One piece, two piece, three piece, FORE!

Jack's initial research lead him to conversations with Ron Gring, PGA Professional, Gring Golf (www.gringgolf.com) in Daphne, Alabama. Mr. Gring talked with Jack about the fact that a golf ball will react differently when different force is applied. Jack eventually tested his golf balls at two different swing speeds. In the end, his project won a first place medal in his school science fair and a second place medal in the regional science fair where, as a fifth grader, he competed against sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Thanks to Mr. Gring for all his help and advice.
