Wow, I can't believe states is over. It has been that our team has been looking forward to play in this tournament. Golf has so much Physics in it, which I thought about during my rounds. A golf swing itself has many different Physics related movements. First of all, the golf shoes have spikes just like baseball, football, track, soccer, etc. These spikes not only look cool but they give a golfer more grip on the ground. If it was not for the spikes, I would not be balanced like in the picture, but instead slipping and possibly very off balance. Secondly, when swinging the golf club, the head of the club moves faster than the grip of the club. The reason is that the further away from the center of rotation, my hands, the faster it goes. This is cool because usually people think that all parts of the club are going at the same speed but in actuality, the head of the club is going faster than the parts closer to the hands of the golfer. Physics is in everyday life and in everyday sports!
