As I sit here creating my final inquiry post, I ponder a few things. The first question I have is, what was my goal with this project. Well, my goal with this project was to make myself a better golfer by holding myself accountable to actively attempt to improve. Did I improve? No. The answer is no. I would say parts of my game have taken strides while other parts have severely regressed. The parts that have improved over this semester have been my chipping and iron play. My irons used to be the worst part of my game as I could hardly hit them well but now they are the strongest part. My chipping has always been pretty consistent and it held the course and then some. My driver is a different story sadly. Through the summer I was able to stripe the thing and I had the most confidence in the world. Now I can’t even look at it. I’m scared to use it! Golf is such a weird sport because it is so hard to have all facets of your game going well at the same time. If my driver is solid, my irons are off. If my putting is dialled in, my chipping falls off a cliff. It is hard sometimes but I keep reminding myself that I’m not a professional and can not hold myself to such a high standard.

My second point of ponder stems from the project itself. Did I have fun with it and was it helpful? To answer the first part of that question, yes I had a ton of fun. It was a very unique project and the fact that it was low pressure and stretched the entire semester was very cool. I really liked how much freedom we had with it. We could basically do whatever we chose. For the second part, I think it was helpful in the fact that I was able to document parts of my golf game that were good or bad but I would’ve liked to have done more inquiry. It turned into more of a blog of sorts rather than an inquiry project but that’s ok.

In the end, I had a lot of fun with it and that’s all that matters.

Thanks for reading!
