Personal Narrative Essay: Golf Ballout
I looked down at the video in my hands, it showed me throwing a football into a hoop for Super Bowl 50.
“I’ve got the Panthers!” I declared as the ball left my hands into the Hurricane like winds that blew my messy, way too long, dark brown hair into a huge mess. The ball didn’t come down for a while.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Finally the ball plops down into the hoop like a golf ball into a hole.
“I’ve got the Broncos!” my friend Ashton screamed to the camera through the wind. He throws the ball with all of his might, a perfect swish into the hoop.
“Yes I made it!” he screamed
“Let's play that back on the TV!” I yelled back.
My friend Ashton and I have a trick shot account called Eat Sleep Sportz. If you’re wondering we don’t do minecraft or any other any other game …show more content…
We always have these random battles where we say random things to each other like earwax in my bathtub or Hillary Clinton doing backflips off of the Empire State Building.
For the shot at the waterpark we were coming down the slide and throwing a basketball into a hoop from about 85 feet away. We both tried it for an hour but didn’t succeed so we had to come up with a strategy to make it.
“We will each take 1 shot until someone makes it” I concluded. On my first try I chucked the basketball as far as I could, over the gray railing and the green side of the slide and watched the orange basketball float up into the air like a hot air balloon. I didn’t even have to look at it I just slid down the bumpy dark slide and celebrated. I knew that ball was going nowhere but into the soft, cushioning embrace of the net.
After we posted that incredible shot we decided to do a Super Bowl shot again for Super Bowl 53. This game was the Chargers against the Packers and we were so excited because it was similar to the shot we did 3 years ago. This time it took us 15 minutes instead of 5
