When the Senior PGA Golf Tour started in 1930 and from 1930 to 1979 it wasn’t very popular, the prize purse(prize…
the position. I practiced the move all the time in practice which made it easier to execute in a match. The effort from 7th grade year definitely help me my 8th grade year. It took 2 years for me to finally stand on the podium for a medal. Every tournament I was earning medals, it felt good to know I was finally a decent wrestler. Even tough, I enjoyed my success…
practiced three nights a week with a game on Friday, along with three games over the weekend. It was a lot of hard work, but we won almost all of our games. Our coach told us that if we kept up a good record, we could be invited to a big out of state tournament. One day when I was relaxing after practice, my mom said my coach was on the phone and wanted to talk to me. Before I even put the phone to my ear I heard him shout, “We are going to Cooperstown Dreams Park in New York!” A wave of…

me to play in the first tournament that season, and my first tournament ever, with a nervous stomach. The first hole I did was one over par, not great, by the third hole I lost my confidence and wonder why I ever thought I could play golf. By the sixth hole, I wanted to throw my clubs, stream, and shout; but I could control my emotions, but not my swing. A rhythm, tempo was missing and my score on the last three holes reflected my frustration. By the end of the tournament I wanted to throw a…
