Abstract
AbstractA popular quote related to the game of golf comes from one of its greatest players, Bobby Jones:“Competitive golf is played mainly on a five‐and‐a‐half‐inch course, the space between your ears.”Since the space between one's ears is also important in Systems Engineering, perhaps the game of golf can provide us with some useful insights.This paper introduces a dozen of the more common phrases in the game of golf, such as, “keep your head down and follow through.” First, we describe what the phrase means in golf. Then, we postulate some analogies and applications of this phrase to the discipline of Systems Engineering.While lighthearted in nature, this paper seeks to do more than just entertain. The analogies we use will help to shine a light on ways to approach the challenges that Systems Engineers face in today's dynamic environment.
