Taking a Swing at Golf

TAMPA, Fla. -- They spread out along the driving range that morning, six students who had never played golf. The pro at the University of South Florida's Claw course handed them each a bucket of balls.
"Okay, now, let's keep an arm's length between the next person," said Jeff Gibson, who is also a physical education professor at USF. "We all need to loosen up a bit, then we'll get started."
Alex Lange, 20, moved to the left end of the line. "I just want to make that beautiful ball go sailing into the sky," he said.
