Golf Ball Challange
Due Date: 5/15/2014
Subject: Design Engineering - Grades 9-12

Design a device that will launch a golf ball with the most accuracy using the materials provided. The object is to build a launcher that will propel a golf ball into the mini golf course and sink the ball in one of the holes. The course is designed with three holes. The holes are rated at various degrees of difficulty. The easiest hole to achieve will yield (1) point, the second hole will yield (3) points and the thirds hole will yield (5) points. Each person is given 10 shots to achieve the highest score. The ball must remain in the cup; "bounce outs" do not count.
