The gorgeous game of Golf (Open Topic)

-

I am a Golf fan; Golf is a unique sport because it includes frustrations like none you'll experience in any other sport. Played on wide open settings, with long, winding fairways, sandy bunkers, and wet ponds. Golf is such a mental challenge, way more than you would ever believe. The game is quite simple to play: you use a club, and there are many different clubs to choose from that hit the ball higher or lower in the air depending on the distance to the hole; you hit a small ball into holes (Usually 18 holes) on a course in as few strokes as possible. What sets golf apart is the atmosphere and the friendships among players. This summer, my friends and I went once or twice a week; I was one of the worst ones, but it's okay because it's a game that allows you to have fun even if you chunk a few shots consecutively. It's a game that demands a lot like focus, patience, and technique, which are many things I struggle with, which could explain my struggles on the course. The Professional Golfers' Association, commonly known as the PGA, is the biggest professional league in the world. The league was founded back in 1916. It has many professionals and experts; among the best are Scotty Shelffler, Victor Hovland, and Rory Mcilroy. The PGA Tour has massive tournaments featuring the world's best golfers competing for prestigious titles and big prize money. These events are major championships like The Masters, the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship, which are attractive because these are some of the few events where I believe the regular average Joe can attempt to get in through a series of play-ins.

    Interesting! I like the expression, "chunk a few shots"!

Challenges and Experiences W/ Microtheme

 At the start of this, I never would have believed a one-page paper would end up causing me to think as hard as I've had to. There were thousands of topics to choose from, yet everyone I leaned towards didn't set me up with a good foot in the ground to touch on everything I needed to touch on throughout the essay. Occasionally, I cracked the code on what a good topic was. Therefore, I would start writing a rough draft and end up with nothing, no ideas on where to continue going with the topic, forcing me to start from scratch. After having that happen twice, I found a good topic; at least, I'd imagine it's a good topic. We must wait for peer review to decide the topic's fate. It's also slightly confusing as there are so many minor details to avoid or put in, which is different from most essays I'm used to writing where it told you exactly what to include, and I never really had to worry about including something I shouldn't have.

What I learned about the Library

-

This past week, our class had the opportunity to have a class in the library computer lab, which was different and unique. I guess you would say we had a guest speaker, a librarian, who knew the ins and outs of all there was to the library. I believe her name was Laura Cameron. In CARD writing, we had just begun working on Rational Argument papers, and part of this assignment is the requirement to have a few academic journals. The problem is that finding these things using Google or Safari is extremely difficult. Therefore, the goal of the library lesson was to help us learn how to use the tools that the Oesterle library had made available to us as students. First, I learned much about media types and how they differ in areas like their academic style. A few of these resource types include things like Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles, which are original research. There are Encyclopedia Articles that fit into the analysis and trends category, which you would consider slightly more academi...

Lacrosse (Open Topic)

 I can't believe I've skipped this topic for so long; it's my favorite sport. Anyway, Lacrosse is often referred to as "the fastest game on two feet" and known as the fastest-growing sport in the world, well before pickleball's popularity suddenly skyrocketed. Not many people know; even those who play the sport know it originated among Native American tribes, particularly the Iroquois and Algonquin nations. For Native Americans, the game served various purposes, including settling disputes and training warriors. The first games of Lacrosse could have hundreds of players and were played on vast fields with goals placed miles apart. French missionaries in the 17th century saw the game and named it "la crosse" because of the players' unique equipment. Over time, Lacrosse evolved and gained popularity in North America, and the sport continued to grow, leading to rules and leagues. Two professional leagues exist nowadays, the MLL and PLL. The PLL was ...
