Introduction Cambridge Golf Course is a place I call my home. The eighteen-hole public golf course is in Evansville, Indiana about thirty minutes south from my hometown of Owensville, Indiana. Being a fairly long and open course with tall grasses that line each hole, it is one of the hardest courses in Southern Indiana. The course is intertwined with a subdivision filled with grand houses, and the stone covered Clubhouse with a large clock sits at the end of the street. There is a back patio where my high school team gathered after matches to turn in their scores and talk about their round. This place is not only where I met some of my closest friends, but also where I have spent countless hours devoted to improving my golf game, as well …show more content…
She has supported me by going to all my matches, driving me to and from Cambridge Golf Course, and assisting my team and coaches. Jill Sensmeier, my prime resource for this paper, I chose to interview further because one of her survey responses sparked my curiosity. Another family member I surveyed is my father, Jay Sensmeier, he has pushed and expected the most of me as a golfer and more importantly as a person. Even during farming harvest season, he was there supporting me; he would shut down the combine to watch me play at Cambridge. Without my dad’s support I would not have learned how important the value of personal determination is. The final family member I surveyed and later interviewed is not only my sister, but also my teammate, Rachel Sensmeier. I choose to interview her for her perspective as my teammate. Unlike my parents, she was with me during practice, long bus rides, and team gatherings. She closely watched as I matured and developed through the game of golf.

I sent the same email of eight questions to Jill, Jay, and Rachel Sensmeier, and surprisingly received similar answers for a majority of the questions. For question one I asked, “Which value do you think I have developed the most from my time on Cambridge golf course.” With that I constructed three multiple choice answers: A. Maturity, B. Determination, and C. Responsibility. Jay and Rachel Sensmeier voted for answer
Relate topic to audience: As we get older, we get less active and many people cannot play physical sports or don’t have that stamina that we have at our age to run around and do whatever. Learning a proper golf swing is the stepping stool in the golf world and the beginning of getting into a game that can teach you patience, manners, and relieve your stress.
Imagine the sun bursting through the trees for the first time of the new day, the smell of freshly cut grass still potent to your nose as you tee the ball up for a round of golf in the cool mist of a spring morning. "That is what brings you back every time, the smell of the air, the coolness of the whether and the beautiful surroundings that make every shot enjoyable." (Suess, PI) This is the game of golf in its finest and most exquisite time to many people and many people it has touched in its long history. Golf is a lifestyle and not just games to people that are avid in playing. The game of golf has a history that is rich in technological advances and personal accomplishments, which through time has shown to shape
Marsden sat down with his swing coach to set up his objectives for his golf career. He realized he had a lot of work to do to reach that goal of winning a Green Jacket. Marsden’s father Jeff, had bought him a membership at Mattaponi Springs, where he would spend countless hours on the range and around the greens. Dyson had a routine he would do every day; he would hit eight perfect shots with each club in his bag. The young man then would move on to the chipping surface, he hit fifty perfect shots that had to land within three feet of the pin. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would be on the range practicing, if he didn’t answer the phone and you needed him he was at the range working. He would put in dedication into his golf game twenty four seven.
Islington Golf Club has a major weakness, the club lacked a long-game practice facility, which other clubs in the area have. This problem is the most difficult for Islington Golf Club to fix, because of land constraints. This may drive potential members to another club because Islington does not have that feature

It just always seemed like something that I had to do. Ever since I was ten years old I’ve been playing, practicing, and talking about golf. I always have had a love for the game, but I never really thought about how stressful and painful it made my life. Even at ten I thought my future had already been planned for me. I was already thinking of life as a professional golfer. I was certain that I would go play golf for a big college, and instant fame would soon follow. It wasn’t until the last couple of years that life has changed for me.
A matter of opinion has separated a variety of sports enthusiasts apart, due to the ongoing debate of whether golf is a sport or simply a skill. Famed golfer Arnold Palmer declared, “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented. (ThinkQuest.com)” These words state what every athlete experiences and feels when he/she is turning a double play, making the game winning three point shot, or throwing a hail mary pass for a touchdown. Golfers are athletes too, they train for that big moment just like any other athlete, but
Fourteen clubs - four wedges, six irons, a rescue, a three wood, a driver, and a putter - this is golf. It is one of the most mentally challenging sports in the world. It can fool beginners who are deceived by its simplicity. Golf is often underestimated by those who have never attempted to play the sport. While it has often been known as a “rich man’s” sport, in recent years this perception has begun to change. There are a number of other generalizations made when talking about golf, yet these are most always from those who have never experienced, played, or followed the game. One should question how a critic with no knowledge of the activity could state whether or not golf should be considered a sport. Golf is a sport, regardless of what any critic has to say. Studies and experimentation, along with the experience itself, reveal all of the athletic aspects that make golf better than most sports.
My father was a proud Scotsman and avid golfer. I fondly remember rounds of golf with him. He would
Our town is notable for having several interesting golf courses. For those residents whose interests lie in other pursuits, those courses are a waste of large quantities of otherwise useful space that could be better used to construct another mall or store. For the golf enthusiasts among us, however, the preponderance of courses is a delightful benefit of living in this otherwise uninteresting locale, where the only saving grace is the plentiful supply of interesting people.
“Given the year we just experienced in golf, it would be phenomenal if we see anything in 2001 that will even remotely compare. We witnessed an incredible season by the game’s most dominant player-in this era or any other. We saw how fans and players alike could respect the game in an international competition. And, we have seen the game’s visibility skyrocket” (Strange 20).

Since the age of four, when I was barely old enough to swing a putter, I have loved the game of golf. My dad, passing his love of the game down to me, would take me out every Sunday to Woods Edge Golf Course in Edgewood; he taught me the ins and outs and the dos and don’ts of the sport. One of the earliest memories I have of these trips to Woods Edge is being a mere couple of inches from driving the cart into a pond while dad was teeing off; this would definitely be considered a don’t in the world of golf. I received my first set of clubs for Christmas when I was eight and a year later, a pass to Pin Oak. Boy was I thrilled. I began to golf by myself and learn my own lessons through my experiences on the course. But as I grew as a golfer on my own, my dad was still there tweaking my swing in the back yard and taking trips to Edgewood with me. My dad is a big reason why I have a passion for the game of golf.
