Introduction to Writer’s Choice: Golfing is a Community

I chose this writing assignment from the community section of our assignment because it was basically well written as an English paper and just needed some expansion of one of the points I made in the original draft (this will appear in bold) about how individual preferences are okay in the sport of golf, as long as they don’t interfere with the golfing community as a whole. In this paper I successfully analyzed how golfing has mostly stayed true to it’s origins and traditions over hundreds of years, despite many cultural and societal changes going on around it. Part of the reason for the stability of the golfing community is the aspect of tradition. Many of the tenets of golf are based on tradition, and are followed closely, as I pointed out in the paper. I have personally identified with the sport of golf for about ten years now, and feel that it has become an important part of my identity. The fact that this paper actually incorporates something I closely identify with, as well as the concepts of community and tradition, I felt it was the one that would complete my portfolio for this class.
