Golf is one of my favorite sports. Although, it is also one of the toughest sports too. I love to play a round of 18 with my dad and grandfather. I think the best was when I played in Arizona. Well, because you probably do not know how to play the sport does not mean you cannot learn. Here are three steps to help you learn how to play. One of the main things you must learn about golf is that the pro’s make it look way too easy, and it really takes time and hard work, so do not give up. The first thing is, before you can golf, know that it takes concentration to succeed. Before each swing you have to focus or you might make a mistake. The next thing is that golf is all about practice, because as they say, practice makes perfect. Practicing is not so easy, there is a little bit of a difference between clubs for example you would stand farther back with a driver but, not with an iron. With the driver and woods you stand farther back and give a more straight swing, but keep your eyes on the ball. With irons, it is a closer swing and you want to get a little under the ball so it can get up in the air. With the special clubs it is easy, you just do the same as an iron, but really get under the ball this time. Golf is all about technique, if you can get it down you can golf. Golf also takes devotion. It takes a long time to learn golf, though practice helps, the more you play the better you get. So you have to really have a lot of free time to practice. The main point is give as much time as you can to golfing, because what you put into it is what you get in return. Concentration, practicing, devotion, if you can get them down, can make you a great golfer. Just three easy steps to learn along with your regular learning can help very much. I know if I were to have been given those three steps I would be a much better golfer. Once you put all those steps together you are ready to go play a round of 18. That is the sport of golf, so go and enjoy.

persuasive... St. Agnes needs a place to play outdoor sports. We need a stadium, for sports such as football, soccer, field hockey, etc. It is sad when one of our teams is good one year and yet they never get the advantage of a home game. Every team deserves at least one home game. One reason to build a stadium is as I said, to have the home advantage. Well, if you think home advantage is not a big deal, well it may not seem like it but for a team who has never had one it defiantly is a big deal. Not only that, but another big advantage of being on your home turf is knowing the grounds. Like say the turf is very easy to get in your cleats or it is always five degrees hotter on the field then what the average temperature is outside. And if you have a home game you will get more supporters. I know most students want to support their team but if the game is 30 minutes away from where they live, I do not think they are going to want to make that commute. If it is a home game, it is close to them because they probably live close to the place they go to school. It would not take that long to get there, so in turn, fans would show up which means more support for you team. The second reason for building a stadium is that there will be more fans, as I said before. More students usually show up at home games just because they know many people will be there. It is easier to get there. The cheering will be louder too. The third reason is that St. Agnes could make money off the games. Not only is there a small entrance fee for spectators, but there has got to be a concession stand. I mean a stadium is not a stadium without the snacks! It just is not the same. We could also sell St. Agnes spirit wear for Aggie and Saints fans. All sports teams deserve a nice place to play, not just the indoor sports teams but the outdoor ones too. I know how it feels to always play at someone else “house”. Don’t you think that it is the other teams turn to see how it feels?
