Nonetheless, Scotty realized his confidence peaked when he created himself a new putter. Ultimately, Scotty began unlocking the meaning of the words his father had uttered to him years ago. Eventually, his talented craftsmanship was turned into a career, fabricating putters for "Ray Cook Golf Company, Maxfli, Cleveland Classics, Founders Golf and Mizuno."

Marsden sat down with his swing coach to set up his objectives for his golf career. He realized he had a lot of work to do to reach that goal of winning a Green Jacket. Marsden’s father Jeff, had bought him a membership at Mattaponi Springs, where he would spend countless hours on the range and around the greens. Dyson had a routine he would do every day; he would hit eight perfect shots with each club in his bag. The young man then would move on to the chipping surface, he hit fifty perfect shots that had to land within three feet of the pin. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would be on the range practicing, if he didn’t answer the phone and you needed him he was at the range working. He would put in dedication into his golf game twenty four seven.

How often does an athlete come along that changes everything about a sport? Tiger Woods, as he is known by most, popularized the game of golf and was able to reach many youth and grow the game that may have been on the verge of dying. Woods was able to energize what many had known as a boring game and instill excitement and drive that was never seen on a golf course before. Woods hit the golf ball unbelievable distances and dominated the sport in a way that seemed unfair. Tournaments were being won by margins unlike any in history and many golf course designers were required to add something called “Tiger proofing” in an attempt to make the playing field more balanced and even. Eldrick “Tiger” Woods, at an astonishing 19 years old, burst on to the scene at Professional Golf Association events and would change golf forever though exciting and energy filled play, absurd tournament performances, and a presence among all sports unlike anything ever seen before. Tiger Woods began training to become the master golfer he was at a very young age and would experience high levels of success throughout his youth, once turning professional, marketing companies were able to take advantage of the unique opportunity Woods presented, and during his professional years Woods was statistically unlike anything ever seen before. In this paper I will discuss (1) how the different forms of communication propelled young Tiger Woods into the face of golf at an early age, (2) how marketing and

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 was winning tournaments over professional golfers. In 1986, he came fourth in the Masters. Jack Nicklaus told him he was good enough to play the American tour. He was the first to coming close to winning the Masters, PGA Championship, the British and U.S Open. He came very close and only won the British Open, but came close in the final round in all the other tournaments. Greg beat Nicklaus in the Canadian Open which started to help prove him to be the best golfer in 1986. He was the number one golfer for three hundred and thirty one consecutive weeks. As he proved to be the best golfer in the world, Greg was about to experience some tough

Many people view winning in a game is more important than anything thing else, but for Jones that was not the case. He was known in the golf community as being

He won the Optimist International Junior World Championship six times at the age of eight, nine, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. At age fourteen, he competed in a Tournament in Paris, France and was named the Southern California Player of the Year. At fifteen, he was the youngest ever to win the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship and repeated as champion the next two years, the only player to have accomplished this feat. That same year he won the AJGA player of the year award, the Golf Digest Player of the Year, the Titleist-Golfweek National Amateur of the Year, and was named a first team Rolex Junior All-American. At age sixteen he won many of these same awards, and participated in his first professional event, The Nissan Los Angeles Open, and won the first of his three successive Golf World Player of the Year Awards. At the age of 17 he won the Dial Award given to the top national high school male athlete for 1993. That year he also accepted a full scholarship to Stanford University, an honor reflecting not only his tremendous golfing ability but also his academic achievements.

Unfortunately, the golf industry is out of balance with the number of courses (supply) outweighing the number of golfers looking to play a round of golf (demand). Course owners struggle to attract rounds. In order to stay competitive in today’s market, you need to have differentiators that set you apart from your competitors. This module enhances the golfer’s experience at those courses that have it and they have a decided advantage over the competition with all other things being equal. If you are looking to attract more rounds, use the Golfer Experience Module to make the round more enjoyable resulting in more rounds and revenue.

Since the age of four, when I was barely old enough to swing a putter, I have loved the game of golf. My dad, passing his love of the game down to me, would take me out every Sunday to Woods Edge Golf Course in Edgewood; he taught me the ins and outs and the dos and don’ts of the sport. One of the earliest memories I have of these trips to Woods Edge is being a mere couple of inches from driving the cart into a pond while dad was teeing off; this would definitely be considered a don’t in the world of golf. I received my first set of clubs for Christmas when I was eight and a year later, a pass to Pin Oak. Boy was I thrilled. I began to golf by myself and learn my own lessons through my experiences on the course. But as I grew as a golfer on my own, my dad was still there tweaking my swing in the back yard and taking trips to Edgewood with me. My dad is a big reason why I have a passion for the game of golf.

Many people take up Golf thinking that it is easy, after all, how hard can it be to hit a little white ball with a stick? This thinking evaporates the first time they step onto a driving range and attempt to hit that little white ball. Golf is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. My experience with golf began in May of 2005 when friends came to stay with us; my wife informed me that I would have to take Roy, her friend’s husband Golfing. I had not been to a driving range (since I was in my teens) and I had never played golf on a course before. It was quite an experience; the weather was cold, rainy and nasty the three times we played while they where here, the game hooked me badly, even with the bad shots and the nasty weather.

The purpose of this paper is to give a personal reflection of the podcast featuring University of Maryland professors Daniel Chazan and Lawrence Clark. Chazan and Clark participated in a 2013 podcast interview hosted by Samuel Otten, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Missouri (http://mathed.podomatic.com/entry/2013-06-10T19_14_44-07_00). Chazan and Clark, both professors in the Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership, joined Otten to discuss the Special Issue in Teachers College Record (Vol. 115, No. 2) which focuses on the impact of African American mathematics teachers in urban schools.
