Personal Narrative: Dave Stockton's Putt To Win

I had to be a main part in the biggest stage of the game was very challenging, and hard to overcome, especially caddying for one of the greatest caddy of all time. I was shocked, I usually do not face much stress in my life, but this moment gave me a rush of fear that cannot be explained. I am not a nervous person, I could handle most pressure given to me. On the other hand when I was but in a situation working with pro golfers i felt edgy to the subject.

On January 22, 2017 at Lower Macungie Community Center gym two Lower Macungie Youth Association (LMYA) were playing against each other. They were playing basketball. No team was getting demolished.

The typical Australian: lazy, beer guzzling, faded blue singlets, thongs, slang words. This is the dominant reading formed by the media, commonly in advertisements and novels. The image constructed by such media is one of an unfit ‘couch potato’ who sits around all day drinking and watching television. This stereotype is not only downgrading, but constructs Australian males as underachievers in society. Some Australians may be like this, as for many the pursuit of leisure is a serious business. Indeed texts such as Chris Franklin’s – Bloke (2000) and The Wind and the Monkey (1999) support this theory of the common Australian man. However texts such as Crocodile Dundee (1986) and The Castle (1999)

Four years ago I would have never expected to be a golf team captain. Due to my variety of hobbies and interests, I like to consider myself a jack of all trades so it was hard to decide on what sports to play in high school. Upon asking my father if he had any recommendations, he told me that if I could learn the fundamentals of golf I would have a tool that could benefit me for a lifetime. I wrote down golf on the dotted registration line and, well, forgot about it.

My team won 3 out of 4 hockey games in my hockey tournament. It was the championship game for a banner and a medal. We were playing the Ice Dogs who we had originally beaten 3-1. Over the summer we did so much dry land on the track and my dad said it will all pay off today. I stepped on the ice for warm ups and the ice felt smooth under my skates. I was prepared for a hard hockey game.

Imagine losing a million dollars because you couldn't make a three putt in a golf tournament even though you've spent your whole life golfing. Professional golfer, Greg Norman has won 91 golf tournaments, but he has lost many which has changed his entire career. Greg Norman has had many ups and downs in his life that have led him to great accomplishments.

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

Ever since I was old enough to walk, I loved to play baseball. Baseball was the first true love of my life. I had always imagined myself playing in the big leagues along with Derek Jeter and all of the other big named players. I had the same fantasy along with every other ten year old boy that loved to play the sport of baseball. The only problem with my fantasy was a deal that I made to myself. I told myself," Dalton, if you don't hit an over-the-fence homerun, then you will not play in the big leagues."

“Tweet Tweet,” screamed the birds as the sun smacked Tyler and me in the face with its Florida heat hotter than jalapenos.

Australia is filled with many different aspects in which makes it the country it is today. I believe it is important to study texts that explore aspects of Australia by studying texts such as ‘The Club’, by David Williamson, a play written in 1977 about an Australian football club and movies such as “The Castle”, directed by Rob Stitch in 1997, about the daily life of an Australian family when their happiness is threatened when developers attempt to buy their house to expand the neighboring airport. Both these texts show us what Australian life was like in the past. By us looking at themes such as language, tradition and the mateship shown we are able to explore different aspects of Australia that make it what it is today.

They say the eye of the tiger is the thrill of the fight. It helps you rise up to the challenge of your rivals. If that's true, one former tiger lost that thrill and is now a measly cat. Of course, we're talking about disgruntled golfer Tiger Woods. Last year, Woods admitted he might never grace the golf course again.

Tiger Woods was born on December 30, 1975 in Cypress California. He was an only child but did have 2 half-brothers Earl Jr. ,born 1955 and Kevin ,born 1957 and a half-sister, Royce who was born in 1958. Tiger was first shown the wonders of golf before turning two years old by his father Earl. After that he was something of a child prodigy. When he turned three, he shot a 48 over nine holes over Cypress Navy course, at age five he made himself known by being featured in Golf Digest and on That's Incredible. Before he was seven years old , Tiger Woods won the under the age of ten section of the putt, pitch, and drive competition, held at the Navy Golf Course in Cypress, California.

This summer I competed at the 2016 PDGA Amateur and Junior Disc Golf World Championships. From planning, to competing the whole experience is one that I will remember fondly for the rest of my life.

An Australian Short Story, written by Ryan O’Neill, is such an in-depth piece of literature. The story’s artistic format brings a new meaning to Australian literature, and the typical stereotype. Ryan O’Neill took a chance on this story, because he isn’t an Australian. But after living in Australia for many years, he took the time to really notice things. And with that, he chose to write what he saw and

Australia is a country of a very unique caliber. Beginning this book, I was not aware of much about Australia. The things that is mostly displayed about the country is that they have kangaroos and very large deserts. Bryson does a great job of describing the culture and events that can be enjoyed. He uses his own experiences to inform the reader of the adventure and excitement that resides in the country. Each trip that the author takes teaches about a new realm of Australia life.
