Personal Narrative-A Golfer's Play Disc Golf

This all seems a bit too much to take in but if you go out to the driving rance here and at kennedy golf course or blue rock (where I can you guys free buckets) and follow my steps and practice you should get it in no time. Golfing takes practice and lots of dedication, and it takes golfers years to hit balls consistently. With a correct grip, proper stance and backswing and downswing, practicing to hit a golf balls should be a bit more clearer. Practice and more practice will allow you to become a better golfer and following these steps will only help as far as you choose to get into golf. It may be frustrating at first but once you

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

“Top fifteen go to state, start out strong and pace yourself with the other girls”, my cross-country coach told me.

There are many teams that I’ve loved being a part of over the last three years of high school. The first is the golf team. I was blessed to be on the Junior Varsity team during my freshman and sophomore years, and this year I’m now on Varsity. The first two years were incredible. I was with Coach Al VanderHart, and we had such incredible seasons, especially sophomore year. I was blessed to be a team captain with Natalie Mason, and I grew so close to the girls on my team. We had so many traditions, including dressing up on match days, bringing food to the Town Square at Break, devotions before every practice and match, and much more. Another reason my team and I became so close was through the tragic loss of Coach Al’s son. We all surprised Coach by going to the funeral as a team. It was one of the moments in my life where I could feel God the most. Our team gave a big group hug, and we all started crying together, including the coach. It felt so good to lean on each other as a team for support, and it showed me just how powerful God is through the people

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!

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.”

It’s like Simon Says, It’s like Skully, It’s like Hand Ball, It’s like Jump rope

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

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.

He takes a second to recompose himself. After observing his ball, he realized that he had only two shots that he could hit. He could go for the green, through a tiny gap in between the trees, or he could just chip out into the fairway. There was one catch though. This was a team tournament. His coach had just told him that all he needed to do was make bogey, and the team would win. If he chipped out, that would be an easy task. On the contrary, a par would win him the tournament, and the only way to do this was to go through the tiny gap in the trees. Winning this tournament would get him a huge trophy, and it would attract college coaches. Unfortunately, doing this could result in a double bogey, and his team would lose the whole tournament. After thinking for a minute he remembered a quote from Bruce Coslet. “Everyone is needed, but no one is

This tournament is essentially “The Olympics” for junior golf. I was privileged to be selected for this team and enjoyed every minute of the trip. As a team we were sponsored by Nike in which we received all of our clothing and equipment from them. Each Nike shirt we received as being part of this team, had the United States flag on them. As a kid, I have always dreamt of playing the sport I love for my country. This was that dream, come true. It was an honor for me to wear the American flag on my chest every single day of the Toyota Junior World

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

I was first introduced to golf at 5 years old, at my grandparents’ house in the countryside. Being a kid didn’t make me like golf, mostly because I was stressed of repetitively seeing my grandma perfectly hitting all the shots. So I stopped playing golf until recently, and my dad signed up at a golf club, so I followed him and started to take lessons every day. The first lesson really represented a challenge, it came the time where I had to critically think and physically work in order to see if I like or dislike golf. As I was hitting the balls, one by one I felt the adrenaline coming into me, and every shot was getting better, I started liking it. A feeling of accomplishment was sliding in my veins. So the second lesson came, I was relieved

When I got in the garage we went to go look at the clubs, and put them in the car. I thought to myself what if I'm not good enough, good thing we were going to pine view. That course was a bit easier, but I was still nervous.

By the sixth hole, beauty appeared in all directions. The strategically placed black oak tree with its spiny branches, forced me to utilize the left side of the fairway. After the tee ball, Lake Katherine and her ocean blue waves overshadowed the left side, leaving the skinny esophagus of the fairway to lay up my second shot to. From there I pitched onto a perched green guarded by mounding and steep bunkers. Two hills on either side of the hole made my putt difficult to read, leaving me with a two putt for bogey on a par four longer than a runway.
