Blog #1
My name is Kelly Waters. I'm from Flemington, New Jersey. I have two older brothers, a cat, and a dog. I'm a psychology major and hope to be a clinical psychologist one day. I live on a golf course and during high school my team won state championships for New Jersey all four years. Considering a large part of my life has been dedicated to golf, I consider myself part of the golf community. For me, the most interesting part of golf is the unspoken language between players. Simply teeing off first could be considered completely rude. I plan to research the most absurd etiquette rules for a golfer.

This is a great topic, Kelly. You sound like you have a substantial amount of personal experience to draw upon, and I'm sure there is plenty of internal literature produced by golf courses and golf leagues that you can reference to describe what kind of community standards are in place.
ReplyDeleteExploring the "unspoken language between players" sounds really interesting, and this may be a good place for you to begin your research. I imagine there are tons of verbal and nonverbal social cues that are unique to the competitive golf community.
Have you thought about a specific personal memory or event to focus on for your personal account? I think you could begin with almost anything including one of your first experiences watching golf, the first time you picked up a golf club, or winning the New Jersey State Championship.
I've always wanted to play golf but never have. Sounds like this will be interesting.
