on and off the course, and with plenty of tears, I reached my childhood dream of making the varsity golf team as a freshman. Having commitment, playing not only for myself but for a team too, battling constantly along with hurt feelings from my self proclaimed golf expert of a father shaped me from a young girl into the responsible, trustworthy, dependable woman I am today. Sixth grade summer going into seventh, my pesky father managed to score me the opportunity of playing golf with the…

old friends. But, when it was time to golf they morphed into a different person; laser focused, controlled emotions and with a mysterious ability to block everything out. The three days changed my life as these professional golfers encourage me to realize a dream, I could become an excellent golfer, maybe a professional. This would require a commitment to practice of twelve to fourteen hours a day. Up at six in the morning so I headed to the golf course at 7 a.m. and stayed to dark, Monday…

two new catchments for water runoff which are designed as lakes for the golf course would reduce the water utility while fitting the goal in redefining the club by renovating the course to create 7 modernised holes.
