Golf: Tournament and Practice

I completed my first golf tournament with a score of 119. This was my first tournament as well as first time playing 18 holes, basically my first full round. The course was the El Dorado at Quail Valley and I brought many balls in preparation for the many water hazards. The course looked good and the weather was cooler than the potential 90 degree heat that has been present just. I was paired with a Junior Varsity player from Episcopal who played very well and was pretty cool on the course. I didn't start off too well, but persevered with the mindfulness and in-the-present thinking for each new shot. I ended better than expected, still not very good, but happy with having played a good round of golf and with 3/18 balls still in hand.

Let's Golf

I have recently joined the school's golf team and have really enjoyed this experience so far. My past experience with this sport has been on and off, and my dad is big fan. While through my past experience I learned how to how to hold the club properly and the basic movement that should occur, I have found difficulty in the exact steps that need to happen for the best swing. I have begun working on my swing on the driving range and have found the ball going a bit further each time as I grow more comfortable to the tips and instruction by Mr. Roddy. The first step was working with shifting my weight and properly lifting the club back. This took a while to incorporate, but within the first few shots I have found improvement with both range and consistency. I have also been learning proper etiquette and rules for playing on the course which has been a great experience playing the holes at Herman Park. Carrying my bag is a bit tiresome, but I am grateful that the weather is still fairl...

Clue The Musical: Joining

I have recently just joined my schools theater production of Clue the Musical. Acting is not my forte, but I was able to be a part of this school activity as a member of the cast as the Assistant Stage Manager. I decided to join this production because in previous years at the school since I was an infant I there had been a production that would feature the entire class or school where everyone would take part. As a whole I enjoy this creation and process of these productions and being able to see the everything come together at the end, so I decided to be a part of it. It was also encouraging that I knew many people involved with the Clue production and once I expressed an interest they ensured I went through with it.

Leather Pen Case

This week, or couple days due to inclement weather, I focused on my second project for two reasons: I needed to figure out what else I wanted to do and the material to finish my first project had not come in yet. I wanted to do a project that would be usable to me and I decided upon doing a pen case due to to fulfilling that factor, as well as being a leather-working project—something I have wanted to work with for some time. Leather Pile To begin, I had to get some leather. After obtaining my material, I set out towards designing my case in Illustrator as I wanted to use the laser cutter to cut out my design. After cutting the leather with the laser cutter, I had to learn how to use the awls to create the stitching holes along the edges, as well as learn how to properly sew them together. Fortunately for me, Mr. Grisbee was willing and able to teach how to use the leather-working tools we have in La Tinkeria to do my project. Designed Illustrator File Sewing the leather t...
