My Father In Golf Research Paper

Improved Essays
One of my favorite memories is when I surprised my dad in golf. We were either in North Carolina or South Carolina, I can’t remember which. This happened about a year or two ago. We drove far from our condo that was on the beach to another place that was pretty far away. We golfed in a neighborhood, which I didn’t find very safe but nothing bad happened. I have always, and still do, thought my dad was quite good at golf. Everything I know about golf, he taught me. Anyway, we were on a hole where there was water between the green and where you start, but there was a place beside the water where you can hit the ball from so that the water isn’t in your way.

Although you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy the natural beauty of their manicured greens or the luxuries of the sprawling clubhouse, the golf gurus of the Highland Creek Golf Club are always there to help you improve your game.

    In the trove of memories that I have from the visits to Florida, one in particular stands out. One day when we visited in June we went to Blue Springs park. It had crystal clear water so you were able to see 40ft to the bottom. After swimming in spring water for a while we rented canoes and went down the river it was connected to. We had enough fun after a couple hours and we were about to finish the day off by jumping off a 5ft ledge into the 40ft deep water.…

    “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.

The bentgrass took a deep, rich shade of green from the recent douses of rain.…
