Golf Quote: “Golf is about how well you accept, respond to, and score with your misses much more so than it is a game of your perfect shots.” – Dr. Bob Rottella

Golf Stuff: A non-dimpled golf ball will only travel less than half the distance of a dimpled ball. Dimples produce turbulence in the boundary layer flow around the golf ball and reduce the separation point of the flow on the back of the ball. This creates less drag and therefore more distance. And that's what a degree in rocket science will do for you.

Golf Quote: “A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing.” – Payne Stewart

Golf Stuff: The amazing thing about golf is that at the end of the day golfers don’t remember the multitude of horrible shots they made. All they remember is their one great shot and this memory inspires them to come back again and again in an attempt to make another great shot. It’s no wonder that golf is so addicting.

Golf Quote: “Someone once told me that there is more to life than golf. I think it was my ex–wife.” – Bruce Lansky

Golf Stuff: Golf is a metaphor for life. It's not the score that counts, but what you learn along the way. As in life, golf requires goal setting, working with others and digging deep when things get tough (perseverance). Golf is a perfect practice ground for learning skills that go far beyond the fairways.
