Uncovering the Truth Behind ‘Drive for Show, Putt for Dough’: A Statistical Study of the Game of Golf.

For my project, I plan to research the Professional Golf Association (PGA). I plan to try to uncover the answer to the question: what statistics really matter and are the most important to focus on, or is there truth behind the famous statement “Drive for show, Putt for Dough?” In trying to uncover which set of statistics really help in a player’s performance, I will be able to offer points in every golfer’s game, where if they practiced more in these areas, they will have a statistically better chance at success in the game.

Doll of Hope

Utilizing the 3 branches of my IDS focus (English, Education and History), I have written and illustrated a children’s book titled “Doll of Hope.” This is a tale about two little girls attending the Japanese Immersion School in Eugene. While playing ‘dress-up,’ the girls find a beautiful doll. They discover she is a missing ‘Friendship Doll.’ much of the book is based on the history of two dolls, Miss Kanagawa, and Miss Fukuoka, who were given to Oregon in 1927. A festival highlights their reunion!
