Personal Narrative: The Impact Of Golf On My Life
Golf has impacted my life greatly; more than I had expected. When I first joined golf I was the only girl on the team. In fact, I was the first girl to ever play golf for Holgate. When I decided that I wanted to join the team, I, of course asked other girls to join, in fear of being the only girl on an all guy's team. Even though my persuasion failed, I was determined in playing golf. Looking back, I am glad that I did not let my fear stop me from joining this sport that I love. I became so fond of my team that I was lucky to be apart of it.

    Night Hoops

    After reading Night Hoops, I have developed a new mindset on how I should pursue my goals no matter what impediments obstruct my ability to reach them. Nick, the protagonist, always dreamt of earning his spot on his high school’s varsity basketball team, but his road to the team was filled with family troubles; being overshadowed by his older brother, Scott; and run-ins with Trent, the local bully. However, Nick persevered through it all and accomplished his goal of making the varsity basketball team. Over the past few years, I have been extremely dedicated to becoming the best golfer I can be. However recently, I have lost my enthusiasm for the game. Because of this, I feel like I can relate to Nick and although he is a fictional character, use him as inspiration to rededicate myself to the game of golf.…

This was a devastating moment for me, but I realized that I needed to try harder and work harder to make it on the team the next year.

    Personal Narrative: Girls Golf Team

    I couldn't be more excited to finally play on a girls golf team starting this next Monday! After having three concussions ending my soccer career, my dad came to me and suggested I join the golf team. As a freshman, I joined the boys team at Slinger High School. Most of the guys accepted the idea of a girl playing with them. Many helped me out and treated me like any other teammate, which definitely calmed my nerves for the first few weeks. I competed in almost all the matches. The first few matches were very scary because I got many strange looks from other teams. My teammates were always there for me though. I became so comfortable and by the end of the season I made many friends and accomplished a lot as an individual. I found myself in…

    Mental Aspects Of Playing Golf

    About two years ago, I made the decision that I wanted to play golf. Most people consider it one of the easiest sports to play. I can see why. I don’t have to run or really do anything athletic however, the hardest thing about golf is overcoming the mental aspect. The mental aspect of playing golf has made a noticeable impact not only in my game, but in my everyday life as well. This was not something that happened overnight. I still struggle with it today. I used to be extremely negative and hard on myself to the point that I had a difficult time letting myself just play. I was so criticizing toward myself that I didn't even want to continue to play. I needed to learn to let some things go, whether it be a bad shot or a bad hole. I had to…

    Personal Narrative: My Involvement In Sports

    From the day I could walk, I was involved in sports. From playing tee-ball in the backyard with my dad when I was three, to trying three new sports as a senior, athletics have been an integral part of my life. In my elementary school days, I tried every sport that was offered through the Jefferson Parks and Recreation. This included baseball, football, wrestling, karate, soccer, and tennis. Through middle school, I dropped several of these sports to focus on my two favorite sports, baseball and wrestling. Training for these two sports never ended and most of my time was spent either on a baseball field or on a wrestling mat. Entering my high school years, baseball and wrestling were the only sports I competed in. By my sophomore year, I was…

    Personal Narrative: A Day On The Golf Course

    The epitome of peacefulness and serenity is different to every human who has ever walked the face of the earth. Some might view peacefulness as laying on a beach, sun shining, and listening to the waves roll in. Others may view peacefulness as a quiet day with no worries and nowhere to be. Others still may think of peacefulness as a casual stroll through a park or garden. A day on the golf course combines all of these fantasies into one fantastic day that I look forward to on a daily basis. A day on the golf course always comes with a care-free feeling while strolling up and down hills and through trees, and most golfers also get to spend some time in the sand. Why this is so peaceful is a mystery to most. Who would want to chase a little…
