During the 1996 Masters golf tournament at Augusta, one of the world’s finest golf courses, Greg Norman played one of the greatest eighteen hole games he had ever played. Norman shot an incredible score of 63, which still stand today as a course record. Norman went into the second day of gold with a fifteen stroke lead, only to choke under pressure scoring a 78 the day after shooting such an amazing game. Nick Faldo managed to come from behind and defeating Norman by a five stroke margin winning…

the game. This is one of the things that makes the game so great. One may think he or she is successful at golf if he or she can consistently break 80 every round. Others may find that they are successful in the game if they obtain their PGA or LPGA Tour cards, no matter if they win any tournaments or not. Then there comes the “go-getters,” who believe they have achieved nothing unless they have won at the highest-level possible, which is the mindset of two of the…

Lorenzo pulled on his striped shirt and ridiculous hat. Being a gondolier was not exactly what he had planned on doing with his life, but he needed the money. If it was not for how well he was being paid he would not be rowing starry eyed tourists down the canals. Jobs like Lorenzo’s are not the only benefits to tourism.

"Golf is not a sport -- it's an artistic exercise like ballet. You can be a fat slob and still play golf." Because we agree with this statement by John McEnroe, who is a former professional tennis player, my partner and I reject the resolution: Golf is a sport. We offer the following reasons to support our side. My first reason is that golfers are not athletes. In contrast to a real sport, golf is not a rigorous physical activity. Burning just 360 calories per hour playing golf without the…

“Winter Dreams” is an excellent short story. The setting and tone of “Winter Dreams” draw the reader into the story wonderfully. The story “Winter Dreams” takes place mainly in Black Bear, Minnesota, sometime before World War I. The town sounds, to the reader, idyllic and peaceful. The setting is romantic. The tone is romantic, as well. The events of the story take on dream-like qualities because of the way the narrator describes them. “Winter Dreams” does an excellent job describing the…

Even though Tiger still hasn’t passed Jack Nicklaus’ eighteen major championship people still believe that Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer who ever lived. Tiger’s career hasn’t been all positive, though; the 2008 United States Open being the last major tournament he has won. Because of this slump, Matt Cochran advocated that Tiger…

Golf is a game that dates back hundreds of years, originating in Scotland. The main goal is to get a golf ball to a target a few hundred yards away, in the least amount of strokes as possible.

Today, players use clubs made of metals such as tungsten and steel to hit a golf ball down a set course. Golf has evolved into a game that cultures all around the world participate in.…
