About the Author
I, Kelly
McCartney, am currently attending the University
of Alaska Fairbanks and I am working toward a
Bachelors in Geological Engineering. I made this
website as a project for my Physics 212 class. I
have played golf since my Freshman year of high
school. It's a game I really enjoy, and it is a
game that I can readily see the effects of physics
in. That is why I decided to do the Physics of Golf
as by project. I hope you learn something from this
website and are inspired to play a round or two
with your newfound physics of golf knowledge.
Some of my golfing
accomplishments
Freshman Year:
Washington Women's League Champion, Districts
qualifier.
Sophomore Year: Washington Women's
League Champion, Districts 2nd place, State 12th place.
Junior Year: Washington Women's League
Champion, Districts 2nd place, State qualifier.
Senior Year: Washington Women's League
Champion, Districts 2nd place, State qualifier.
-Currently I am still golfing,
forever loving the game and learning more about
the physics that is involved in it.
