Transcript Miniature Golf Project

Miniature Golf Project
• Your group represents a golf course design and
construction company
• There will be 6 members per group with the
following responsibilities
–
–
–
–
–
–
Course Designer
Consulting
Hole Designer
Accounting
Marketing
Technical Support
Course Designer
• Make nine holes on Geometer’s Sketchpad, each as a
separate sketch
– Find area, perimeter, and direct distance to hole for each one
• 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
• Make overall course map showing all holes
– Use dilations and reflections to put all holes together
– Show the scale used
– Don’t worry about area between holes (or cost of constructing
that area)
Consulting
• List geometry standards used in making of course
• Work alongside course designer to show hole-inone route with a dotted line
– Adjust hole shape if necessary
– You should always make it possible to get a hole-inone
– Use reflections
• Decide on realistic par for each hole (at least 2)
Sample Hole 1
•
•
•
•
Area (with “pocket”) = 32.27 sq.ft
Perimeter = 35.91ft
Distance = 10.58ft
Par 2
Sample Hole 2
• Area (with “pocket”)
= 33.62 sq.ft
• Perimeter = 43.89ft
• Distance = 8.95ft
• Par 2
Sample Hole 3
• Area (w/“pocket”, w/o
bumpers) = 21.35 sq.ft
• Perimeter (w/bumper
edges) = 40.59ft
• Distance = 8.78ft
• Par 3
Sample course layout
• Uses sample holes 2,3
• Use rotations and
dilations
Hole Designer
• Make a scale model of a single hole
• Use a shoe box, wood, styrofoam, whatever
works best
• Calculate area and perimeter using
geometric formulae (not using GSP)
• Indicate the scale

– Turf:$1.25/sq.ft
– Trim around hole,bumpers:
$0.25/ft.
– Cement bumpers:$2.50/sq.ft
– “Pocket”:$5 each
• Calculate the following:
– Costs for each hole
– Cost for each material
– Total costs
Marketing
• Decide on a company name, a golf course
name, and golf course theme
• Design advertising and/or other information
• Design the score card, listing par and direct
length for each hole
• List course rules and costs to play
• Lead the presentation of your group
Technical Support
• Put all Geometer’s Sketchpad, Excel, and
all other documents from your group
members into a PowerPoint/MacWorks
presentation
– Make it look good!
• Explain all the geometry used in the design
of the course
Assessment
• Each group is responsible for a PowerPoint presentation,
a copy for me on diskette of your presentation, and a
scale model of a hole; I’m not collecting anything else
• Every group member gets the same grade, except for
obvious exceptions
• If you think you’re done with your job, help someone
else in your group!
• Each individual grade (for each job) will be a score from
1 to 10, then all of it scaled to 100
• This project is worth 2.5% of your grade
• You will have 4 days of computer room time, with
presentations on the last half of the 4th day
