These students are part of golf's new image, which is no longer associated with retirees donning polyester pants. The new golfers are young, athletic and eager to partake in the sports blossoming popularity. Howe has instructed golf to CSUF students since 1980 through the school's Kinesiology Department. I just want to teach them to learn how to practice, that's what I want them to get out of the class. The class, taught at the Brea Golf Course after originally being taught at CSUF where the football stadium is now, emphasizes the basics of the game.
Students learn everything from swinging golf clubs to putting to the rules and etiquette of golf.
I would like to make it something I could do for fun on weekends. For several of the students, the class gives them their first hands-on experience with the sport. It would be fun to play golf with my friends and have a good time. For Rhonda Anderson, a senior in speech communications, golf is a completely different sport than what she is used to. Anderson played on the CSUF women's basketball team and said the two sports are very distinct.
