How to Play a “Dog-Leg” (Golf Hole With a Turn in the Fairway)

Assignment

On the course with your parent, find a hole with a dogleg (a turn in the fairway). Stand at the tee and try to estimate the angle of the dogleg — is it a sharp turn (close to 90 degrees) or a gentle turn (maybe 30 or 45 degrees)? Draw the hole from above in your math journal and mark your estimated angle. Then talk about: what are your options for playing this hole, and what angle would you aim at from the tee?
