Cameron's Reflection

     The short story, “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” made me think about what a powerful influence one life could have.  The hero in the story is Esteban.  He came to a tiny village of ordinary people who lived normal and average lives.  Even though he arrived dead, he impacted the village and surrounding areas for many years to follow.

     Young people are so often content living their lives in the status quo mode.  We are content in just surviving.  However, sometimes when an “Esteban” comes into our lives, he inspires us to rise above this status quo.  We become somewhat like the village people who were different after being introduced to the dead corpse!  We dream bigger dreams, and we want to take on the world.

     I often become comfortable with my life.  I go through the daily routines of going to school, doing homework, eating, sleeping, and playing golf.  I can do this for weeks at a time without much change.  Then, something or someone might come into my life to change the routine such as an awesome youth pastor, an inspirational story, or a miraculous hole in one on the eighteenth hole at Augusta with millions of people watching on the television.  When something like this happens, I stop to think about what I could do to live a better life.  I think what I can do to not be satisfied with just being average.  I then decide I want to live my live above the status quo.

     In conclusion, this story, “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World”, has made me realize in life I cannot settle for just being average.  I want to excel.

Live  from Muirfield

                The article written on July 19, 2013 “Drive for show, Putt for dough” was a great article that described  that your driving distance in golf does not win tournaments for you. The article said, “Zach Johnson is one of the shortest hitters off the tee box, but yet he is still leading the open after one round.”  The course in Muirfield was quite demanding for some people.

            The course demanded great accuracy. The reason the course required great accuracy was because the course was in Scotland, and the ground was very hard. Therefore, the ball ran a long way. The other huge reason the course demanded accuracy was because it had waist high rough that was practically impossible to hit out of it.

            The course was very difficult for the long hitters such as Bubba Watson, and Dustin Johnson. For example, it said, “The fact that many of the long hitters struggled yesterday, accuracy trumps distance here at Muirfield. Francesco Molinari, for example, shot a 2-under 69, leaving him in a tie for 9th place.” It also says, “He also hit an incredible 16 greens, ranking him second in greens in regulation. However, while Molinari’s putting was not entirely lacking, he had seven more putts than Johnson.”

                The course at Muirfield was proven to be very difficult. The Claret Jug will be waiting for the best available player. The Claret Jug was a very high honor to received for winning the tournament. The Claret Jug was perhaps one of the most coveted trophy in the game of golf.
