I had been having some trouble coming up with a narrative until a few days ago. It really has just been trying do not repeat something that I had already done before. I decided that I I want to do something involving golf since it has been a part of my life for a very long time. I haven't always practiced and played as much as I've wanted to because of various reasons, so the quality of my game changes often. I'm always reminded of something that my step-dad told me when I said to him that I wished I was as good as Tiger Woods. He said, "No you don't because if you did, you'd be out hitting balls until you're hands bleed," and that's the truth. That said, I still get upset when I do poorly.
I've found that the main message of this class, "slow down," also happens to be exactly what I need to do to be successful on the course. It always surprises me how emotional I can get over a stupid ball but it's that emotion that keeps me playing. It's the balance between the two, slowing down and emotion, that define what it means to be a good golfer or even a good anything.
I'm still not exactly sure what I want to do with this project, but here are a few of the photos that I liked best when I played on Monday. And yes, I skipped class to play golf but I promise it was solely to get some pictures to work with :)
