Personal Narrative: A Career As A Golf Player

335 Words2 Pages

In sixth grade I began to play golf after I received my first set of golf clubs for my birthday. I immediately went to the driving range to try out my new clubs. When I hit my first good golf shot I fell in love with the game. I began to start practicing on a daily basis and I also decided to start participating in tournaments. When the spring of my freshman year came around, I tried out for the golf team. Not knowing what to expect, I tried my hardest during tryouts hoping to get a spot on the Junior Varsity team. To my surprise, the coach told me that I would be the only freshman playing on the Varsity team. I was very excited to get a taste of what competing at the varsity level would be like.

Eventually I worked my way up to a starting position on varsity, thanks to the support and teachings of the upperclassmen.

Playing with that travel team has its downsides; it was only in the summer and was different from something like high school where it was one game, there were multiple a day, and lasted a weekend, which I was not a fan of most of the time.
