On a 18-hole golf course, there are par-3 holes, par -4 holes, and par-5 holes. A golfer who shoots par on every hole has a total of 74. There are twice as many par-4 holes as there are par-5 holes. How many of each type of hole are there on the golf course?

How many par-3 holes are there?
How many par-4 holes are there?
How many par-5 holes are there?

equation1: 3*N3 + 4*N4 + 5*N5 = 74
equation2: N3 + N4 + N5 = 18
equation3: 2*N5 = N4

insert equation 3 into equations 1 and 2, and simplify.
3*N3 + 4*2*N5 + 5*N5 = 74
N3 + 2*N5 + N5 = 18

3*N3 + 13*N5 = 74
N3 + 3*N5 = 18

now insert the simplified equation 2 into the simplified equation 1, and simplify further.
3*(18-3*N5) + 13*N5 = 74
54 – 9*N5 + 13*N5 = 74
4*N5 = 20
-> N5 = 5

via equation3 -> N4 = 10
via equation2 -> N3 = 3

hence, 3 par-3s, 10 par-4s, and 5 par-5s….

cheers

EDIT: slowfing…. your matrix has a typo
3 4 5 74
0 1 -2 0
1 1 1 18

What Is A Golf Club?

Posted by admin on May-28-2009

Every golfer knows how superb golf clubs deeply affects gameplay; providing loft, making important backspins, and even those crucial moments and deft touches over the green. Golf clubs are the immediate extension of a player’s skill, the player’s game. It is a mutual collaboration of skill and contrivance that will spell how a game proceeds.

Suffice to say (or simply put!), getting the best golf club can always make your game improve. Some clubs are designed to compensate your weak spot. The only hindrance though is the seemingly endless option of good clubs out there that would ultimately leave you more confused than when you first started.

Getting the best golf clubs doesn’t require a mean technique. It’s a matter of choosing the right one in case something else’s isn’t working. Take for instance Utility Woods over Long Irons. Utility Woods is perfect for those who can’t wield Long Irons. Likewise, many people tend to forget how essential shaft lengths can be. The rule is: Make sure length and lie angle matched to your swing. Shortening the shafts can lead to a more comfortable stroke; however you might not notice the weakening of the power of the strokes you’ve made. Why is that? Physics. The lesser the length of the shaft, the lesser too the speed at which the club head travels. In such event you need to add a bit lead tape at the back of the putter to compensate the power loss. Alternatively, Graphite Shafts are also other cool choice for selection of golf clubs for those who don’t have much strength to wield a heavy one.

While Woods are fairly non existent in any golfers’ bags in the past, almost everybody now uses the Fairway Woods. That is because everybody knows how Woods provide a reasonable power with minimal precision, unlike the Long Iron which requires a strong swing and a fairly accurate hit to get the ball up, especially on rough grass.

Remember though, it’s by experiencing each type that you can eventually decide which is best. Like the aspect of flexibility with the golf shafts and how it also can affect ball delivery which is relatively unknown to starter players. Make sure of golf clubs if they have the appropriate flex for you. Start with the softest flex then move towards the stiffer ones while choosing the best flex. And weight is always beneficial to any strokes as it makes your swing smoother and adds impact.

Traveling jobs in the golf industry?

Posted by admin on May-24-2009

Are there any jobs at resorts or clubs, preferably with golf, that allow you to travel?

I have a degree in Marketing.

I would say the greatest traveling golf job would be a sales rep for an equipment manufacturer…you get all of the cool toys & you probably get to participate in the testing/use of these products. I don’t think working for a resort would allow you to travel..seems like you’d have to work AT the resort.

Hybrid Golf Club Equipment

Posted by admin on May-23-2009

The main gear in a golfer’s golf game is their set of golf clubs. The issue with them improving their golf game is their reluctance to switch from tried and tested golf clubs they are using. With technology improving for golf clubs, it is bright to look at the new kid in town – the hybrid golf club. The hybrid golf club evokes the same emotion as your used golf clubs, but has an improved effectiveness as there is a huge improvement in shot power when you first use it. You will find many golfers, including professionals adding the best callaway hybrid to their current arsenal of equipment.

A standard golf club normally will be the cheaper priced solution, compared to a hybrid golf club, but the improvements in score make up for the extra money. No quicker method exists to improve your game then to simply improve the equipment you are using. As with any golf club that you purchase, the price will vary depending on the make and quality. Callaway Hybrid Golf clubs are an example of a golf club where the quality of the materials used is indicative of the price you are paying for.

What should you do before getting a Hybrid Golf Club?

As a consumer looking into purchasing your first or tenth hybrid golf club, you should do your research. The normal case is “you get what you pay for”, and generally the pricier it is the better quality the product is. While a good theory to go by, you should ensure that you are buying the right club that is right for you. Hybrid golf clubs are an amazing technology, but they won’t instantly work magic and you need to step up in the golf club sets you buy as your game improves.

Should I still buy Callaway Golf Club Sets?

Callaway products offer a great range of golf club equipment, like all other top manufacturers, but the choice is yours in the end. You may have loyalty to a specific brand and may want to only buy from that company. It may also be a wise decision to try out a different brand. Just purchase one club from a different company and try out the club to see if you find a better choice. A perfect way to try out many different brands is purchasing used golf club sets. This can save you a signifcant amount of money, and provide you the opportunity to test a more larger variety of clubs than if you were to purchase them new.

I am planning an activity for a school. We are going to play a 9 hole mini golf course. I need a template for a scorecard that I can adapt for our school. Does any one know where I can download a template for a score card?

If you can't find a free template online, you could just create one in excel.
