Personal Narrative: Golf

When dusk arrives the winds dies, the temperature cools, and the it becomes quiet enough to hear the birds chirp and the tree leaves rustle. Late in the afternoon on a hot summer 's day is unlike any other part of the year. The blaring ring of the Cicadas drowns out most other sounds. They almost provide a soothing sound to numb your tenses so the golf becomes easier. All day on the golf course loosens the muscles to a point of tremendous rotation and ease of movement.

“LET'S GO!” Screams a player on my team who has clearly been at the field for a while, waiting anxiously for the first box lacrosse game of the season. This is my first season playing lacrosse; a sport that I've always wanted to play but never had the courage to try, until now. I arrive at the field, my heavy bag has started to cramp my hand before the game has even begun. Most of our team is there and is already padded up and waiting for the game to begin.

Adversity The team stood sweating in need of a break and water. Our coach only called timeouts when necessary and when he called it, everyone on the team sighed. We all had a much needed break to rest our throbbing legs. The coach drew a play in the huddle for me to score the winning basket and felt extra focused.

It's the last minute of our game against Fox Mills. We’re neck and neck. So close that the smallest mistake will determine our fate. I clutch the ball as tight as a hawk trying not to release its prey. Then I dribble as fast as a cheetah.

When I first started Carolina Courts I had no idea what I was getting into. First the season started horrible then our final game we reach the championships. I had no idea how unpredictable this season was going to be. If I could do it again I wouldn't have changed a thing. I was so excited as I saw the door of Carolina Courts this was going to be a great season.

The ball went flying through the air as if it was taken by the wind. I watched it and then was then yelled at to RUN! It was my first ever baseball hit. I Lined up inside the box itching to get my first hit. The pitcher got the signals from his coach.

Almost Making It Happen I expected to get a few bruises, but not a getting a concussion. Before the soccer game, my idea of a concussion was getting bumped in the head, receive headaches, and it would heal up in a week and then you would go back to the way you were. I was wrong. At times, concussions can be deadly, and if you have them more than once, it will decrease your chance of keeping your brain healthy and surviving. Concussions can also give you migraines and make you dizzy.

I was in the hospital. It was June 12, 2017 at Genisys Hospital. My grandma was dead lying in the hospital bed. I was crying for hours and hours. I could not sleep thinking my grandma was dead.

The touch on the brim of the hat and a slide across the waist. The call for a bunt my dad had used every year when he coached me in baseball. This year was my first year of kid pitch during the fall ball season. My team was oakland athletics and we were playing the Kansas city royals. I would soon learn a life lesson that I still use till this day.

that makes sense. What we 're doing, so that makes it-- yeah, if you were just watching one person play golf for like three hours, that would be really boring. But they switch in between people. It 's really just interesting at the end when there 's a few people and they 're competing against each other.

My Softball Tournament My softball team has been playing in the state tournament for three days straight, in the scorching hot sun. I had blisters on my hands and dirt in my shoes. My team had gone to play against the best teams in the state. I was so excited that we won our first two games.

Number eight, long and curvy, called my name to make my first birdie. It was one of the hardest holes on the Cobbs Glenn Golf Course. My dad and I cruised off the 7th hole to number eight. We gathered our equipment: golf clubs, balls, tees, and gloves. Together we leaped off the golf course and approached the tee box.
