So then we were ready to go to the game we drove to dodger stadium. We were still driving to dodger stadium we finally got there it took us like an hour to get there. We gave the…

The day of December 7, 2015, just 4 days after the Montgomery Bell Academy football team lost a close overtime game to a local rival, Brentwood Academy, in the state championship, the MBA bowling team had an opportunity to clinch a state tournament bowling appearance for the first time since 2011. Four starting seniors, a sophomore, and I led the team to a twelve and three record. While on the way to that impressive mark, the team defeated the two time reigning TSSAA state championship team,…

Shawnee Country Club, located on the east side of town, is a quiet and beautiful place. The “Country Club” is a place where I spend most of my time. The smell of fresh cut grass, and the sounds of purely struck golf shots are what makes this place what it is. Over the course of my daily trips to the Country Club, I realized that this place holds a lot of good and bad times for the golfers. Not only are there sounds of purely struck golf shots, but also groans of frustration coming from the…

years old, my dad put a club in my hand and a ball at my feet, since then, I have loved and despised the game of golf. From the moment I was introduced to the game, I was hooked and while many view it simply as ‘a game’, I have been fortunate enough to take much more away from the course. The game has seen me at my best and seen me at my worst. It has instilled in me many of the values and virtues that I carry out in my daily life. The game of golf…

The aroma of freshly cut grass fills my nose as I step up to the tee. I swing my club back slowly, blocking out the millions of thoughts running through my mind. Swiftly, I swing down at the ball propelling it forward, straight towards the fairway. Clubs in tow, I head towards my ball as I begin my round of golf. Ever since my dad introduced me to the sport, I have been an avid golfer. It has instilled in me many key values that have molded me into the person that I am today. At a young…

on how to drive a rubber golf ball 60 to 100m, which I have achieved. I have applied knowledge from biomechanics, anatomy and sport psychology. A big part of helping me to achieve this unit was the the goal setting and visualisation aspect of sport physiology. This helped me from the start to see what I wanted to achieve as I strived to reach my goal. In first day of practising and baseline testing, I had no apparent knowledge of how to successfully hit a golf ball and did not have any of the…

Thwack! The club strikes the ball and it goes soaring through the air. It lands with precision on the green for an easy tap in birdie. This was easy for me cause I am a skilled athlete in my sport, Golf. Most people say that golf is more of a game than a sport. Golf is just as much of a sport because, it requires physical abilities, strong mental abilities, and it takes practice and skill just like any other sport. First of all, golf is sport because it requires physical abilities. Golf my not…
