the golf side of it and the golf course side of it.”

One precious little girl, charming responses, and thirty well spent minutes adds up to a successful Piaget project. The time spent on interviewing a child for cognitive development was insightful, and gave me a first hand look at how a child’s mind matures with age.
