A beginner or someone who already plays golf must develop his or her own swing from the basic fundamentals of golf. Even the pros that seem to play the game so well do not all have the same swing. Their swings have been transfo...

Game Of Golf Left Shoulder
1,551 wordsThe Fundamental Golf Swing As I ran up and down the tee line, I saw my father slamming the ground with a golf club. I could not understand why he was always so angry when practicing.

20 Th Century Duke Ellington
3,213 wordsIn this research paper I will explore the origins and attempt to construct a loose temporal graph of the musical phenomenon known commonly as swing jazz. From its roots and derivative styles, I hope to prove that the assimilation of the black or Afro-American jazz music into the mainstream white culture of the early 20 th century was the cause of the sharp rise in the popularity of swing jazz.
