Ambrose Bierce’s “The Boarded Window” uses rhetorical devices such as irony and foreshadowing to develop the themes of death and failure in the story, advertently relating the narrative to events from his past. “The Boarded Window” follows the tale told by an unnamed narrator about the mysterious character of Murlock, a man in his 50’s who was recently found dead in his cabin in the woods just outside of Cincinnati; in his home they find a mysteriously boarded window.

At the moment, Spieth is attempting to claim his third major championship of 2015, a feat that has been accomplished by only one player in history, Ben Hogan. Without Spieth, McIlroy and the popularity of Ricky Fowler, it’s hard to imagine where the PGA Tour’s popularity would be. Even though Spieth is chasing history, headlines generally refer to the unsuccessfulness of Woods. Despite his atrocious play, Woods is still the most popular golfer on any course. His magnetism hasn’t diminished because we all remember his hole-in-one at the 1997 Phoenix Open, or his finger-point at the 2000 PGA Championship when he followed the ball into the hole, or his gutsy performance on an injured knee to defeat Rocco Mediate at the 2008 U.S. Open.

There was one putt that I made that was nearly fifteen feet across a curving green. As time passed, more of my team members arrived along with the teams from other schools. Pretty soon, the first players were teeing off the number one tee.

In the article, “The Secret Life of Tiger Woods” by Wright Thompson, the author explains the life of champion golfer Tiger Woods after his father’s death. The article “Are parents ruining youth sports? Fewer kids play amid pressure,” by Michael S. Rosenwald illustrates how fewer kids are doing youth sports due to the constant pressure of feeling not good enough. Both of these articles explain how growing up with sports have affected the lives of many, however, I believe that the quest to become an “elite athlete” is not worth the many sacrifices it requires people to make. Many people give up so much in their life to become athletes, but ultimately it results in regrettable long-lasting problems which would never have happened if the sacrifices

It was in fourth grade when I started playing golf frequently. I would always run off into my backyard, drop my ball in the giant divot I usually play from, and start hitting the ball towards my golf flag. It was just a hobby at the time. I wasn’t super serious about trying to go to tournaments, nor was I trying to become like Tiger Woods. I just wanted to play the game.

However, they also offered tasty free sub sandwiches that kept me coming back. Over time, I became more familiar with the experienced golfers, who I initially looked upon with disdain and didn’t think I will ever understand, because not only did they think it was good fun, but also a sport, to hit a little stationary ball around with a stick- alone. However, despite my stubborn views, I came to understand that nothing about them was lax. They spent countless hours on the range, drilling their swings, practicing multiple shots with different clubs. Not only did they practice to keep a consistent swing that would deliver on the course, but also practiced shaping shots to face the potentially difficult situations they might find themselves in on the course.
