Golf Scholarships: To Fail Or Give Up

Lebron James once said, “Don’t be Afraid to fail this is the way to succeed.” This quote has many reasons he tells us with all his achievements he has failed as well it’s a normal person thing to do. Failing will give us knowledge on what he or she did wrong and that person will have a idea how to fix it and then you can start winning or succeeding in life. Maybe a person can’t find a way to succeed or win by failing maybe that’s just not something they’re good at but on themselves know what they’re good at and take matters into our own hands and fix that. Go pick something yourself loves or good at but if you’re okay with losing than that person is probably not a

Woody Holton’s Book Forced Founders: Indians, Slaves, and the Making of the American Revolution in Virginia endeavors to explain the dynamic of the relationship of the gentry class and Indians, debtors, and slaves and how they inadvertently affected one another’s decision making. Holton explains that the founding fathers were became increasingly paranoid that they were going to lose their influence within the colonies. The gentry’s influence stemmed from their ability to control the markets of two key commodities in colonial America; land and labor. Gentlemen were beginning to feel constrained by the people above them, the British government, who were constraining the gentry’s access to land by the signing of the Proclamation of 1763, which

Being successful at something is very easy if you follow someone else’s steps. However other people rather be themselves and make it on their own in their unique way. For example, most young musicians try to use the technique of other famous or more experienced musicians. They rather take the easy way instead of trying to become someone of themselves and change the technique into their own and maybe it could be better than the professionals. This happens in almost anything and everywhere not only to musicians but also to businessmen, actors, chefs, and athletes. I'm more related to athletes because i am an athlete. When i started to play sports i admired Ray Lewis, a professional football player, because his technique of tackling was so amazing

Apply that to any situation, and if rejecting help comes into mind, change that into a growth mindset. Will Smith exemplifies growth mindset especially in this quote of his: “Skill you have naturally, skill is only developed by hour and hours of beating on your craft.” In Fact, to master something most researchers give the idea that it takes about 10,000 hours to master something. Dedicating a large portion of the day to mastering that one skill takes an obscene amount of grit. Statistics show in an online study by PsychTests.com that 66 percent of people feel down on themselves when they recieve grit.

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.

Nobody is great the first time they do something. Some are good, but they are nothing compared to those who have practiced for years. People only become great at something by practicing and making mistakes, because with every mistake, you learn another way how not to do something. Then when you know all your mistakes, it’s easy to avoid them. I, like every other human-being in existence, has made my fair-share of failures. Most of them a result of me being lazy, and most of them didn’t bother me all that much. Until one, during my Eagle Scout project proposal.

The article “What it takes to be great,” by Geoffrey Colvin is very well written. Geoffrey Colvin makes valid points to support his opinion on what it takes to be great. I agree with Colvin’s idea that to be great at something it requires hard work. He expands on this by saying it takes “deliberate practice.” What Colvin meant by “deliberate practice,” was that is performing not just to get something done, but to be efficient and push oneself to accomplish more. An example could be playing basketball. If a person shoots one hundred foul shots a day does not mean he or she is deliberately practicing. The best way to get better would be to make sure you made

Author Ralph Waldo Emerson once sad " Unless you try something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow". On past experiences in my life I would agree with Emerson because one will never truly master something but people everyday have said people have mastered a sport or a instrument but everyday that person practices on that one thing all the time. Look at some great sports players like Messi or Stephen Curry both are spectacular at what they do. Messi was looked at by many people when he was young at not able to play due to how short and small he was. He started to practice on end to help him get to a point where a small soccer team picked him up and play for them at this point he wasn't done so he got even better and now competes with some of the other worlds best

Then I broke my right hand at the age of 16 which put my game at a standstill. The stress of not being able to play golf and colleges slowly dropping me off their radar caused me to get some of

“Dimitri, get off your Xbox and come do your chores before I ground you!” she yelled basically every day.

I have a family of five, two brothers and two parents. My dad works for Ricoh, a company that sells printers, copiers and software. He grew up in a Greek household in northern Chicago. My mom started her own interior design business a few years ago and works for herself. She grew up on a farm in eastern Indiana in the small town of Fort Wayne. My brother Nick is enrolled at University of Iowa and will graduate with a finance major in May. My other brother Drew is a sophomore at University of Illinois and plans to major in finance or accounting. Then there is Matt, the fidgety man who tinkers with electronics, enjoys woodworking and creates better alternatives for random things (toys, RC cars, furniture, etc.). I plan to pursue engineering at University of Illinois, University of Iowa or University of Iowa State because of my love for problem solving and working with others. Golf will forever be apart of my life and so will my passion for pond hockey (as long as my body lets me). I may be quiet and shy when I first meet you but I’m a totally new person around my friends and very outgoing. I’m determined to work hard and make a change in the world someday. I hope to create a lasting legacy on this Earth.

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.

Many people take up Golf thinking that it is easy, after all, how hard can it be to hit a little white ball with a stick? This thinking evaporates the first time they step onto a driving range and attempt to hit that little white ball. Golf is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. My experience with golf began in May of 2005 when friends came to stay with us; my wife informed me that I would have to take Roy, her friend’s husband Golfing. I had not been to a driving range (since I was in my teens) and I had never played golf on a course before. It was quite an experience; the weather was cold, rainy and nasty the three times we played while they where here, the game hooked me badly, even with the bad shots and the nasty weather.

However, if we choose to give up on ourselves in the middle of the journey just because we have low self-esteem and do not believe that others can support us, we can never be successful. Hence, only the person who endures throughout the journey and believes strongly in hope is qualified enough to be successful.
