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 courses, and I really had my…
Golf has been looked at by some as a mere game, or just an activity. However, this is not the case. Golf should be considered a sport because of the income brought in by the athletes, how it has been put into the Olympics (the ultimate worldwide sporting event), and how it is played just like other sports, amateurly and professionally. Based on income, athletes that compete in golf are some of the best paid athletes in the entire world. Two of the top four richest athletes of all time are…
observation took place on the most beautiful golf resort of Naples, Tiburon Golf Club at the Ritz Carlton Golf Resort where my subject currently works.

Today my subject Jason is playing the black course which has a rating of 69.7 and a slope of 133 this only explains the difficulty within the course. Each course has eighteen holes with…
contemplating yardage, angle and loft, dreaming of my future, I am at peace, I am on the golf course. When I was four years old, my dad put a club in my hand and a ball at my feet, since then, I have loved and despised the game of golf. From the moment I was introduced to the game, I was hooked and while many view it simply as ‘a game’, I have been fortunate enough to take much more away from the course. The game has seen me at my best and seen me at my worst. It has instilled in me many of…
Golf is a $70 billion annual industry in the United States alone, with 24.1 million players across the nation. The sport of golf was created in the 1300's in Scotland, and has been around longer than all modern-day professional sports combined.

The oldest golf club in America is St. Andrew's Golf Club in Yonkers, New York, built in 1888, 14 years before the…
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…
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…

proper arc, are my feet far enough away, or too close? All these, and more, in the milliseconds before impact, and then it’s gone. Another shot, right down the fairway. Golf has been an integral part of my life, and I dare say a passion, since I was six years old. At that age I walked up to my Dad one day, and said, “Can we golf?” That simple question has since changed my life for the better. Being an awesome Dad, he said sure, and signed me up for group lessons at the local driving range.…
