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 …show more content…
Fortunately I was able to get through the winter and get over acting like a sissy and when the start of golf season came around I wasn’t playing great but I was playing good enough that I knew I could practice hard and make it back to state. As golf season progressed I saw that the hard work I was putting in was paying off. Before state I had already won four times in the season and I was very hopeful and even confident I was going to go win state. When we made the trip down there I was super excited and just couldn’t wait to get started. During the first round I was playing really well through 14 holes and then from there until the end of the tournament it was terrible. I ended up getting 8th place and was very disappointed to end my high school career that way. After all the hard work I put in I was very disappointed in my efforts. I got over it though because instead of being sad I decided to work hard and become better than I’ve ever been. Now I’m trying to get ready for college golf next

The one thing I buy regardless of cost is to visit the Masters golf tournament at Augusta, Georgia. The first reason is I enjoy the history. I hear about legends like Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player. I listen to Jack Nicolas’s best round. The second reason is the beautiful scenery. I like seeing the beautiful trees and flowers overlooking the golf course. I like seeing the gorgeous greens. Next, I would want to see the opening tee shot. It’s a tradition for many years. The starters are very famous and they won the Masters many times. Another reason is to see Tiger Woods. I enjoy seeing him because he’s very famous. He has won this tournament five times. His first Masters win was in 1997. Additionally, the tournament is in April. April is when
It was an unseasonably cool day. It wasn’t the typical hot, sticky August. It was so cool outside my friend had to wear a sweatshirt. The sun was getting lower in the sky caramelizing the sky into a fluorescent pink color. This was our last full day of summer and we wanted to spend it doing something new and exciting. We wanted to play disc golf and I observed my friends and I playing it.
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.
It was a peaceful, sunny day and perfect for golfing. The lake shimmered with sunlight as my dad, Ellie and I scooted up the hill in our golf cart, ready to go putt out balls in the hole. “Hey Kate,” my dad said, “Go see if you can find your ball, I will come and help you after I putt my ball in.”
Ever since I was young I was a part of a discourse community that I couldn't relate to. It was the golfing community. I was constantly asked if I was going to play or if I had caught some match or tournament in the past week, I had not. It was not until my freshman year of high school that I began to accept this community and become a part of the conversations I had always ignored. Golf turned out to be quite the adventure.
In the past, before I started competitive golf I had a small group of friends. Being introduced to competitive golf allowed me to develop more friendships that I would not have had if I did not compete. Because I started high school golf I’ve developed many relationships that will last past high school many with a lot of my teammates, my future teammates and also with the girls I have been able to play with in my past tournaments. As a result to starting competitive golf, it introduced me to many different people that I would have never met if I did not compete. Some of the people we connected through social media and still keep up with each other today.
During my third year on the Varsity team my coach decided to pull me out of the competitive team because my skills were not up to par. Devastated by the fact that I had competed every year since I started and not that year, I vowed that I was going to prove her wrong, show her the mistake she made. I put in numerous hours into working on my skills, I would work until my knees, ankles, back and wrists couldn’t take it anymore. In just a matter of weeks I showed her up and I was back on the competitive team. Therefore, if I hadn’t pushed myself I wouldn’t have competed just like if I don’t push myself in life I’ll never get to where
The excitement I had for golf then still continues today! Golf has blessed me with numerous friendships and opportunities. I am so glad to have people supporting and encouraging me to continue my collegiate golf experience! The spring season here at Scholastica has started and I am excited to get outdoors soon!
Presumably, there's always some sort of thinking that comes to my mind for doing something for the new. Anxiety flows into my veins and out pops the questions of if I was going to be alright. I thought I wasn’t.
Last year, was when I transferred from another school and I thought I would have a rough time fitting in. So I decided to join the golf team and ended up making the varsity team. Golf is an activity that makes me feel like I belong to a group where we do something we all love to do. When I’m on the course and begin to swing the club, gives me a good feeling and a place to relieve stress. Also, I have made a lot of friends. You feel like family. All of the girls on the team got along so well and I knew that coming to Burlington Central was a decision I wouldn't regret. Then for my sophomore year I applied for Peer jury it’s one of the most entertaining activities to do within the school. I learn a lot of things to become a better me and try
It only took me until my sophomore year of High School to figure what hard work and determination really meant, but man did I wish that I had learned it years before. All throughout High School I was a multisport athlete, I played everything you could think of, Football, Basketball, Baseball, Golf, Tennis, Volleyball. I excelled at each and every sport, and I even earned many achievements and awards for each sport. With all that being said my Freshman year did not go so well. I barely showed at practice, and even when I did I did not care to be there and just slacked off like it was a free time never taking it serious. Fastforward to the end of that summer going into my Sophomore year, everything was about to change.
From a young age, I have always been involved with golf. My father is an avid golf player and would always take me out to the course with him. My seventh grade year was when I took golf more seriously and competed with the high school golf team. Competing with people who had more experience than I did gave me a motive to start practicing more and striving for better. During my eighth grade year, I had been able to place first in a few matches, beating players I had competed against the year before. As I entered high school, I realized that I could now qualify to go to European championships and compete with other golfers from around Europe. The championship lasted two days and the weather was always cold and raining. Golfers traveled from
Human origins, evolution, and diffusion are important for understanding the history of Africa. African historians take pride in the fact that Africa is most certainly the birthplace of humanity. There is evidence showing that humanity began in Africa by remains left behind by human groups and societies. They have retrieved fossils of living organisms, and even written records, like cave drawings. Dating back millions of years ago Africa provides the best time line of human development because other parts of the world do not have evidence dating back as far as in Africa. Where did humanity and human history begin? There are theories supporting both that, humans evolved from various parts of the world, and that humans rose in Africa then migrated to other parts of the world and continued to develop. The theory that has the most support is that humanity rose in Africa then moved to other regions of the world. Africa is indeed the home of humanity but because Africa is where humanity began they were not able to be at the top of the evolutionary ladder because their global location did not allow them to develop faster. Human history in general is difficult to understand but we can look at the past to learn more about where we came from and how our societies have developed.
