Instructor: Ms. Wood

To many, golf is just a game. To those who know it best including our students at EMHS, it is like life; full of challenges, sand traps, water hazards, and lots of rough to the left & right. It is also full of beautiful scenery, rolling fairways, smooth-as-glass greens, and endless skies full of possibilities.  At its essence, golf is about a single individual golfer in pursuit of being the best he or she can be on that day. This discovery project is about each and every student pursuing a better game, showing up with a can-do attitude, selecting the right tool for the task, balancing risk vs. reward, acting with dignity and proper etiquette, playing fair, having fun and finishing no matter what challenges were faced.
