I have recently picked up the sport of golf and have been actively working on perfecting my swing. I'm not sure what took me so long to pick up a club and play but due to the stay at home orders as well as recently moving to a house on the golf course I thought, what a great time to immerse myself in this sport. As I begin to dive into a variety of digital technology resources including videos, help forums, affinity spaces which includes places where learning happens and social media I have began to learn more about the basic techniques to swinging a golf club. In the image below you can see a visual of a typical swing arc. Through the use of Adam Young's Golf Blog as well as a video from Rick Shiels Golf, they both emphasize this arc as the starting point to working on your swing. I specifically enjoyed how Adam Young's blog post simplified his tips by creating bullet points instead of providing readers with an overwhelming amount of information. The few word sentence is more likely to stick with me and be a good reminder in my head as I begin to tee up the ball. The video below shows my starting point and as I continue this learning process and explore my networked learning project I will hopefully see a big change in my swing arc and how I hit the ball. I'm looking forward to continuing my education about golf as well as learning how these resources can be useful and applicable to my students as technology is a big part of their lives.
