Basic golf swing tips with Peter Mancuso (grades 2-12)  I will be going over some basic golf swing tips geared toward beginner golfers and those interested in learning or improving their swing.  I will talk about the grip, stance and alignment with the goal of getting everyone a good foundation before moving on to the golf swing. When talking about the swing, I will review some drills I have learned over the years and some basic swing concepts to think about when practicing and playing.  Those watching can follow along and perform some of the drills and incorporate the tips after the session is over, re-watching when necessary, or try and participate as I move through the lesson. Suggested equipment needed: golf club (a lofted club works best … 9 iron or pitching wedge), tennis balls (or plastic wiffle balls), outside area to participate in.

Students may create independent studies with supervising teachers throughout their Upper School experience or, during Grade 12, they can design Capstone projects—intensive collaborations with Harley faculty and off-campus mentors—involving rigorous academic study and culminating in public presentations. They are empowered to create their own curriculum, set goals, and work on time management skills in order to accomplish their objectives.

Independent Studies run the gamut from The Psychology of Sports to Furniture Design to The Neuroimaging of Alzheimer’s Disease. Capstones, meanwhile, are as diverse as the students who pursue them: Fictional Rochester, Autobiographical Art, Biomimicry Education, Organic Fuel, and Rochester Refugees. 

Indicative of Upper School curiosity and creativity, pursuits such as these distinguish our graduates in college. Through deep dives of this sort, Harley students master more than speaking, writing, and computing: they learn to communicate, advocate, collaborate, organize, listen, and empathize.
