Essay On Personal Narrative: My Day Of Golfing

Improved Essays
One Saturday morning around 9 a.m. I woke up for the day and decided to go golfing with my best friend Dylan. The weather was perfect for a day of golfing. It was sunny, and it was about 80 degrees with a nice breeze. I’ve only been golfing a few times, but I am starting to get into it more. I am definitely not a professional golfer, but I love the sport. Dylan pulled in the driveway around 9:30, you could hear the horn from inside the house. I grabbed my stuff and walked to his car. We were blasting music in the car just goofing off like friends do. It took about twenty minutes to get to the golf course. Dylan was driving his new car that he just got about a week ago. It was a grey 2014 Dodge Dart. He still wasn’t very good at driving a clutch yet, so it made for an interesting ride to the golf course. I think I had whiplash from him jerking the car around every time he changed gears.
I was still excited and had a good feeling that I was going to golf well today. I just bought new Nike golf clubs and couldn’t wait to use them. They were pretty expensive so they better help me golf better! Once we grabbed all our equipment from the car we walked in and paid. After we walked outside we had

He hit the gas pretty hard and then locked up the brakes on the damp ground. The cart started to slide sideways down the hill. My heart was racing and I was hanging on trying not to fall out. The cart was only on two wheels now and almost flipped over. I was seriously scared for my life. I thought we were going to flip the cart over on top of us. Luckily, Dylan got the cart under control, but I am not sure how he did that since he was laughing the whole time. People were looking at us and wondering if we were ok. I was surprised we didn’t get kicked out and asked not to ever return back to this golf course. I am sure that was the first time any of these golfers ever saw something like that

    The game of golf is almost more mental than it is physical. Having the ability to control one’s thoughts and emotions can turn good players into great ones. Many players learn how to play the game physically, but cannot ever make a leap towards better golf due to their actions and thoughts on the course. When playing bad, all it may take is a change in mindset or attitude to get one back on track. Sometimes it’s a little change in swing thought that will turn one’s round around.…

    “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 experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year.

Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    Before I joined the golf team, I was quiet and reserved; however, golf has helped shape me into a better leader and teammate because it has improved my communication with others. As I have met a countless number of people of all different personalities, I feel more confident in how I handle working with other people. On the course, I have learned how to be both a competitor as well as a supportive playing partner. Interacting with a wide range of people has taught me to adapt to different situations because some people are very easy to talk to where others are not so much. When you are with someone for a good five to six hours, you have to learn how to interact with people, which is hard for introverts like me.…
