Golf club

Last year, I went to my first disc golf tournament ever at White Clay State Park in Newark, Delaware. I frantically practiced for about three weeks before. I started to work on different throws that would help me on some of the harder holes. There are many different throwing techniques, but I throw fore hand, thumbers, and backhand. I learned a different stance and grip for each. At the tournament, I came upon a hole that I needed to use all three throwing styles in order to get a reasonable…

called 4-H. 4-H is is a global network of youth organizations whose mission is "engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development". I had a choice of joining two different clubs for 4-H. It was either the archery club, or the sewing club. I wasn’t thrilled with doing either at first to be honest. But, my dad…

qualities enhance or determine their success as a student-athlete. There are currently 262 Division 1 Women’s Collegiate Golf Teams (Golfweek, 2015). With each team having a minimum of six members, there are over 1500 women golfers competing at the highest level of collegiate golf. To date there has been a lack of studies done on women’s golf, in particular Division I Women’s golf at the championship level. There have been many studies on the mental side of sports. Studies on mental…

a living. I am a 19 year old woman who works as a full time preschool teacher during the week and on the weekends I work at a golf course. That doesn’t seem too unusual besides the fact that people see me and don’t picture me in that kind of work field. It is an ongoing joke…

We use mental models every day of our lives without even knowing it. In this paper I will attempt to expose how we use mental models in our everyday lives. First, I will present my own interpretation of mental models. After conveying my own definition, I will provide examples from my own life of mental models at work. Mental models are our own personal beliefs and ideas that we have in everyday life. These beliefs and ideas can be conscious or unconscious. A great way of looking at mental…

Illinois. This is how fischer learned to play the game. Is when Fischer and his sister bought a book about chess at a candy store.

Despite their helpfulness, helmet laws are controversial. Some bikers like Stan Daniels believe they’re being discriminated against. In his essay called “Helmet Laws Discriminate against Bikers”, he tries to prove that helmet laws are unnecessary, annoying, and should be repealed because we should be able to live freely. In this essay I’ll argue that his argument is unconvincing. His argument is summarized like so: 1. People should live as they please. 2. Helmet laws take away freedom from…

Three of the most challenging things on more difficult golf courses are water hazards, sand traps and narrow fairways. Each of these situations can present a unique test for any golfer’s skills, especially someone just learning to play the game. Golf jargon refers to each of these using some humorous terms, like in the drink, on the beach, or buried in the rough. But, if you test your golfing merits as a beginner-golfer on a course with too many of these challenges, you may found your afternoon…

I found found a bit of humor in Wodehouse's essay myself. I realized his essay was intended to be humorous through the subtle ways he describes the golf course he has created at his manor and through the different and creative obstacles that are described along the way. No golf course is complete without challenges and obstacles throughout, and even this homemade indoor course is no exception. Ranging from bathtub water hazards to moving hazards such as animals or maids, this course has its…

Life Changing Event A few years back during a nice warm summer day I was watching a PGA Golf Tournament with my dad and saw one player that came straight to my attention because he was on the big white leaderboard with his name at the top. His name was Jordan Spieth, he was a twenty year old young adult that just graduated college and winning his first major tour event. He lead me to start playing golf because he was a young person that was winning a big tournament, on the PGA tour. Spieth was…
