Golf Day 6 - TopGolf

 At the beginning of the day, we started by having a small class conversation about our upcoming day, with a quick walk-through of everything that would be happening at TopGolf. We then hopped on the bus and began our trip to TopGolf. When we arrived, we immediately got to playing some golf, the games were off! Then at eleven, we all took a break to eat and chat with the groups that we had previously been playing with. We had lunch, then got right back to playing, and had about an hour left, which everyone used to the fullest. When it was time to go, everyone made their way back to the bus.

A little while later we made our journey back to school, and when we all finally arrived around 1 pm, we took a breather inside from the game in the class, and then got to work! Golf 1 began working on an assignment about racism and sexism in golf’s history, while Golf 2 had some time to read and seminar on Golf in the Kingdom. After our reading for Golf 1, we decided to take a break outside and finish the seminar on the quad in the sun. This Monday was absolutely overall super productive and really fun. Definitely a highlight on the Golf A-Term.

Day 2 of Golf A-Term: Hot and Humid

  Day #2 of Golf Despite the wording of the title, this wasn't exactly our second day of golf. On the first day it was more of an orientation and introduction to the game for people who didn't know how to play it (and for the players already acquainted with the game it was a mind numbingly, torturous review of the same rules and techniques we had heard millions of times over). Everyone was pretty excited to get out and play, especially since we would be playing on a beginner's course without water hazards. Not only that, but we would be the only ones on the course, so we didn't have to speed up our game. We left at 10:30 after the two groups finished reading and discussing the two books, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons and Golf in the Kingdom. When I got off the bus and the sunshine hit my body it felt as if an anvil had been dropped on my poor, poor neck. You see, after getting used to below 50 degree weather(and not to mention hell week) your body becomes very susceptibl

Day 3 of The Golf A-Term: Golfing Against The Elements

 Day 3 of our Golf A-Term consisted of a lot of golf (shocker). We started the morning off by splitting up the groups once more into Golf 1 and Golf 2. While Golf 1 spent time with Mr. Roddy presenting their findings on historical golfers and courses. Golf 1 enjoyed a quiet morning consisting of reading the course-mandated book and researching how players and coaches mentally prepare for a round of golf. After Golf 1 finished, they went outside and practiced the proper grip of a golf club and took photos to analyze and critique themselves. Meanwhile, Golf 2 went with Mr. Roddy to discuss our findings on the mental aspect of golf and how certain people control and apply certain techniques to it during play.  Once the presentations by both groups were finished, the entire class hopped in the bus and headed towards our golfing paradise at FM Law Park. Yesterday, we experienced the best sweat-inducing heat that Houston has to offer. However, today was an interesting mixture of humidity, ra
