As an eighth grader on a sports team, I was one of the youngest players on the golf team and there were a lot of high hopes for me because I had been golfing ever since I was very young. The previous year, there were many seniors that graduated and I actually made the varsity team. There are a total of five players from each school that make it to the the State Tournament if they qualify as a team. All season, I was the number five golfer which meant that I could be replaced at any time if I…

Notably, it was during a club and sports fair during her 8th grade year that pulled her into golf on a whim, and helped teach many life lessons along the way.

My Worst Golf Game Most people would not expect playing a round of golf could be so challenging. In fact, I believe out of all the sports or pastimes, as some people would categorize it, golf is the most complicated and technical sport to ever exist. Let me take you through a few holes of a journey to one of my worst golf games ever played. Four years ago, my dad signed me up for “The George Holliday Memorial” Junior golf tournament. A three-day annual tournament that is held during the…
with your right hand; push with your right foot; keep your head down; don’t lift your left heel. But the funny thing about golf is that it translates almost too well into words. What people don’t tell you about golf is that the mess of anatomical information you’re bombarded with in the beginning is useless, unless you have an idea of what you need. You have to hit a golf ball for yourself, without any preconceived notions of how you’re supposed to do it to really learn- just stop thinking,…
angle is decreased from 56 degrees to 48 degrees then the distance the golf ball travels will increase. The idea of the project is to determine whether a higher lofted golf club or a lower lofted golf club(these types of golf clubs are irons) causes the ball to travel a greater distance. Many people do not know the significance of the loft on a golf club. When golfing one of the most important things to know is the loft angles on golf clubs which controls the height and the length the ball…
One of my favorite hobbies is golf. I've been playing for more than four years and I really enjoy it. With the help of my coaches, I’ve improved drastically lot over the years. At The First Tee, a youth golf organization, I was taught the nine core values of golf: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgement. These core values are not only important in golf, but also in my daily life. Playing golf, either on a nine-hole or an…

dad if we could play a round of golf. Since I was a baseball fanatic at the timen, my dad was surprised by my question, but nevertheless he set up a round of golf for us. When I hit a ball off the first tee, I knew I had found a new, strong passion. Although my swing was horrible, I was determined to practice golf everyday to become better. I told my mom about my exhilarating experience on the golf course later that night, and I slowly began to realize that I loved golf more than baseball for…
to a PGA tour event. The loudest hole in golf is located on hole 16 at the TPC Scottsdale Waste Management Phoenix Open. It is a historical hole that is now surrounded by a stadium and that can hold up to 60,000 fans. These fans tend to be of the younger generation and they are known for being loud and obnoxious. The Professional Golf Association is try to restrict the fun that occurs at that hole and I despise the fact that they hurting the game of golf because of these restrictions. The…
