2011 Other Side of the Green Kids Golf Foundation of Illinois ABOUT SNAG INSTRUCTIONAL POSTERS SNAG INSTRUCTIONAL POSTER INFORMATION SNAG Instructional Posters help facilitators convey the basic golf fundamentals to children in their SNAG Programs. These posters can serve as a visual aid while you are instructing a particular fundamental or skill, as well as outline safety. Topics Include Chipping - Long Y Chipping - Swing Clock Equipment - Core Tools Equipment - Targets Equipment - Training Tools Full Swing - Power L Full Swing - Swing Clock Grip - Left-Handed Grip - Right-Handed Pitching - Make An L Pitching - Swing Clock Putting - Make Wide Y Putting - Swing Clock Safety Tips - Safe To Swing Safety Tips - Safety Zone Stance Suggestions On Who Can Present This Topic Site Coordinator PGA/LPGA Professional High School or College Student-Athlete Designated Volunteer Caddie 1 CHIPPING - LONG Y INFORMATION Why This Topic Is Important A chip is the shot made from just off the Short Stuff (the green), that flies a short distance and rolls a longer distance. Proper chipping technique will be best used to hit a shot to make it onto the green and/or towards the target. The goal is to hit the ball as close to the target as possible to help reduce strokes. When This Topic Could Be Best Introduced And Discussed During The Program This topic can be introduced during the chipping training section of the program. It would be helpful to discuss chipping while demonstrating it to the participants. The “Chipping – Long Y” SNAG Instructional Poster is great when paired with the “Chipping - Swing Clock” SNAG Instructional Poster. Keep a proper stance when swinging; reference the “Stance” SNAG Instructional Poster. Questions To Ask Participants About This Topic Q: What would happen if you picked your head up mid-stroke? A: If participants were to pick their head up mid-stroke, they would cause the arms to change position and more than likely cause the ball to go off-line or miss the ball completely. Q: If your wrists break, how would that affect your ball flight? A: If the participant’s wrists break, the ball would not go straight which may cause the ball to miss the hole. Q: If you took a full swing, would the ball go further or shorter? A: The ball would go further if you took a full swing. Q: To keep control of the chip shot, should the ball be kept low to the ground or hit high in the air? A: Keep the ball low to the ground to keep control and make a better chip shot. Q: Why is this form called the “Long Y”? A: This form is called the “Long Y” because that is the shape the arms make when in the proper position. Additional Facts To Discuss On This Topic Lean in towards the target, distributing the majority of weight on the front foot closest to the target. When chipping, use the FlagSticky Base or Rollerama as a target to hit to. For additional information, view the following pages in the SNAG Manual: General Information and Instruction, page 17. General Information and Instruction, page 26. General Information and Instruction, page 41. For additional information and ideas view the Curriculum Lesson Plans. CHIPPING - SWING CLOCK INFORMATION Why This Topic Is Important Proper chipping technique will be best used to hit a shot to make it onto the green and/or towards the target. The swing clock will help the participants gain a visual on how far they should bring their hands and arms back and forth for a good chip shot. A chip is the shot made from just off the Short Stuff (the green) that flies a short distance and rolls a longer distance. 2 When This Topic Could Be Best Introduced And Discussed During The Program The “Chipping - Swing Clock” SNAG Instructional Poster should be demonstrated at the chipping station before participants are given clubs. This topic would be best introduced with the “Chipping - Long Y” SNAG Instructional Poster. Questions To Ask Participants About This Topic Q: What numbers should you swing to and from on the swing clock? A: Take the club head back to the 8 o’clock position and follow through until the 4 o’clock position. Q: What would happen if you picked your head up mid-stroke? A: If the participant was to pick their head up mid-stroke, they would more than likely miss the ball completely. Q: If you made a bigger swing would the ball go further or shorter? A: A bigger swing would make the ball go further. Q: To keep control of the ball, should it be low to the ground or high in the air? A: When chipping, the ball should be low to the ground in order to keep better control of the direction. Additional Facts To Discuss On This Topic The clock in this concept is used to give the participants a familiar visual to use when practicing chipping. Participants can visualize holding their club in the 6 o’clock position and swinging back to the 8 o’clock position. Stay in line with the arrow on the Launch Pad to swing straight and accurate. When chipping, use the FlagSticky Base or the Rollerama as a target to hit to. For additional information, view the following pages in the SNAG Manual: General Information and Instruction, page 17. General Information and Instruction, page 26. General Information and Instruction, page 41. For additional information and ideas view the Curriculum Lesson Plans. EQUIPMENT - CORE TOOLS INFORMATION Why This Topic Is Important Teaching each piece of equipment to participants will help with safety and understanding the equipment. SNAG is uniquely designed golf equipment that is perfect for all skill levels and can be used in an indoor or outdoor area to help improve a participant’s golf game. When This Topic Could Be Best Introduced And Discussed During The Program This topic would be best introduced during the beginning of the program to educate the participants on the equipment used. The “Equipment – Core Tools” can be introduced along with the “SNAG Safety Tips” SNAG Instructional Posters to show how to properly and safely handle all of the equipment. The “Equipment - Training Tools” SNAG Instructional Poster is a part of the SNAG equipment that can be shared with this section as well. Questions To Ask Participants About This Topic Q: What do you use a Launch Pad for? A: The Launch Pad is the mat used to launch the SNAG Ball. Q: How do you use the Launchers and Rollers? A: The Launcher is the club that is used to launch the SNAG Ball from the Launch Pad. The Roller is the club used only on the Short Stuff (the green) to roll the SNAG Ball toward the FlagSticky Base. 3 Q: How would you set up the Launch Pad, Tee, and SNAG Ball? A: The Tee is used in the Launch Pad to hold the SNAG Ball up. Insert the tee from under the Launch Pad. Place the SNAG Ball on top of the tee to hit the ball. Q: Which club will hit the ball further than the other, the Launcher or Roller? A: The Launcher will hit the ball further and is used for a full swing, pitch, or chip shot. Q: When do you use a Tee? A: You can use the tee for a full swing, chip, or pitch shot. Q: Where does the yellow arrow on the Launch Pad point? A: The arrow on the Launch Pad points towards the target. Additional Facts To Discuss On This Topic A SNAG ball is a fuzzy ball with a large dot and directional arrow used to play the game of SNAG. Discuss how the SNAG equipment is similar to regular golf equipment but is just oversized golf equipment for beginners. For additional information and uses, view the following page in the SNAG Manual: General Information and Instruction, page 14. EQUIPMENT – TARGETS INFORMATION Why This Topic Is Important This gives the participant a target to aim towards when practicing. Targets provide a challenge to the participants to make their golf shots more accurate and replicate a golf course. These targets will help develop a sense of aim and alignment skills. The different targets will show immediate results on how the participant is doing. The different numbers on the targets can be used to create a game or competition for the participants. When This Topic Could Be Best Introduced And Discussed During The Program These targets should be set up at the different stations for putting, chipping, pitching, or full swing. They can be discussed when teaching the participants about the different equipment used in the program. The “Equipment – Targets” would be best introduced with the “Equipment - Training Tools” and “Equipment - Core Tools” SNAG Instructional Posters. Questions To Ask Participants About This Topic Q: Why is it a good idea to practice your golf swing by hitting towards a target? A: It is a good idea to practice a golf swing using targets because it becomes more consistent and helps you see results. With a more consistent swing, the participant will create muscle memory which consolidates a specific motor task into memory through repetition. Q: When using a Roller, what target would you hit the SNAG Ball towards? A: The FlagSticky Base is the end target consisting of the flag, pole, and sticky base. This is placed on the Short Stuff (the green), and can be used with a Roller or Launcher. The Rollerama is a triangular target used to practice chipping and rolling SNAG Balls. Q: When using a Launcher, what target would you hit the SNAG Ball towards? A: The Bullseye is designed for participants to aim towards while making a full swing using a Launcher.

    SEQUOYA REVIEW UTC’s Annual Literary & Arts Magazine 2017 Thanks to Sarah Einstein, this year's advisor ARTIST STATEMENT A Statement from the Cover Artist: Sarah Bowers “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” -Mark Twain SEQUOYA REVIEW 3 FOREWORD Foreword To borrow from our own Olivette Petersen’s poem “Immortality,” I truly believe that in this journal you will find “a million memories . a thousand pictures . a piece of yourself” – one that you’re looking to share, and maybe some that you keep hidden. This journal is a stained-glass mosaic of stories true and imagined, and of artwork that speaks without words. These pages are inhabited by commonality, but also by an unfathomable number of totally unique experiences. They weave together in beautiful diversity. Making art is how we is how we explore what it means to live, and it’s how we live forever. Take a look.

  • Fractures & Outlines – 2019 – Defensless – Album Lyrics End of the World
    Fractures & Outlines – 2019 – Defensless – Album Lyrics End of the world These thoughts are rushing through my head, the friends I've hurt, the things I've said I'm hanging by a thread. I've got to learn to let things go, I know it feels alright but it's all just for show, I've got to figure things out on my own. No more excuses, just act and then we'll see It's not the end of the world, but what's it supposed to be? Your words are different, but sound the same to me, It's not the end of the world, but what's it supposed to be? To be honest I've been broken, torn apart so many times, but I made it out alive. I've been fixing myself and I got back up, every single time, every single time. No more excuses, just act and then we'll see It's not the end of the world, but what's it supposed to be? Your words are different, but sound the same to me, It's not the end of the world, but what's it supposed to be? If it's not the end of the world, then what's it supposed to be? (x8) I'm tired and I'm anxious, my demons submerge me, this used to be good but you're making it worse No more excuses, just act and then we'll see It's not the end of the world, but what's it supposed to be? Your words are different, but sound the same to me, It's not the end of the world, but what's it supposed to be? Over my head Let's settle things right here, I know it's been a while, I've been counting years Always thought I could call you a friend, guess I was wrong, since you were playing pretend.
