The course received its very first Fall frost on November 20th, and those chilling temperatures gave way, to a little needed golf time-out for the upcoming holiday festivities. Speaking of festivities, the 9-hole ladies celebrated their annual Christmas Lunch on December 3rd, and lunch wouldn't be complete without the beautiful table decor created by our lovely Suzanne Schmitz.

Lori has proven to be a wonderful golf historian and 9-hole photographer. Way to go, Lori.…
Thanksgiving Myths There are many Thanksgiving myths but I’m here to talk to you about two of them. The first one is “Native Americans wore complicated headdresses.” Well the feathery headdresses you are thinking of are barely worn only on special occasions.…
Last November, a week before Thanksgiving, I was listening to the morning radio talk show The Woody Show and the hosts were talking about how excited they were for the Thanksgiving feast. They all went around and shared what was their perfect meal for that day. It ranged from fried turkey, to stuffing, cornbread, green bean casserole, and towards the end the hosts argued about cranberry sauce. However, they all agreed that pumpkin pie was essential to the perfect meal. I found it very interesting that while they argued about the way the meal was executed, they all agreed on the basic components to the meal-I didn’t.…
The anticipation for Thanksgiving break is over the top. The thought of home cooked meals, family, and no professors talking a student 's ear off for a week are heavenly. Of course all the classic thanksgiving things happen but there are also psychological things that go on. (Darn that psychology sneaking its way into everything, it obviously never goes on break.) Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion, personality, and the self.…
A time when I was scared was when I went to the doctor, and I had to get four shots. I was scared because I don’t like needles. When the doctor said I needed four shots I was scared out of my mind. She asked me where I wanted them, then I told her in my arm. When she was about to give me the first shot I started screaming and crying.…
Thanksgiving: A “Family” Tradition As the family gathers around the table with plates full of various foods, everyone bows their head to say ‘grace.’ My cousin Bethany explains grace as “a thankful prayer, we thank god for everything we are about to eat and for bringing us all together.” After grace is said, and everyone mutters amen, the food is eaten. My fraternal grandmother explains the food we are eating.…
Have you ever experienced the powerful attraction of fear? Have you ever wonder why your imagination run wild when you experience something terrifying?

Fear is a compelling phenomenon that drives people to react different or even against their own will when they are stimulated by fear. Imagination overcomes reason when the need for something to be true overwhelms the logic of an individual.…

As a kid I had many chances to prove my bravery to my friends and family, but I never took the chance. There was once where I decided to actually prove to myself that I could be brave and also show my friends that I wasn't scared. Me and friends were in in the forest playing hide and seek, we would play for hours until we had to go home when it got dark, but we decided to play in the night because we have never tried it. It was around 7:30 when we all got together to go to the forest, one of my friends said that we should take flash lights so we could see, but the rest of the guys said no, so we can have more of a challenge. They chose me to count first because everyone else was to scared, we all agreed to not go to far into the woods…
Fearnot-Narrative Fear can ruin your life. Fear is just a mentality. Fear can mean different things to people, it can be the difference between someone not exactly loving spiders, and not hating them and someone having a meltdown every time they see a spider. For some people, a fear can be so stressful and life-crippling that they’ll try anything in their power to avoid their fear even if it means staying at home for days at a time. Fear has the power to prevent people from experiencing the joys of life and the best way to lose a fear is to expose yourself to your fear.…
I looked out into the clear blue water as my toes curled over the edge of the pool’s wall “Just pretend it’s a giant bowl of Mac and Cheese!” my instructor yelled. Any child would be delighted to jump into a large bowl of their favorite food; however, any sensible person could tell that the 6-foot diving well was anything but Mac and Cheese. Most children my age were just as scared I was, but as the years passed, it became apparent that fear was a challenge I could not overcome without hesitancy.…

Candlelight services on Christmas Eve, Pajamas and teddy bears before Santa, Gram’s gravy on Christmas morning and of course our annual Christmas Day movie. Then there were the summertime memories centralized on your backyard pool with a large fun island and a floating basketball goal. As the summer sun would slip below the horizon, our mouths watered with anticipation of dinner from the grill followed by Kunta cream.…
