Work Experience ActivitiesGolf Club Design and Repair

Work Experience ActivitiesRemember, all activities must be completed using this electronic file, then printed out in black and white and submitted. This is a "Read-Only" file and must be saved as a separate document before you begin. See the 'Read Me' file for "Save As" instructions.

Refer to the following guidelines when completing all activities.

• Use complete sentences to answer all activity questions

• Eliminate all spelling, grammatical, and typographical errors

• Include all appropriate back up materials to substantiate your work

• Make sure all activities are computer-generated or in typewritten form

• Make sure all required activities are included in your Work Experience Kit

• Make sure your inventory checklist and sign off sheet are included in your Kit

Ground Rules

Here are the key ground rules to follow when you do any work experience activity that requires making repairs:

• Remember, the most important rule is “safety first.”

• Always wear gloves and eye protection.

• Never stand in front of a club head when applying heat to the hosel.

• Take your time.

Directions

The activities for Lessons 2 through 11 require you to take photographs of all the club repair procedures you perform in order to create your own Club Repair in Pictures book.

You will need to use a camera that produces color or black and white prints. For an example of what the photographs you take should look like, refer to the photographs shown on page 132 in Golf Club Design, Fitting, Alteration & Repair.

Please follow the directions below when preparing your Club Repair in Pictures book.

2


1. Develop a title page for each repair task you perform. Include the specific information requested for an activity on the title page. An example of a title page appears on the following page of this guide.

2. Take a photograph of each step of the repair procedure you perform. Put a caption by each step, and briefly describe what is taking place in the photograph. Be sure to display the photographs in the order in which you performed the procedure..

3. Glue the photographs to regular paper, mount in a photo album, or place them in plastic 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 inch print pages. Page 13 of this guide contains an example of what a page in your Club Repair in Pictures book should look like.

Do the activities in the order they are presented. Put all the completed activities in your Work Experience Kit.

Collect

Collect the tools and materials you need to make the swingweight changes. A list of these tools and materials appears at the bottom of this page.

Describe

Using your own 5 iron, measure the swingweight of the club, change the swingweight, and describe the changes in feel and the results.

Answer

Answer the worksheet questions. Make sure this activity is included in your Work Experience Kit.

Materials/Tools:

• Your own 5 iron

• One swingweight scale

• One roll of lead tape

Shaft flex:

Current swingweight of club being tested:

Using lead tape, change the swingweight of your 5 iron by adding 3 swingweights.

Describe how you changed the swingweight of your club:

Based on your knowledge of the course material, what are the possible effects this change in swingweight will have?

AnswerHit some golf balls with the club that you changed. What was the actual effect the change in swingweight had on the flight of the ball?

29


How does this actual change compare to what you thought would happen?

Do you recommend that the change in the swingweight be permanent? Why or why not?

30


Activity 13: Impact of Lie and Length on Ball Flight


Part 1: Impact of lie

Directions: Use Golf Club Design, Fitting, Alteration, & Repair and your own experiences to answer the worksheet questions. You can also ask your supervising golf professional or golf repair professional for assistance.

Identify whether your student is right handed or left handed.

Indicate where in the Golf Club Design, Fitting, Alteration & Repair manual you were able to locate the answers to the questions below.

Define

What is an upright lie?

What is a flat lie?

Describe

What will happen to the ball flight if a shot is hit with a club that has a lie angle that is too upright?

What will happen to the ball flight if a shot is hit with a club that has a lie angle that is too flat?

Discuss

Golfers will often request to have the loft of their clubs decreased to increase distance. What other factors must be considered and why could it be dangerous to comply with this request?

31


Describe What are the different soles discussed in this lesson? Identify and explain which soles should be avoided.

DiscussIs there a correlation between length and lie? If so, what is it?

32


Part 2: Impact of length

Directions: Use Golf Club Design, Fitting, Alteration & Repair and your own experiences to complete the worksheet about the impact of club length on performance and fitting (pages 727 – 733).

Discuss

How can you determine proper club length for a player?

Draw

Using face tape, masking tape or duct tape on the face of your 5 iron, hit five shots and observe the shot pattern of impact on the face. Answer the next question, then print out a copy of this page and use it to indicate your results by drawing a clubface and placing X’s in the appropriate place. Put the page in your Work Experience Kit and then place it in your printout of the entire Work Experience Activity.

What are the possible implications of these results pertaining to equipment?

33


Activity 14: Understanding Loft, Bulge, and Roll of Woods and Metal Woods


Directions: Use Golf Club Design, Fitting, Alteration & Repair and your own experiences to answer the worksheet questions on the impact of loft (pages 404 – 416), bulge (pages 448 – 450), and roll of woods and metal woods (pages 448 – 450) on ball flight. You may also ask your supervising professional or golf repair professional for assistance.

Identify where in the Golf Club Design, Fitting, Alteration & Repair manual you were able to locate the answers to the questions below.

Define

What is loft?

What is bulge?

What is roll?

AnswerWhy aren’t the faces of woods and metal woods flat or on a horizontal plane?

Why do metal woods commonly have less bulge than wood woods?

Why is the loft of a typical metal wood stronger than the loft of a typical wood?

Activity 15: Setting Up and Running a Profitable Club Repair Facility

Refer to Lessons 12 & 13 in the Golf Club Design and Repair Self Study Manual to complete this activity.

Part 1:

Directions: Use the grids included here to design and draw a floor plan of the workshop for your facility. You can design the workshop to fit in your current facility or make up a new one. Either format the grid tables provided, or photocopy them and execute manually.

The floor plan view should look down on the shop through the roof. Be sure to include:

• A key at the bottom of the page that shows the measurement scale you used in the drawing.

• Drawings of the areas where certain tools or materials will be stored. Remember to label all of your drawings.

• Drawings or labels identifying where doors, windows, lighting and electrical outlets will be.

• Notes that identify any areas where additional work, such as removing a wall, adding a door, or putting in ventilation, will be necessary.

Use the grids to indicate where your workshop is in reference to the other parts of your facility. For example, if the workshop will be part of the golf shop, indicate where in the golf shop it will be.
