My son and I just competed in our first (of many years to come) Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.
We did very well for our first year, taking home 2nd place finishes both in my son's class and in the Dad/Outlaw class.
Im already brainstorming ideas for how to make next year even more fun and epic as this year was and something interesting popped into my head.
How Likely would it be to have a major golf company accept my challenge to build a pinewood derby car for next year's race?
Pinewood derby cars are all about maximizing weight placement with a limited amount of weight, aerodynamics play a role as well as steps to minimize friction. The cub scouts are limited to use the materials provided to them and the Dad's can use their imagination (think electric fan powered or CO2 powered)
Weight placement, MOI, aerodynamics are all a part of club design and I thought this could be a good way to engage today's youth with today's technology and design techniques.
Opinions? Does anyone with some weight in the golf community think this is a neat idea?
