Evan Altenburger 1 Mr. Utendorf English 8.1 4 April 2023 Why the LIV Golf Tour is bad for sports Choosing to watch the LIV Golf Tour is a bad choice because, “In its simplest form many believe LIV Golf to be sportswashing to cover up Saudi Arabia’s appalling human rights record” (Townsend 1). The LIV Golf Tour which originated last year has only drawn an average of 300,000 views while the PGA Tour has an average of drawing in almost 1 million people per tournament. The LIV Golf Tour is bad for sports and the people it has signed because the tour conveys terrible ideas about the sport of golf

Premier Sportsman, Inc., is compiled of generations of hunters. Growing up, I was given many opportunities to see what hunting, fishing and nature was all about. Later, as a husband, father and grandfather I discovered what it meant to have that perfect story. That perfect hunt, a guided trip, up in the hills with my buddies, in a drift boat on the Kenai or Columbia River... Creating and capturing memories are what is important to us at a Premier a Sportsman, Inc.
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

“I have to work.” Four words. But they flipped my world upside down. My baseball coach looked at me, annoyed and slightly shocked. He responded and said, “If you choose work, don’t bother coming back to baseball again.”
At the moment, Spieth is attempting to claim his third major championship of 2015, a feat that has been accomplished by only one player in history, Ben Hogan. Without Spieth, McIlroy and the popularity of Ricky Fowler, it’s hard to imagine where the PGA Tour’s popularity would be. Even though Spieth is chasing history, headlines generally refer to the unsuccessfulness of Woods. Despite his atrocious play, Woods is still the most popular golfer on any course. His magnetism hasn’t diminished because we all remember his hole-in-one at the 1997 Phoenix Open, or his finger-point at the 2000 PGA Championship when he followed the ball into the hole, or his gutsy performance on an injured knee to defeat Rocco Mediate at the 2008 U.S. Open.
It happened on June 11, 2015. My lacrosse team won our regional quarter final game the previous day—I scored my personal best of five goals and was named Player of the Game. As a reward for the win, my coach gave us a three hour practice the next day that was strictly conditioning—leaving the seniors 30 minutes to go home, shower, change, and drive to our Senior Dinner at Bowdoin College. I raced home from practice, my sweat sticking to the car leather seats, music blasting, and the wind in my hair. I had the future on my mind: playoffs, graduation, summer, and college.

I’ve been golfing since I was a little kid. I’ve experienced many highs and lows, and have created many friendships and memories playing the game I love. Golf can teach you many lessons, if you pay attention. One of the lessons I’ve learned is that it takes perseverance and hard work if you want to excel at something. I started hitting golf balls at the age of 2 with my dad and older brother.
This could mean having nine different types of shots to practice, using only one club and spending two hours on the driving range practicing one of these shots. The game required foresight, preparation, and good decision making skills. They studied the rules tediously in order to give themselves the best chance on the
