The Design of our course -
The theme of our golf course is cats.  We called it 
Cat World Golf Course.  We worked on the board in 
groups of two.  We shared the board with another 
group of two.  If you wanted too, you could make 
the board by yourself.  I think it's more fun working 
with a partner.  Both of our plans cross the board 
diagonally.  The other one has a bridge above us 
where our plans intersect.
What we tried to do -
We tried to make a hard course.  In the beginning, we were 
really stuck, but then we got a really good idea.  Usually we 
got the best ideas when we were working on our courses, or 
because of something we saw.  Our teachers required that 
we have a moving part.  We also had to use all the space 
on our board.

The problems we had
We had some problems making our cat.  We kept thinking it 
looked stupid, or it was deformed.  We also had a problem 
with people taking things from our board.  Also, some things 
wouldn't stay on by just shoving them in the board.  Another 
thing that happened was Jessie and I would disagree a lot.

How we solved our problems -
We decided that the cat looked fine.  We replaced 
the things that people took off the boards.  We glued 
the things that wouldn't stay on the board.  When we 
disagreed we would make a deal, Jessie would get 
her way on something, and then I would get my way 
the next time we disagreed.  (There was a lot of 
decisions to make.)
