Excerpt from a recent News 24 article showcasing ISF 2024: Zac, a passionate golfer, has taken his love for the sport to the next level by combining his interest in physics with his love of golf. “Golf has always run in the family,” he says. “I grew up around the sport and my favourite subject has always been physics.” This unique combination led Zac to embark on a groundbreaking project – developing an app that could revolutionise how golfers approach the game. Zac’s app, designed to scan golf courses and provide personalised advice based on a player’s location, allows users to input data, set up profiles, and receive guidance on where to hit the ball. At its core, the app computes projectile motion, offering precise recommendations to improve swings and optimise performance. “It’s essentially computing the physics of golf in real-time.”

The development process wasn’t without its challenges. “Time management was a big hurdle,” Zac admits. “I would test the app, and if something didn’t work, I had to go back to the drawing board several times.” Zac’s goal is simple: he plans to launch the app for golf enthusiasts to use. “Representing my school is already a proud moment for me. Time and motivation will get me there.” As Zac continues to fine-tune his innovative app, it’s clear that his passion and determination will pave the way for a new era in golf technology.
