I am always
talking about golf and it could be boring for some but it really is what
interests me the most. Before coming to college I had a gap year where I completely
focused myself on this sport and played a lot of tournaments throughout Europe.
And as you can imagine I was reading a lot of golf magazines. And every time I
was turning the TV on it was to watch golf; it still is. J
The
magazines I like reading are GolfDigest and Golf Européen. GolfDigest is also
published in French so depending on where I was buying them I read either in
French or English. I always like to learn more about the professional players,
how they reached their goals, how they think, how they behave, what made them
so good and so on. I think this is my favorite part in these magazines. Another
thing that I enjoy reading in it are the technical tips. Not all of them are
useful for me as these magazines are written for a large public and most of
them don’t play that much and at that level, so most of the time it is pretty
basic but there are always some interesting tips or exercises to do while
practicing.
The other
thing I really liked was geopolitics. I used to study that in my geography
class. I enjoyed a lot learning about the world and different conflicts that
had just happened or happened during the Cold War as well as different leaders
such as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Amin Dada. It was very interesting to know
more about the world we live in and I was following the news on these subjects.
I was reading a lot of articles about these topics and conflicts. It was also
developing a lot our critical thinking and we could make our own opinion on
certain things that were happening in the world.
Although geopolitics isn't my forte, I understand your compassion for Golf. I am not the best golfer but in the past year I have tried to golf with my friends more and more to get better. I enjoy watching all the major tournaments and love the whole outing of going out to golf. I am interested in getting better and start to golf more often. Since I am from Minnesota, golfing is not really an all year activity. Now that I am down here in Florida, I will have the opportunity to golf much more and I will strive to take advantage of that. Learning the antics and rules of the game is very important to me and I hope to accomplish that before the end of the year.
