| dc.description.abstract | How can we create a unique set of clubs and corresponding ball to help urban golfers differentiate themselves and to be played safely in urban environments while withstanding the impact against pavement? As urban golf has a major theme of saving money and having a relaxed minimalist mentality the club set will aim to adhere to those ideals by consisting of only the essential clubs that will be needed to accomplish the jobs to be done in a competitive environment. The set will consist of a three club system. First, a club to be optimized for distance to be used for the golfer to generally use as their first club of each hole to gain maximum distance. Second, an iron to be optimized for the approach shots that will be made for medium range while maintaining accuracy and control to get as close to the “hole” as possible. Lastly, a club to be used for the short range putts that will be optimized for maximum accuracy and precision to finish the hole in a minimal amount of strokes while keeping in mind the style of holes that are present in an urban golf environment. Coinciding with this club set, a golf ball must be designed with the environment it is used in and its performance as the primary focus. The ball must fly in a similar and effective manner as a traditional golf ball but made to prevent damage to the windows, fences, cars, etc. that is abundant within cities. | en_US |
