Personal Narrative: Why Golf Is International

These magazines and movies are only a small portion of how golf has helped changed society.  Golf provided a helping hand in bringing the American nation closer together as equals.  Blacks and Whites of all ages and gender have been given the chance to play along side each other in a safe environment.  Sports sometimes provide a place for equality.  Golf is a great example of this equality.  Stossel says "golf is beginning to look more like America: diverse, multicultural, and largely middle class" (2).  But, will Americans take advantage of the

This new game that people were beginning to play in Scotland, seemed to take a hold of the people. At the time, the sport was open to all people- no fees to pay, no starting times- just a short game of golf that would always be followed by a trip to the local mead hall. Most golf played was on bets and times have not changed on that fact. Men would go and bet that they could beat the man next to them on the links, which at the time were only sandy, hilly pastures. It was because this game was at such a simple stage in its history; it required skill and finesse that almost all people could do. So, to meet the demand of the people, many courses were built along high bluffs on the eastern coastline in Scotland. It is here that nature developed dunes, ridges, gullies and hollows that would challenge the best of golfers.

I’m all nerves as I anxiously wait for my turn to take the first tee at the most consequential day of golf of my life. I look to my side and see my playing partners. All of them having already had big success in the game. I am very aware that each of the three guys have been in more situations like this than me and this causes stress and tension to engulf me.

Stepping out on the course for the first time was intimidating, I had never been to a golf course before. There were people there that I had never met before, and this experience was completely new to me. I was put into a group with a few other girls and we set off to golf. Seeing the other girls tee off first was less pressure for myself, but I was still nervous to tee off for the first time. Teeing off the the first time, I felt a rush power as I swung the club. Even though it was a horrible shot my teammates encouraged me and told me that I would do better next time.

“Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad”, a

I step up to the tee box with my driver. Tee and lucky golf ball in hand, I gaze out onto the fairway and take a deep breath. I set up my ball on the tee not too high but just right and look at my target one more time. I take my club back and swing as hard as I can, “BAM!” I see the ball hurtle towards the hole at a lightning speed and 265 yards down the middle of the fairway it comes to a halt. This was one of my best shots, but I knew there were more things to come, good and awful. I was excited to develop more and more skills and to be able to apply for a scholarship. My very first golf tournament was coming up and hopefully more to come.

As I stood on the 16th tee at The Farm, I thought about all of my surroundings. Most days, I take the beauty around the golf course for granted. On this day, I took a moment to reflect on all the beauty and the effect it has on all of my different senses. I was able to see, hear and feel many different things throughout the golf course.

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

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

I learned golf when I was 10 years old. I took personal lesson when I was in Middle school at Golftec.

This email is in relation to a matter I recently discussed with Mr. Bueno. I have been presenting serious difficulties with the golf course's users across the canal from my property. This golf course I believe belongs to Lakefield West or The Wanderers Club. I have had to fix the tiles on my roof multiple times for years (see below my email in 2011 when nothing was done), the screen in my pool area has been fixed multiple times as well, besides it, plenty of golf balls in the back and front yards, which makes us almost impossible to be outside without fear of being hit by one of those. I'm requesting assistance from my homeowner's association to prevent the continuous destruction of my property making sure that I moved to a private aeronautical

Golf in Australia has been a prevalent sporting achievement for many years. The first documented mention of golf was in Scotland 1457 but only started in Australia in the early 1800’s. Ever since this milestone many Australians such as Adam Scott, Jason Day and Karrie Webb have been able to win many golfing completions worldwide. Recently a physical education class has chosen golf over dance and orienteering due to each and everyone’s attitude, behaviour, towards golf. “Access and opportunity is not the same for everyone, if a boy from Uluru wanted to go sailing he wouldn’t have the access to opportunity of facilities to compete.” stated by Mr Bahr 2015. A thoroughly explicit and scrutinized analytic exposition on access,

Thanks for your response. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision and I’m not trying to tell you who you can hire or fire; I have no right to make that statement. I’m only saying that if more people would have taken the time to let you, and your management team, know how the overwhelming majority of us feel about Tara, maybe your decision would have been different. Unfortunately, I/we didn’t do that. People seem to have a propensity to write when there’s something bad but don’t have the same inclination when it’s good.

Recently Golf was added to the Summer Olympic Games. People all over the globe are debating that Golf isn't a sport. But guess what? Golf is a sport.

The PGA is working towards to help with youth and get their attention. They are going through with this through 2019 so they will have enough time and an impact on a kid’s life. The PGA is trying to get their point across to show kids the sport of golf and get them to be a part of it. They teamed up with turner sports
