A few weeks ago during gym, instead of playing basketball, a group of us went to a golf course and learned about golf. I had an experience playing golf from a couple of years ago; before I came to this school, in the summer of 2012, I had gone and played on the same course. The program that taught us is called The First Tee.
I signed up for The First Tee, which we will now have every Friday until the 24th of June. Two weeks ago, we had our first practice on an actual golf course and I was very happy. The golf course we went to was very big and beautiful, with two very big driving ranges and 18 beautiful holes for the players. A driving range is a long piece of land where people hit balls as far as they can.
First, we went to the golf course’s cafe and we got free meals. After eating, we went to the putting green, which is where people work their short golf shots, which are known as putts. On the putting green, we played a game of golf tic tac toe and miniature golf. After that, we went to the driving range to hit some balls. During this, my dad surprised me and showed up at the driving range. I think I got the farthest hit of all the kids in our group, because I saw my balls go very far. After the driving range, we went to look at the other parts of the course. We didn’t do a lot of stuff other than that, because we got there late. After it was over, I told my coach I was really looking forward to next week.
