Golf course

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 age, playing golf taught me to be respectful and courteous towards my fellow golfers. Even though golf is an individual sport, as a member of my school’s team, I learned how to work in a team dynamic and…

hardly knew anything about golf when I took a job at a pro shop. Golf to me was just a game you went out and played with your buddies over a few colds one at some country club. I had no idea how the club was made, how the game was supposed to be played, or how much actual science was incorporated into every single thing you did on the course. But after just one year at my new job, I was promoted to Department Manager. So I guess you could say that I’m the Tiger Woods of golf knowledge, but still…

What is disc golf? It is the game that combines Frisbee and golf into one game. You throw a Frisbee disc down a hole and make it into a basket in as least amount of shots as possible, just as similar as you would play golf. In disc golf the courses are measured in feet rather than yards as what golf is measured in. It may not be a very well known sport but you would be surprised how many people play the game. It has been announced that the sport will make its first appearance in the 2016 Olympic…

Five years ago I can say that I was a different person on the golf course. I had a dream of playing college golf and it’s all I could think about. At my country club, there were around seven high school golfers who were all very good. I practiced more than all of them and went to a swing coach twice a month. I practiced everyday, but no matter how hard I practiced, or how much better I got at golf; my tournament scores were always terrible. I would play in scrambles with the older men and would…

have always been interested in the game of golf because I have a cousin that received a full scholarship to college for golfing. However, I was shocked to find out that the sport costs such a large amount of money to play. With the prices of the gear, memberships, and competitions, golfing is really quite expensive. During the presentation I found out that all golf courses cost different amounts of money to play. This means that the really nice courses are very expensive to play. Even though…

Cameron Kittle, an Executive Editor from the University of New Hampshire describes his love for golf and for Tiger Woods in his article “ I am Tiger Woods”. The author recalls as a five year old boy receiving his very first gold club; a rusty old sawed off five-iron. He went out to his backyard in Canton, Michigan to hit his very first golf balls.

able to cuddle somehow, but that was it. Again, to me this is nonsense, but it is part of history, it is good to know all this and how we improved over the time. I am in Social Service Worker- Gerontology program and I think that Human Sexuality course will help me to better understand the views of people around me and my future clients. It is necessary to be aware of religion, social norms, laws and morality of their time. All those historical facts that we covered in this class can be…

The Tiger Effect Golf is defined simply as a game where wooden or metal clubs are used to hit a small, white ball into a hole. One of the oldest structured games in existence, golf traces its roots back to Scotland in the 1400’s. Throughout centuries, golf has been a game enjoyed almost exclusively by affluent white males, largely because club memberships are expensive and restrictive. That all changed in 1996, when a young African American prodigy erupted on the scene, changing the…
