Descriptive Essay: The Unstressed Golf Home

Improved Essays
Since my blog title is "The Unstressed," I'd like to suggest one of my favorite places to get, well, unstressed. If you are ever in the United States and happen to travel to Chicago, Illinois, don't forget to check out one of the best golf courses in Chicago--at the Chevy Chase Country Club.

This is a true favorite of mine. Not only is the golf course 100 percent pro in every aspect, the green is found in the middle of some of the most picturesque scenery you'll ever find in a golf course setting.

The course on the Northshore of the estate grounds has 18 beautiful holes of golf to enjoy along with all of the amenities. The golf holes are challenging, but not so much that you can't relax. After all, that's the purpose of my "Unstressed"

While it's not a full scale restaurant, it does have enough delicious food to choose from and is the perfect way to relax with friends and family alike after playing a few holes of golf.

I especially like the architecture on the course--English country Tudor. It's beautiful and lends in well with the theme of a day in the country out of a busy fast-paced lifestyle that you find in Chicago.

Being this is a world-class golf course, in a country club environment, you'll especially appreciate the various events that you can plan if you make a return trip. Weddings, birthdays, graduation parties and you can always count having the golf course opened during holidays throughout the year.

The attention and service you'll find here is among the best found anywhere. Their professional staff at both the golf course and country club will help make that outing of yours an event to remember.

So, remember to check them out at Chevy Chase to you'll really enjoy your trip to Chicago. And if you don't play golf, not to worry. You can always take in the sights by visiting their web site, or better yet, visit them onsite when you're next in

One of the more rare moves you can execute on the golf course is the “flop shot,” a short-range maneuver to be used when there’s not much distance between you and hole.

    Before starting my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to attend the BB&T Atlanta Open. Watching the players up close and meeting them sent a wave of thrill throughout my body, and I felt an adrenaline rush during each point. Since I made lots of significant memories and enjoyed each moment, I was able to attend the same tournament the year before I started college. While each experience had a similar feel, there were some contrasting qualities, such as who participated in the tournament and where my family and I selected to eat. Since I had attended the BB&T Atlanta the year before, making a list of what to pack was much easier.…

    “Yes Sir!” the announcer proclaimed as “Jack Nicklaus [threatened] to make the 46th year of his life the most memorable to date - a year when this once young, strong, heroic golfer [made] middle age a time of even bigger heroics.” (The New York Times, May 24, 1986) Jack Nicklaus had just sunk a putt in the 1986 masters for eagle on the fifteenth hole, positioning only two back of the lead. It would be one of the greatest wins in golf’s history if he could pull it out, but there were only three holes left.…

    The evidence is probably sufficient to conclude the pool house is a dwelling because its use and structure support the theory that it is an extension of the living quarters. The State will likely be able to prove the Hernandezes’ pool house constitutes a dwelling because the facts support that its construction resembles that of the main dwelling and that it is frequently used for similar purposes as the living quarters, such as eating, sitting, watching television, and hosting friends. As defined in ILCS §5/19-3, “a person commits residential burglary when he knowingly enters or remains within the dwelling place of another, or any part thereof, with the intent to commit a felony.” For the purpose of this statute, dwelling is defined as “a house, apartment, mobile home, trailer, or other living quarters” in which a person “actually resides.”…

    The course looked inviting and manicured, taunting players to challenge it. From the numerous balls in the water and into neighboring backyards, I would say that it has a pretty good win percentage. I walked to the practice green in order to roll a few practice putts, make a few short chip shots, go through a quick stretching routine, and take a multitude of practice swings. Just like any other round, the thought of shooting par, playing to the level that the course was designed for, had crossed my mind. I have played the course probably over a hundred times.…
