Personal Narrative: The Best Golfer

My grandpa taught me about the sport and I just immediately got hooked onto it. Ever since I learned about the sport I would always go to the driving range to practice and to try to get good at it. My parents didn’t think it was a good idea at first because I was only a year old. I was also taught on how to act on the course and to control myself if I hit a bad shot. Golf fits my personality because it was the only sport I really was interested in and that I wanted to be part of any sport and that’s how I learned about

Zane Wentzell has been playing golf for nine years, as a sophomore this is his first year playing on a team. Zane says “I think it’s great that when you go out there and play you get to experience what people usually toss aside as ‘you know it 's not a sport and you really get to see first hand that it 's a mental game and it does require a lot of skill more so than people give it credit for.’’ The variety of people is really interesting to Zane, and to him he feels he is able to

Very often you are having and off day and you are doubting your ability yet you have played many times before. I am also hardworking, no matter what I do, it is not good enough. We live in a time where you have to compete to become a professional golfer and in the words of Ed Macauley “ you always have to give one hundred percent, because if you don 't someone someplace, will give one hundred percent and will beat you when you meet”. The physical ability of players has improved tremendously and you do have to give one hundred percent to just make it you have to give it one hundred and ten percent to be the best.

At the peak of the career of golf superstar Tiger Woods, golf had reached a higher level of popularity than had ever been seen before. Fans tuned in to watch Woods dominate the game in an exciting, athletic manner. Many other started playing the game themselves, motivated by the unprecedented performances that Woods brought.

In my eighth grade year I was attending tournament held at Western Kentucky University. I won two of my three events and was debated when I got second in the other. I remember my mother saying to me, “Jack, you did so well today, yet you are not even excited about it.

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.

Understanding the mental game of golf is crucial to being competitive.

Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls”.
