Miniature Golf Project

1
Miniature Golf Project

• Your group represents a golf course design and
  construction company
• There will be no more than 5 members per group
  with the following responsibilities
• Course Design
• Sample Hole Construction
• Cost Analysis
• Power Point Presentation

2
Course Design

• Make a scale drawing of your 9 hole golf course
• Find area, perimeter, and direct distance to hole
  
• Be sure not to count interior edges between
  different areas
• Use color
• Pocket diameter is 3in., but you can use a
  point in the sketch
• Show the scale for each hole
• Assume all holes are flat

3
Individual Hole Design Requirements

• Design your hole using geometric shapes
• Calculate the area, perimeter
• Show hole-in-one route with a dotted line
• You should always make it possible to get a
  hole-in-one
• Adjust hole shape if necessary
• Calculate the distance required for a hole-in-one
• Decide on realistic par for each hole (at least 2)

4
Sample Hole 1

• Area (with pocket) 32.27 sq.ft
• Perimeter 35.91ft
• Distance 10.58ft
• Par 2

5
Sample Hole 2

• Area (with pocket) 33.62 sq.ft
• Perimeter 43.89ft
• Distance 8.95ft
• Par 2

6
Sample Hole 3

• Area (w/pocket, w/o bumpers) 21.35 sq.ft
• Perimeter (w/bumper edges) 40.59ft
• Distance 8.78ft
• Par 3

7
Sample course layout

• Uses sample holes 2,3
• Use rotations and dilations

8
Portfolio

• Portfolio (13 page minimum)
• Cover pageschool appropriate company name and
  logo
• One page for each sample hole
• One course layout diagram
• An accounting sheet with cost breakdown
• A sample score card listing par and direct length
  for each hole

9
Model Hole

• Make a model of one hole on your course
• Use cardboard, wood, styrofoam, whatever works
  best
• This model must be life size as we will be
  using it to play golf
• Calculate area and perimeter using geometric
  formulae

10
Marketing

• Decide on a school appropriate company name, a
  golf course name, and golf course theme
• Design the score card, listing par and direct
  length for each hole

11
Accounting

• You will need to come up with the costs of
  construction using the following data (and
  ignoring labor, etc.)
• Turf1.25/sq.ft
• Trim around hole,bumpers 0.25/ft.
• Cement bumpers2.50/sq.ft
• Pocket5 each
• Calculate the following
• Costs for each hole
• Cost for each material
• Total costs

12
Technical Support

• Put all documents from your group members into a
  PowerPoint presentation
• Make it look good!
• Explain all the geometry used in the design of
  the course

13
Assessment

• Each group is responsible for a
• PowerPoint presentation
• Portfolio consisting of a
• Cover pageschool appropriate company name and
  logo
• One page for each sample hole
• One course layout diagram
• An accounting sheet with cost breakdown
• A sample score card
• Model of a hole
• Every group member gets the same grade, except
  for obvious exceptions
• This project is worth a test grade.
• Your project is due May 9!!
• GET ORGANIZED ASAP
