Unit of Inquiry, Week 1: Knowledge

While I'm doing this topic, I think I did well and it wasn't that hard for me to do this task. I think that next week task will be harder that now so I will try more better. And I'll try finish on time and focus on it. My topic is about golf. My essential questions are'Who wear the green jacket and how can I improve by learning them.'

Tips of golf

Golf Swing Tip #1: The Grip
The grip is the foundation of your golf swing and developing the right grip is critical to your success in hitting the ball farther and straighter. There are many different grips out there that you can use. Here are few common grip types:

- The Interlocking Grip – With this grip the index finger of the left hand and the little finger of the right hand combine and interlock. Those that have thick hands, or shorter hands commonly use it. This grip is usually the best option for most people and will allow you to create proper leverage for maximum power.

- The Overlapping Grip – This grip involves having the little finger of the right hand sit on top of the index finger of the left hand. Most male golfers use this grip because it does require strong wrists and forearms.

- The Baseball Grip – With this grip the index finger of the left hand and the little finger of the right hand do not overlap but do make contact with each other. This is usually the default grip for most beginners or golfers with weaker arm and wrist strength. You probably do not want to keep using this grip as the interlocking or overlapping will work better in most cases.

 
Golf Swing Tip #2: The Stance
The ideal stance is to have your weight equally balanced. It is important to stay relaxed over the golf ball as any tension will affect the quality of your golf swing so make sure to follow this important golf tip. You want to bend at the hips when addressing the golf balls and have a slight flex in the knees also. In addition keeping the spine erect and not rounded is important.
Let your arms hang naturally once you bend your hips, avoid extending your arms straight as there should be an angle between the arms and the shaft.

Golf Swing Tip #3: The Backswing
Keep the left arm straight (right handed players) during the backswing and go back as far as you can. Your tempo is dictated really by your personality, some people are naturally slow movers so will have a slower tempo while others tend to move faster so do what is most comfortable for you.

Golf Swing Tip #4: The Downswing
One of the key elements in the downswing is to keep your head in the same position. Begin your downswing with the hips and keep your head behind the ball until your follow through. Do not use your right hand to try to generate more power. The power in your golf swing will come from the leverage in the angle between the club and your wrists. Try to hold the angle between the clubs and the wrists as much as possible in order to generate maximum power.
Do not rush the downswing as this will usually result in poor shots and inconsistency. You want to have a gradually increasing speed on the downswing and make sure that you have good balance and swing well within yourself. Do not try to muscle the club or swing hard, just make a smooth and controlled movement and you will find that this will help you to hit the ball solidly on a regular basis.

Golf Swing Tip #5: The Follow Through
After impact you want the club to fully release while keeping your head behind the ball. Your head should naturally come up with your right shoulder, so your chin should be over your right shoulder and your head facing the target to complete the follow through.
Remember to have some patience when learning the golf swing, go to the range and practice your swing without hitting any golf balls to start and then as you feel more comfortable with your swing you can start hitting a few balls.
Use these golf swing tips to practice your swing on the range for a few days, maybe even a couple of weeks until you are comfortable before you go out to the golf course. Remember to relax and focus on your targets when you are on the course and try to avoid thinking about swing mechanics on the golf course, rather focus on trusting and believing in your game.

Describe which skills in golf you will try to focus on learning and explain why?

I want really learn about Back Spin. It’s cool and this skill is making the ball to spin back. Because of this skill, Tiger Woods can be a popular. And I want learn more about Driving Shoot. Because I heard first driving shoot is good, other shoots will be good too. So I would learn more about driving shoot. But I won't learn about Irons shoot. Because I think I'm already good at playing with them.
