Golf Personal Narrative

it's a hot Texas Sun beat down upon my neck a fast ball whizzed past my bat and into the catcher's glove after you had another strikeout. I trudged back to the dugout thoughts of failure filled my mind of my confidence slowly vanishing. I wasn't accustomed to anything less than success before high school. I prospered in youth athletics while living in South Dakota. I had a phenomenal baseball coach to transform my robbed potential into success on the baseball diamond. Unfortunately, my father's Air Force career demanded that we move before my baseball season. Without me my team went on to win the city state championships advancing all the way to the Little League World. When I was younger my family moved to not affect my athletic performance the difficulties began I was torn from my tight-knit community in Northern Virginia and forced to adjust to life in West Texas prior to the start of my freshman year. I struggled to regain the close friends and relationships I left behind for the first time in my life.

Freshman golf ended miserably, but I wasn’t even close to giving up. In Arkansas golf, high school isn’t a big deal like in Football and Basketball. It’s the tournaments held by the Arkansas State golf Association that are most respected. So my golfing year wasn’t really over, it had actually just begun. So I began to practice more, and focus solely on golf. It seemed the harder I practiced, the worse I got. I was trying too hard, and playing badly in tournaments. It was extremely heartbreaking. This was the only think that I had complete confidence in and I couldn’t

We’re already so close-knit, and it’s so much fun to spend time with the girls. We’ve already had a few tournaments, and whether a round was good or bad, everyone supports each other and knows that what to work on for the next round. I feel so indebted to God because he put so many extraordinary girls on my team. We are currently preparing for Jamborees with other teams in our conference, and it’s exciting because I get to go to amazing golf courses with some of my best friends and have an amazing time playing golf. Overall, golf has had such a wonderful impact on my life. From the close relationships with the girls, to improving my own game, I’ve become so much closer to God through the whole experience. I’m so excited to see what God has in store for me and my team the rest of this season and Senior

All my life I have been very devoted to the sports of which I participate. Baseball and golf have been a huge part of my childhood and it has always been in that order. Baseball always took precedence over golf. Golf was just a hobby and when it came down to it, baseball was going to be more a part of me than golf. But recently my heart has shifted and the level of precedence in my mind has switched over to golf, and being very involved in the baseball team with my high school, it was time to make a very difficult decision with countless ramifications.

Next we were off to the University Golf Club! It was kind of pricey to go, but we still had tons of fun trying to golf! Georgia and I have never golfed before, but Anna was a pro at it so she did WAY better than us. Georgia hit her golf ball into the lake a few times, but other than that we had a great time! After a fun day of golfing, crazy sushi places, and the Regional Park, we decided to go someplace simple and quick for dinner. For dinner we ate at Five Guys, and we all got the little bacon cheeseburger, which has always been mine and Sydney's favorite. After dinner we decided to end our day there and get ready for our next big day!

Golf has been a sport that has been with me since I was five years old. Over the years, I’ve moved from place to place, meeting new people who helped advance my game in one way or another. Now, I am part of the Desert Vista Varsity Golf Team for the fourth and final year. That being said, there is no possible way I could have gained this position without the help of my coaches.

I chose this topic because lately I have experienced a great deal of dedication lately. My sophomore year I took it upon myself to become the next up and coming golfer in the school. My sophomore year there were two seniors who led the Golf Team: Ryan Sola and Spencer Haldeman. These guys had been showing me the ins and outs of High School Golf and what it takes to succeed at that level. In the Summer, Ryan tried to practice every single day. If Ryan had to work or was out of town he always found a way to get to the range or play a round of nine or 18 holes everyday. Spencer was a very good basketball player and even starts for the UNiversity of Northern Iowa right now. During High School he had many tournaments he had to travel too on the

It was the summer after my Sophomore year, and I am going to the golf course. I walk into the office of THE Jonathan Beaver and see someone else. I couldn’t quite tell what it was but, it looked like a raccoon… Instead though it was indeed Jonathan with a swollen black and blue nose, he managed to hit a golf ball straight up trying a trick and broke his nose. This man is many things in my life, he is the golf pro, who is also my boss, he's my swing coach, my to be faith mentor, and my friend. He has taught me many things in life and golf. I will always remember the lessons of Keep your knees bent, keep your head and shoulders straight, and swing easy all the way through.

The example that I will provide it is about how I communicate with my golf team. I play golf since I was nine years old, so I had to learn how to communicate with people around me. I’m from Venezuela and I moved to Texas two years ago because I want to play college golf. When I moved, there were two big problems that I went through. The first one was the language which of course here in Texas is English, and in Venezuela is Spanish. I had to learn a new language to communicate with others. Second, when I stared to play with a golf team, it was the first I participate in a golf team. Back in Venezuela, I used to always play alone, so I was never used to have a coach or teammates. It was a little thought because sometimes I had to learned how

I have always believed that all people should be treated the same regardless of who you are, what you look like, or where you're from. Quite recently, towards the beginning of my senior year golf season, we obtained some new players; as a leader of the team, I figured that the best way to get to know each other would be to organize a bonding event. During the activity, a racist comment was made towards another member of our team. The comment shocked us all; however nothing was said or done about it. While on my way home with my fellow team captain, we discussed the matter and felt that it needed to be addressed. The next day, we pulled aside the girl the comment was directed towards and explained that the situation was uncalled for and needed

Ever sense I was little, I have competed in a golf skills competition with 4 stages to advance through, with the last event being at the Masters in Augusta Georgia. The tournament was called the Drive Chip and Putt. I was on many golf teams such as the PGA Jr League All Star Team, and I did many local IGA tournaments, but the event that I always looked forward to the most was the Drive Chip and Putt.

I’m from the boing of the trampoline and from turning myself up and down, from spinning around to flipping at the same time, to the sound of a cracking backs to fixing them

Coming from playing baseball my whole life before that, I had to adjust to a golf swing, and could barely hit the ball. I knew I was going to have to put in work, and I was beyond ready for that. I went to the golf course everyday after school and would spend two to sometimes five hours working on my game, not leaving until I was satisfied. Each year I came back a little bit better and was showing vast improvement. I used my freshman and sophomore years trying to catch up to everybody and was ready for my junior year, the year I let all my hard work show.

This email is in relation to a matter I recently discussed with Mr. Bueno. I have been presenting serious difficulties with the golf course's users across the canal from my property. This golf course I believe belongs to Lakefield West or The Wanderers Club. I have had to fix the tiles on my roof multiple times for years (see below my email in 2011 when nothing was done), the screen in my pool area has been fixed multiple times as well, besides it, plenty of golf balls in the back and front yards, which makes us almost impossible to be outside without fear of being hit by one of those. I'm requesting assistance from my homeowner's association to prevent the continuous destruction of my property making sure that I moved to a private aeronautical

This being my senior year and my last golf season I’ve had my goals set on winning a state championship. The past two years I have made it to state and my first year I wanted to win but it was more of a learning experience. Last year I was definitely attempting to win and I put way too much pressure on myself and I played absolutely terrible. After the major letdown of last year I wanted to work harder than I’ve ever worked to get back to state and win it. With that mindset I went into the summer knowing the work I had to put in to get where I wanted to be. I didn’t have the summer success I was hoping for and I actually became so frustrated that I thought about quitting because I was tired of putting so much work into something and not seeing any
