Artist Statement Golf is more than a game to me; it’s a way of life. From growing up with a grandfather that lives and loves golf and being drug into it by my best friend in eighth grade I have grown to love the game myself. How well I play doesn’t always matter to me, being on a fairway is almost therapeutic. It is calming and allows me to relax after a long day. When I golf in the mornings, it sets my mood for the day. This year turned out to be a good season for me. I made MVP for the CM Varsity girls’ golf team and placed forth in league. My place in our league allowed to make First Team All Conference. Unfortunately I sprained my wrist two days before Regionals, and was unable to compete. This was a very depressing day for me filled with tears and not many words. Now that I will be leaving high school soon I can look back and be thankful for having such an amazing season, great coach, and wonderful friends and family to support me my senior year! Once done with high school there is no question whether I will be done will golf. I could never give up something so important in my life. Finding a base, or background, for my mask was the biggest problem I faced. I wanted to use fake putting grass, but was unable to attain any. I also had a hard time getting the flags to stay standing on the mask! I believe that my mask project turned out very well! I am pleased with the final outcome, although the process was long, slow, and hard. Believe it or not, this was very emotional for me. It made me realize that my years of playing competitive golf for CMHS really are over. I do not know yet if I want to take golf to the college level. The parts I like the best on my mask would be the bunkers, and the pond! They add texture and definition, and make it more realistic.
