Personal Narrative: Playing Golf And Driving Golf Carts

When I first came to Lake Highland in seventh grade my parents wanted me to be on a team to get to know people and the only sport I knew was golf. I came to the tryouts with no experience of tournaments, hammy down clubs from my sister, and not appropriate golf attire. I tried very hard for the team, but I did I didn't have the skills to make it on. It was very devastating for me because I have never been turned down before, but I knew that I had to change. After this failure I decided that I should try harder in golf. I never did take the sport seriously and barely practiced, but after being turned down I decided to step up my game. I started to practice harder and more often by my own choice. I also started to play in tournaments, which I

It just always seemed like something that I had to do. Ever since I was ten years old I’ve been playing, practicing, and talking about golf. I always have had a love for the game, but I never really thought about how stressful and painful it made my life. Even at ten I thought my future had already been planned for me. I was already thinking of life as a professional golfer. I was certain that I would go play golf for a big college, and instant fame would soon follow. It wasn’t until the last couple of years that life has changed for me.

It was a Monday morning on June 13, 2016 and I was not ready for what was to come of today. I was practicing for my tournaments all summer long and this day was the day for me to show that my work has paid off. Even though It was a qualifier into a high skilled tournament I need my game this summer to be one of my best years so I can send my resumes to coaches around the country. So now the round Is about to start and I was nervous. Playing against kids much older and much stronger than you is intimidating, but i knew that was not supposed to change what was going to happen today. This golf course is a tricky one with lots of trees and hills but that should change my mindset of trying to win this qualifier. And we were off, I striped my drive

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

I did a normal day's work, intel Curley called me aside to talk to me. I knew how this conversation was going to go. One of two things was about to happen. One Curley chides me on killing Lennie and complains that he should of been the one to kill him or two he tells me I did the right thing by making sure he was dead. I thought about this as Curley looked at me. He said nothing. He didn't seem angry and we sat in silence until he finally said “you know what you did right?” I nodded as he continued to talk. “You went out of your way to kill your best friend now that takes guts” He seemed proud of me but I only felt disgust as he continued. “I'm glad you did it that the brain dead shell of a man had been getting on my nerves ever since he crushed my hand.” I was slightly angry at that last comment but I said nothing and continued listening. “But as much as I would love to say you did a good thing you still killed a man and that makes you a murderer. The other guys do not feel comfortable with you around anymore. I'm sorry but you're fired”. As soon as he finished talking I looked at Curley in disbelief. I was just fired. I told Curley that I understood and that I would leave the property immediately. Curley seemed genuinely disappointed that I had to leave. I knew he never really liked me but I knew he didn't hate me. So I left and went to the bunkhouse and gathered my things and I did like I said I would. All the guys just stood there

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.”

On Wednesday September 14, 2016 I went to your store to order a Hero sandwich; turkey with Muenster cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise, and tomato. It is a night special so the order is $2 off the regular price after 9 pm. I was in line and the man who was taking orders didn’t really seem up to his job sarcastically asking me “what do I want?” I placed my order. When my order came I saw the turkey still had some blood on it, and the cheese had hair on it. This was not alright with me. He observed me watching him and added sauce to the sandwich to cover up the blood and hair. I did not order or want the sauce. When he handed the bag to me he was very rude. I did not take the order or ask for my money back. I was very upset because I felt like he didn’t

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.

I was pretty excited to go considering that I had been working all day so I said,” Yes I’m totally down to go investigate that sketchy place.”Cole picks me up from my house at approximately 7:30 right before it begins to be dark. As we keep driving it gets darker and darker. My friend Cole being a beginner at driving decides to take a random road that I specifically told him not to.Five minutes of driving on this sketchy road I exclaim,” Hey we should probably

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!

I believe my involvement in rugby, golf, flute and charity have contributed hugely to both my emotional and my development of skills. Throughout my time playing rugby I developed a huge range of skills. Through my time playing in the forwards and being involved in the scrummage saying to my teammates I'm here with you I'm working is just applicable to a team project I will have to do. Adaptation of a hardworking ethos where resilience and giving my all was paramount. Through my golf playing of golf I have developed a positive, optimistic and enthusiastic I have learnt to be patient and calm in my decision-making. Another key skill learnt from golf is adaptability. Throughout my time golfing I was placed in tricky situations, I learnt how to

When I came in on Sunday to work on some personal projects I saw mark working as well. I walked over to him to say "hello" and noticed he was using my impact and wrenches as well is my hammer and a letter stamp set I brought from home. When I asked him where he got the tools he said “Oh well your box had been left unlocked and I needed to borrow a few things.” I explained that I didn't appreciate that he had opened my Toolbox and helped himself to my tools. I was never asked before and had given no prior consent. He laughed and stated that

I work at the restaurant. I am the server. My co-workers are about my age, and we have a good friendship. We help each other and have good term work. We receive salary mostly from the tips. We will get the tips from the table we serve, and this is how we make money. One day, I find out something bad about one of my coworker. That day, I work with two others person. For easier explanation and understanding, I will call them as server A, and server B. The table is server A’s table. When server A is busy on the phone call order, server B helps server A cleans the table. I clean the window near it and I see the server B takes the tips of server A. I was shocked and did not know what to do. We are friend. Server B just has unethical and illegal

The next morning right away Chandler went to our boss Jeff and started explaining what had happened that night. He took full responsibility and told my boss that he would try and pay for the damages somehow. But by being honest with him and not lying Jeff said that he did not have to pay any money for

It was a Wednesday, almost like any other day except the alarm went off a little earlier than normal. Well three hours earlier than normal, but the need to roll over and go back to bed was not there. Previously on Monday Clariant, the company I work for received a call from our largest customer Bemis, just down in Massachusetts. They were in a dire need for material on a hot new product that their customer was requesting immediately to meet a launch date. Jackie our main contact at Bemis and purchasing manager only asks for a favor when it is only hugely important, we trust her, and she understands the challenges Clariant faces to meet immediate demands. However tough it may be at times, our strong partnership was forged through addressing these hurdles and finding a way through. Coincidently, Jackie and I spoke briefly about my interest in meeting with her and writing about her company and this was the exact excuse to come down and make this happen. The production team at Clariant was able to manufacture the materials Bemis needed and put it into the back of the company truck, I was going to deliver the product personally and spend the day with their sales, design, and production groups. The chance to delight the customer by delivering product personally and spend the entire day getting to know them was a huge opportunity. The alarm was sounding and it was time to go.
