I thought it was going to be a fun day at the golf course, but it ended up not being so good. So, this is what happened.
As I was leaving Joe’s golf bag my friends wished me luck, but they weren’t able to say it fast enough. And that’s when I saw the first hole right in front of me. I was, so excited I felt like there was nothing that could stop me from having a great day. Joe started to put me on the tee at what I thought was a perfect location. As I was thinking of what might happen today at the golf course, I was also, the fresh grass all around me. And that’s when I heard the bang, and before I knew it I was rushing through the air in excitement knowing this is going to be the best round in my life. As I landed I got so happy realizing that I was going to land right by the hole. Well that 's not what exactly happened instead I landed in a hole, but this one was filled with sand and the one I wanted to land in was at least hundred yards from where I am. This is when I knew it actually wasn’t going to be the best round ever, in fact it might be the worst day ever.
On the next hole I studied the hole carefully hoping that this hole was going to be better. As I was put on the tee, I realized how high I was and knew it was only a hundred-nineteen yard drive. That 's when I knew this was going to be another bad hole. I closed my eyes hoping that the wind would get strong and push me over, so I could try and run away or go back in his golf bag. That 's when I heard another
The war in Iraq has tremendous results in terms of living conditions, ecology, violence, and human rights. This is what Stephen Lendman exposes in his article. Whether they chose to stay and live in squatter slums, or flee to the neighboring countries, Iraqis are facing bad living conditions, living in poverty and lacking basic services such as sanitation or water. The Golf War has disastrous effects on the environment as well; because of destruction of power and chemical plants, factories, refineries, and water purification facilities, to name but a few, pollution has drastically increase, as well as diseases. Violence has reached a spike and the number of Human rights abuses in Iraq has raised too.
I became apart of Marcus Golf my sophomore year after I switched over from soccer. With a smooth transition I was able to be successful very early on. I was nominated to be team captain my sophomore year when I was on JV, and when I got moved up to Varsity I continued to be a strong leader. With lots of hard work and dedication every day I was able to win an award for Most Fairways my junior year. I enjoy being a part of this program, and love being a leader on and off the
and I went to the tee box to meet the players I was competing with that day. After we exchanged scorecards so that nobody would accuse another of cheating, we teed off. My first shot went far and to the left of the fairway but it was okay because the first hole was a dogleg to the left (A dogleg is when a hole goes straight for a
One fateful, mildly chilly, and cloudy April afternoon commenced where my stomach grumbled with cries of hunger and with the luck of the Irish, my coach was making me run extra since I was elected to play right field by the coach (poor decision on his part since I am not the fleetest of foot). As the outfield practice continued my chest was pounding harder and eventually
As I stepped out of the car door to head onto the field I could smell the freshly mowed grass and hear the birds chirp. It was a big day for me because I was about to try out for my first softball team. As I walked on the field there were other softball athletes throwing very strong to each other and that made me get nervous. Once I got my glove in my hand and started to throw I felt that I was throwing very well. The coaches Softball made me realize that you have to have leadership skills and
As I ran, I took a quick peek over and noticed the fielder had bobbled the ball. I was going to make it! And then
As the time of us teeing off grew closer I became more nervous and more nervous. While walking up to take my first shot my adrenaline was flowing. I addressed the ball, took a deep breath, said to myself “Just do you Noah!” I Swung the club and “SMACK” the golf ball connected with the face of the club. The ball zoomed through the air and onto the green.
Thump! Thump! Thump! My heart was a drum, I was so excited but nervous at the same time while I was jogging out on the field. We were playing against the SaberCats, and it looked like it was going to be tough competition.
Crack went the bat as I swung hard into the pitch. When I awoke this morning I didn’t think I would be hitting my first home run and win the game for my team. Awoke at 10:00 am. It was a beautiful day in Chicago, Illinois. I brushed my teeth, watched a little t.v, and threw on my baseball jersey.
It was a normal Saturday for my team, the Montgomery Rebels, at Lagoon Park, and there was not a cloud in the sky. My team and I were about to play a team called Triple Play (despite the name they could barely get a double play.) My coach, also known as my dad, came up to me and said, “Does your arm feel good?” Of course I responded, “Yes! “Well good, you are pitching this game.”
We learn to manage our emotions. The game of golf exposes us to experience the highs and the lows of the game. Ranging from birdies to triple bogeys, the twists and turns reward a young person 's ability to keep each stroke in perspective, helps us to manage emotions, maintain a positive outlook and focus on the nextgoal to keep going with the game . In today’s stressful life playing golf can help recharge the human mind and brain to think out of the box. Like in most games
A field shaped like a diamond followed by a meadow of grass. Sixty foot base paths that surrounds the infield in a counterclockwise direction. A batting count of three balls and two strikes. Three outs total in all seven innings of pure determined, back and forth softball between two teams. This place has been my home for years.
Throughout the summer of 2016, I learned that this mental toughness everyone is talking about really does impact you not only as a golfer, but as a person. It was roughly a week in a half before our golf sectionals. My golf season had been decent for a freshman but I was struggling with inconsistency. I was shooting roughly anywhere from the low to high 80’s.
As there were ten minutes before the game we kept on doing the drills until I heard my coach announcing the starting lineup. I heard my name being announced so I prepared myself to go to the field. I could already see the trophy as it was in a table. As I walked in the field I could smell the trimmed grass and could hear my teammates say “we got this.”
However, they also offered tasty free sub sandwiches that kept me coming back. Over time, I became more familiar with the experienced golfers, who I initially looked upon with disdain and didn’t think I will ever understand, because not only did they think it was good fun, but also a sport, to hit a little stationary ball around with a stick- alone. However, despite my stubborn views, I came to understand that nothing about them was lax. They spent countless hours on the range, drilling their swings, practicing multiple shots with different clubs. Not only did they practice to keep a consistent swing that would deliver on the course, but also practiced shaping shots to face the potentially difficult situations they might find themselves in on the course.
