Narrative Essay About Golf

Improved Essays
A million thoughts race through my mind in less than a second. Is the angle of approach correct? Am I coming down with a proper arc? Are my feet far enough away, or too close? All these, and more, in the milliseconds before impact, and then it’s gone. Another shot, right down the fairway. Golf has been an integral part of my life, and I dare say a passion, since I was six years old. At that age, I walked up to my Dad one day, and said, “Can we golf?” That simple question has since changed my life for the better.

    On Veterans Day 2014, I asked my dad if we could play a round of golf. Since I was a baseball fanatic at the timen, my dad was surprised by my question, but nevertheless he set up a round of golf for us. When I hit a ball off the first tee, I knew I had found a new, strong passion. Although my swing was horrible, I was determined to practice golf everyday to become better. I told my mom about my exhilarating experience on the golf course later that night, and I slowly began to realize that I loved golf more than baseball for its independent aspects, unique serenity, exquisite views, and diverse challenges.…

Excitement, adrenaline, rushed through me every time I threw the ball to home plate, and knowing that I was one pitch close to keeping the opposing team hitless. While playing some may think you feel the pressure of the game; however in my experience I felt stress free, which left my mind to only think about what pitch to throw next.…
