The Sandwich I have searched endlessly to identify an aspect of life that embodied the core characteristics of honesty and integrity. Golf had me sold, and if it meant breaking out my grandfather’s old ping irons from the shed, well, then I was all in. The refreshing autumn air rested calmly on my face as I scaled the middle of the fairway, reaching for my sweet spot seven iron. Aligning my shot precisely, I darted the right side of the green leaving myself about a six foot putt. I had that…

of my favorite memories is when I surprised my dad in golf. We were either in North Carolina or South Carolina, I can’t remember which. This happened about a year or two ago. We drove far from our condo that was on the beach to another place that was pretty far away. We golfed in a neighborhood, which I didn’t find very safe but nothing bad happened. I have always, and still do, thought my dad was quite good at golf. Everything I know about golf, he taught me. Anyway, we were on a hole where…

I believe that golf should not be considered a sport and golf courses should stop being built and here’s why. First off, golf takes up to much land and new courses keep being built every where. Golf courses are mostly being built around forests or where wildlife inhabits the surrounding area. You might think that oh, only small creatures such as squirrels, birds, and many other creatures live around and when you build these useless courses you are ruining their homes which could have taken…

Origins of Golf Terminology While it is humorous, it is not true that the word Golf is an acronym for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden. The word “golf” actually comes from the past term for ‘club’. The earliest known mention of the word golf was in 1457 when King JamesⅡtried to ban “ye golf” in order to have more focused on Archery practice (Bogey para 5-9). However, the term golf, defind as we know it, was originated in Scotland. The term was used for the game Scottish shepherds used for…

"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…

I worked at being the best at the game of golf. I was first introduced to the game of golf by my dad at the very young age of three. My dad played so he bought me a child’s plastic golf club and ball so I could play with him. Several times we would go to Myrtle Beach National, as dad would play when it was nice out in the late afternoon before dark. I remember hitting the ball several times on the green as he played. He would even help me to hit the ball. When I got older, around the age of nine…

September Morning, and the start to the Mid Penn High school golf championship was just one hour away. I've made it to the Mid Penn Championship three times now, the last two years, I was unable to shoot the score needed to get me into the District three championships. This was my last year and I had to make the most of it to show myself and others that I can go somewhere with this sport. I've only played four years of competitive golf. Before Golf, I was a travel hockey player who spent much of…

can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. That is the stance that the Saddle Creek Golf Resort in Copperopolis is taking to embrace the drought. The ideal golf course has perfectly manicured grass that is as green as an Ireland hillside.But with water usage being highly monitored, and unnecessary outdoor watering being heavily scrutinized, Saddle Creek decided to roll with the punches and has decided that brown is beautiful. “I’ve been playing golf all my life and have been used to playing on very lush, green…

Three of the most challenging things on more difficult golf courses are water hazards, sand traps and narrow fairways. Each of these situations can present a unique test for any golfer’s skills, especially someone just learning to play the game. Golf jargon refers to each of these using some humorous terms, like in the drink, on the beach, or buried in the rough. But, if you test your golfing merits as a beginner-golfer on a course with too many of these challenges, you may found your afternoon…
