Introduction

The Grade 11 students of Annandale Secondary were required to plan and conduct a Golf
Competition for their Physical Education School Based Assessment. Every Physical Education
Student would have donated a sum of $1500 for the funding of prizes and some would have
donated fruits, water etc. All of which were made in contribution to the Golf Competition.
There were also many roles which were needed to be played in order for the Golf Competition to
be a success. The roles included Directors, Secretaries, Media Personnels, Scorers, Team
Stewarts and Medics. All those roles listed previously would have been detrimental in the
successful and complete implementation of this Golf Competition.
The role to which I was assigned was a Team Stewart.

History Of Golf

International Golf
Origins of the Game

Golf is often believed to have originated from the game of “stick-and-ball” or “Gof”, which dates

back to 14th century Scotland. The first recorded reference to golf in writing was found in 1457,

which is believed to have originated from a royal edict by King James II of Scotland, who

banned golfing as a distraction from practicing archery.

Although the origin of the game is uncertain, it is thought that the true origin of golf may have

derived from a much older golf-like game called Konfusion. In Konfusion, players hit a stuffed

leather ball with a club until it reached a hole in the ground. As the popularity of the game

increased, the rules and regulations of it became increasingly formalized.

By 1754, golf was a recognized sport in Scotland, and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club was

formed in 1744. The club defined and standardized the rules of the game for golfers and came to

be known as the ruling body of golf.

By the 19th century, golf had become an incredibly popular worldwide sport. The first

international tournament was held in 1873 and eventually the British Open Championship was

founded in 1860. The modern era of golf is often said to have begun in 1860, when the first set of

rules were published by the R&A.

Middle Ages Development

The sport of golf is believed to have originated from Scotland in the Middle Ages. During this

period, similar games were played in the Netherlands, China, and other areas of Europe. On

March 6, 1457, King James II of Scotland issued a decree that outlawed the game of golf in an

5
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

attempt to encourage his citizens to focus on archery practice instead. However, the game was so

popular that in 1502, King James IV of Scotland repealed his predecessor's ban on the sport.

The first known reference to golf with “a golf” was in the year 1552. In the same year, Mary

Queens of Scots was recorded playing golf at St Andrews Links. By the end of the 17th century,

golf became popular throughout Scotland and was played to a standardised format, setting the

stage for the future rules of the sport.

The modern game of golf is heavily based on the rules set down by the Honourable Company of

Edinburgh Golfers (now the Royal and Ancient Golf Club) in 1744, though the game has been

modified over the years by the USGA and The R&A. The first Open Championship was held in

1860, leading to the development of professional golfers.

Beginnings of Professional Golf

Golf has a long and rather complicated history of professional leagues. The first organized

professional golf event was a tournament at Blackheath Club in London, England in 1883. Later

that same year, the British Professional Golfers Association (PGA) was formed.

In 1901, the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA) was formed in New York City

by a group of prominent players and golf club owners, including golf professional Walter Hagen.

The PGA of America quickly became the standard-bearer of professional golf in the US,

organizing and sanctioning individual tournaments.

Until the 1970s, professional golf was mainly the domain of elite British and American golfers.

But the game began to reach new audiences and international fans in the late 20th century as

foreign players began to enter the tournaments. The first golfing "superstar" from this era was

Jack Nicklaus, who made his professional debut in 1962.

Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

Today, professional golf is an international phenomenon. There are several major professional

leagues, including the PGA Tour, the European Tour, and the Japan Golf Tour. Professional golf

is one of the most lucrative sports in the world, with many players earning millions of dollars in

prize money and endorsements.

Expansion of the Game

By the 18th century, golf had firmly established itself as the world's most popular ball game and

has since continued to expand both geographically and, more recently, beyond the traditional

golf courses and putting greens. With the advent of miniature golf, disc golf and virtual golf, the

game of golf has been played in a variety of different formats and venues.

Golf is a beloved game that is found on all continents, with professional and amateur

tournaments occurring all over the world. Besides the golf courses and putting greens, miniature

golf courses have proliferated in many countries and continue to draw in enthusiastic players.

Similar to the traditional game of golf, miniature golf involves the use of a club to hit a small ball

into a small hole, usually with obstacles laid out along the way.

Disc golf, another form of golf, is similar to miniature golf except that it uses a flying disc

(frisbees) instead of a traditional golf ball. The game is often played in parks and urban areas,

with baskets serving as the 'holes' for the player to shoot towards. It combines elements of golf,

Frisbee and target-style games, making it a unique form of golf that is becoming more and more

popular.

Virtual golf has also become popular, with video game-style simulations allowing players to

enjoy the game from the comfort of their own home. This allows players to experience the

7
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

strategy and the fun of golf without having to go outside. With the increasing popularity of

virtual golf, the game of golf has become more accessible and exciting than ever before.

Regional History Of Golf

The first British Guiana Amateur Golf Championship was held in 1927 at the Georgetown Golf

Course. The players that participated in that historic event were F.A. Donaldson, I.R. Cowell,

G.N. Tracey, J.W. Potter, Dr. R.O. Sibely, S.G. Smith, A.G. King, G.H. Smellie, G.R. Reid, A.

Fyfe, Governor A. Hill, J.D.M. Bourne, Dr. G.H. Steven, B.S. Herbertson, F.B. Henderson, D.

Fitzmaurice, H.B. Sadler, B.R. Wood, H. Stayner, and J. Gilchrist.

The first round was played at the Georgetown Golf Course on March 21st, 1927. Mr. F. A.

Donaldson’s 78 points stood out from the large list of competitors while Mr. T. R Cowell scored

an 81 and Captain G.N Trace an 82 for the 18 holes. Mr. Donaldson’s only dangerous rivals for

the trophy were T. R. Cowell and G. N. Trace.

The second round was played on the 27th of March 1927 at the Demerara Golf Course Turkeyen.

It was hoped that another contest with eliminating and qualifying rounds would be arranged and

there was also a strong desire by many of the golfers towards the ultimate fixture of a West

Indian Championship which could be played on different courses from year-to-year.

Nine years after, in July 1936, W.H.B. Ortwin won at the Georgetown Golf Club. W.H.B.

Ortwin won with a total of 33 ½ points. A.G. Sterling was second with 32 points, while J.R. Gill,

T.S. Harrington, and H.C.B. Humphrey ended in the third, fourth and fifth position respectively.

Below are the final scores for the 1936 tournament.

Local History Of Golf

Golf in Guyana has an interesting history! The sport was introduced to the country in the early 2
0th century, with the first British Guiana Amateur Golf Championship held in 1927 at the Georg
etown Golf Course. Over the years, golf has grown in popularity, especially among students.

In recent years, there has been a significant push to promote golf in Guyana. The Guyana Golf A
ssociation was founded, and golf was included in the Physical Education (PE) curriculum for sec
ondary schools. This led to a remarkable achievement when many students took golf as an electi
ve for the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams, with numerous students ac
hieving high grades.

Today, golf is gaining traction as a popular sport in Guyana, with efforts to expand its reach to m
ore schools and communities. The sport is being introduced to younger generations, and there are
more opportunities for children to learn and play golf. Several golf clubs and driving ranges have
also been established, providing more venues for golf enthusiasts to practice and enjoy the game.
The growth of golf in Guyana has also led to the emergence of notable golfers who have represe
nted the country in regional and international tournaments. These golfers have become ambassad
ors for the sport, inspiring others to take up the game and showcasing the potential of Guyanese
golfers on the global stage.

Field Of Play

Field play in golf, or the act of navigating a golf course, is a fascinating aspect of the sport that c

ombines strategy, skill, and the joy of being outdoors. The field, or course, is the stage upon whic

10
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

h golfers perform, and each course is a unique blend of natural and man-made features designed t

o challenge and delight players.

A typical golf course consists of 18 holes, each with its own distinct characteristics. The layout o

f these holes includes the teeing ground, where the game begins, the fairway, the main area leadi

ng to the hole, and the green, where the hole is located. The fairway is usually a well-maintained

grassy area, providing the optimal path to the hole. However, players must also navigate various

hazards, such as sand bunkers and water bodies, which are strategically placed to add complexity

to the game.

The design of a golf course can vary significantly based on its location. For example, a links cour

se, commonly found in coastal regions, features sandy soil, dunes, and few trees. These courses a

re often shaped by the natural landscape, with wind playing a crucial role in the game's difficulty

. Conversely, parkland courses, typically located inland, have lush, tree-lined fairways and manic

ured greens, providing a different set of challenges.

Playing golf involves more than just hitting the ball towards the hole; it requires a deep understan

ding of the course's layout, the conditions of the day, and the player's own abilities. Golfers must

make strategic decisions about which clubs to use, how to navigate hazards, and how to adapt to

varying weather conditions. This combination of mental and physical skills makes golf a unique

and engaging sport.

In Guyana, the development of golf courses has been influenced by the country's diverse landsca

pes. Courses here may feature a mix of tropical elements, including lush vegetation and natural

water hazards, creating a picturesque setting for the game. As golf continues to grow in popularit

11
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

y, more courses are being developed, offering local players and visitors alike the chance to exper

ience the beauty and challenges of golfing in Guyana.

Equipment Used For Playing Golf

Golf equipment covers a range of essentials, each designed to enhance your game:

1. Golf Clubs: A standard set includes several types of clubs, each with a specific purpose. Dri

vers are used for long-distance shots off the tee, fairway woods provide more control for long

12
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

shots, irons are versatile for various distances and lies, wedges are designed for short shots an

d navigating sand traps, and a putter is used for precision strokes on the green. Each club is e

ngineered to help you achieve specific shots, making the set essential for any golfer.

2. Golf Balls: These small, dimpled balls are designed for durability and optimal flight. The di

mples help reduce air resistance and allow the ball to fly farther and more accurately. Choosi

ng the right ball can greatly impact your performance, as different balls offer varying levels o

f spin and control.

3. Golf Bag: This is used to carry your clubs and other gear. Golf bags come in various styles, i

ncluding carry bags for those who prefer walking the course, cart bags for use with a golf cart

, and staff bags used by professional golfers. A well-organized bag ensures you have easy acc

ess to your clubs and accessories throughout your round.

4. Tees: Small pegs that elevate the ball slightly off the ground for the initial drive from the tee

box. Tees come in different heights to accommodate different clubs and shot preferences, pro

viding a consistent and controlled setup for your drive.

5. Golf Shoes: Special shoes designed with spikes or spikeless soles to provide grip and stabilit

y on various terrains. Good golf shoes can help you maintain balance and posture throughout

your swing, which is crucial for effective shots.

6. Gloves: Typically worn on the lead hand (left hand for right-handed players) to enhance grip

and prevent blisters. A good golf glove ensures you have a firm, secure grip on the club, redu

cing the chance of slipping during your swing.

13
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

7. Clothing: Includes comfortable, weather-appropriate attire such as polo shirts, golf trousers o

r shorts, hats, and sometimes outerwear like windbreakers or rain jackets. Proper golf attire n

ot only looks professional but also ensures you remain comfortable throughout your game.

8. Rangefinders: Devices used to measure distances to the target, helping with club selection a

nd shot planning. Rangefinders can be a game-changer by providing accurate yardage, enabli

ng you to make more informed decisions on the course.

9. Ball Markers: Small, flat objects used to mark the position of the ball on the green, ensuring

you can pick up and clean your ball without losing its spot. Ball markers are essential for mai

ntaining the fairness and flow of play on the green.

10. Divot Repair Tool:

A divot repair tool is used to fix marks on the green caused by the ball landing. Properly repairin

g divots helps maintain the quality of the green, ensuring a smooth putting surface for all players.

Using a divot repair tool demonstrates respect for the course and other golfers, contributing to th

e overall enjoyment of the game.

Rules Of Golf

Standard Rules
The Game

● Objective: The primary goal is to play a ball from the teeing ground into the hole in as fe

w strokes as possible. Golf is played on a course that typically consists of 18 holes, each

with its own unique layout and challenges.

Equipment

14
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

● Golf Clubs: Players are allowed to carry a maximum of 14 clubs in their bag during a rou

nd. These clubs can include a mix of drivers, fairway woods, irons, wedges, and putters.

Each club is designed for different types of shots and distances.

● Golf Ball: The ball used in playing must conform to the regulations set forth by the gover

ning bodies of golf. It is designed to be durable and aerodynamic, with a standard diamet

er of 1.68 inches and a weight of no more than 1.62 ounces.

Starting Play

● Teeing Ground: Each hole starts from a designated area known as the teeing ground. Pla

yers must tee their ball within the confines of this area. The ball must be placed on a tee,

which elevates it slightly off the ground for the initial drive.

During Play

● Stroke: A stroke is defined as the forward movement of the club made with the intention

of striking the ball. Each time a player swings at the ball, it counts as a stroke, whether co

ntact is made or not.

● Order of Play: The player with the lowest score on the previous hole typically tees off fir

st on the next hole. This is known as having the "honor." If there is a tie, the order from t

he previous hole is maintained.

Ball Movement

15
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

● Fairway and Rough: The ball should be played as it lies. This means players cannot mo

ve the ball or alter its position unless the rules specifically allow for it, such as in the case

of a local rule or a free drop.

● Green: When the ball is on the green, players are allowed to mark, lift, clean, and replace

the ball. This is done by placing a small marker behind the ball before lifting it.

Hazards

● Bunkers: These are sand-filled pits designed to challenge players. When the ball lands in

a bunker, players must not touch the sand with their club before making the stroke. This i

ncludes not grounding the club or moving loose impediments in the sand.

● Water Hazards: If a ball lands in a water hazard, players have several options. They can

attempt to play the ball as it lies (if possible) or take a penalty stroke and drop a new ball

outside the hazard within designated relief areas.

Penalties

● Stroke Penalties: Penalties are added for various rule infractions, such as hitting into a w

ater hazard, taking an unplayable lie, or committing other breaches of the rules. Common

penalties include stroke-and-distance penalties for lost or out-of-bounds balls.

● Out of Bounds: When a ball is hit out of bounds, the player must take a stroke-and-

distance penalty. This means the player adds one penalty stroke and plays another ball fro

m the spot where the original ball was last played.

Putting

16
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

● Green Etiquette: Proper etiquette is essential on the green. Players should avoid steppin

g on another player's putting line, repair any pitch marks made by the ball landing on the

green, and ensure they do not damage the green surface with their equipment.

● Holed: A ball is considered holed when it rests within the circumference of the hole and a

ll of it is below the level of the lip. This marks the completion of a hole.

Finishing the Hole

● Holed Out: The hole is complete when a player successfully puts their ball into the hole.

The total number of strokes taken to complete the hole is recorded on the scorecard.

Additional Rules

● Relief Situations: There are several situations where players are allowed to take relief, ei

ther without penalty or with a penalty. These include free relief from abnormal ground co

nditions, such as ground under repair, casual water, and obstructions.

● Match Play vs. Stroke Play: Golf can be played in different formats. In match play, play

ers compete directly against each other hole-by-hole. In stroke play, the total number of st

rokes taken over the round determines the winner.

Governing Bodies

● The R&A and USGA: The rules of golf are maintained and updated by The Royal and A

ncient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A) and the United States Golf Association (USGA).

These organizations work together to ensure the rules are consistent worldwide.

17
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

Local Rules
Course Boundaries

● Out-of-Bounds: Areas that are out-of-bounds are typically marked by white stakes or fen

ces. If a player's ball crosses these boundaries, it is considered out of play, and the player

must take a stroke-and-distance penalty. This means they add one penalty stroke to their s

core and play their next shot from where the original ball was last played. This rule ensur

es that players remain within the designated playing area, maintaining the integrity of the

course.

2. Ground Under Repair

● Relief Areas: Sections of the course under maintenance are marked as ground under repa

ir. If a player's ball lands in these areas, they are allowed to take free relief by dropping th

18
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

e ball within one club length of the nearest point of relief, no nearer to the hole. This rule

helps preserve the course's condition and provides fairness to players who encounter thes

e temporary obstacles.

3. Water Hazards

● Identifying Hazards: Water hazards are marked with yellow stakes or lines, while lateral

water hazards are marked with red stakes or lines. Players whose balls land in these hazar

ds have several options: they can attempt to play the ball as it lies or take a one-

stroke penalty and drop a new ball outside the hazard. This rule ensures consistency in ho

w players handle water hazards and maintains the pace of play.

4. Preferred Lies

● Improving Lies: In certain conditions, such as wet or muddy courses, preferred lies (also

known as "winter rules") may be in place. This allows players to lift, clean, and place thei

r ball within a specified distance (usually six inches to a club length) of its original spot, n

o nearer to the hole. This rule helps players deal with challenging conditions and maintai

n fair play.

5. Drop Zones

● Relief Options: Drop zones are designated areas where players can drop a ball if they inc

ur a penalty and cannot or prefer not to play from the original spot. These zones are often

19
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

located near water hazards or other difficult terrains, providing a clear and fair alternative

for taking relief.

6. Obstructions

● Temporary and Permanent: Temporary obstructions, such as maintenance equipment o

r signage, can interfere with play. If they do, players are allowed free relief by dropping t

he ball within one club length of the nearest point of relief, no nearer to the hole. Perman

ent obstructions, like cart paths, also allow for free relief under similar conditions. This ru

le ensures that players are not unfairly penalized by obstacles that are part of the course in

frastructure.

7. Animal Interference

● Local Wildlife: Courses in certain regions may have local rules addressing interactions w

ith wildlife. For example, if a ball lands in an anthill or a burrowing animal's hole, players

may be allowed to take free relief. This rule protects both the course and the players, ensu

ring a safe and enjoyable game.

8. Bunker Conditions

● Bunker Relief: Specific rules may apply to bunkers, particularly if they are waterlogged

or under repair. Players might be allowed to take relief outside the bunker with a penalty

or drop the ball within the bunker in a dry area. This rule helps maintain the fairness of pl

ay under adverse conditions.

9. Embedded Ball

20
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

● Free Relief for Embedded Balls: If a ball is embedded in its own pitch mark in the fairw

ay or rough, players are usually allowed to lift, clean, and drop the ball without penalty. T

his rule ensures that players are not unfairly penalized by challenging ground conditions a

nd can play their best game.

10. Pace of Play

● Ensuring Smooth Play: Local rules often include guidelines to maintain a reasonable pa

ce of play. This can include limiting the time allowed to search for a lost ball (typically th

ree minutes) or suggesting a maximum time per hole to keep the game moving efficiently

. These rules help maintain the flow of the game and ensure that all players have an enjoy

able experience.

Role in the Golf competition: Field Stewart

Reason for choosing role: I decided to become a Field Stewart because I wanted to play a key

part in making sure everyone has a positive experience on the golf course, keeping the pace of

play moving smoothly is important to be because I know how frustrating it can be when things

drag on for a while, so if I can help in ensuring that everything goes as smoothly as possible, it

would help me feel successful in this specific field.

Responsibilities

In a golf competition, the role of a Field Steward (also sometimes called a course marshal or

tournament marshal) is essential for maintaining the smooth operation and integrity of the event.

Field stewards are responsible for overseeing the flow of play, ensuring players adhere to the

rules, and managing any on-course issues that arise. Their primary responsibilities include:

1. Ensuring Pace of Play.

23
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

- Field stewards monitor the pace of play to make sure that groups are not falling behind the

prescribed schedule. They may intervene if a group is playing too slowly, offering reminders to

speed up or directing them to move forward if necessary.

2. Enforcing Tournament Rules.

- They help ensure that players follow the rules of the competition, both in terms of course

regulations (e.g., staying within boundaries, using designated areas) and the overall tournament

regulations.

- They may assist in the enforcement of local rules or specific rules related to the tournament,

such as allowing for drop zones or managing unplayable lies.

3. Assisting with Player Etiquette.

- Field stewards help maintain the expected standard of behavior on the course. This can

include managing noise levels, ensuring players respect each other's space, and addressing any

etiquette violations.

4. Providing Information.

- They serve as a point of contact for players, offering information about course conditions,

tournament schedules, and logistical concerns (e.g., where to find food, restrooms, or specific

hole locations).

- Stewards are also responsible for notifying players of weather delays or other unexpected

changes during the tournament.

24
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

5. Managing Safety.

- They ensure that all safety protocols are followed, including dealing with any emergency

situations. This might involve coordinating with medical staff if a player or spectator is injured

or requiring attention.

6. Monitoring Spectators.

- Field stewards help manage the crowd, ensuring that spectators stay in designated areas,

maintain proper behavior, and do not interfere with play. This is particularly important in

professional tournaments where large crowds are present.

7. Assisting with Course Maintenance.

- They may work closely with the ground crew to ensure the course is in optimal condition,

particularly if there are any issues such as weather-related damage or disruptions. They might

also help in marking areas of the course or guiding players in the event of course changes.

8. Handling Disputes or Violations.

- If a player has a dispute with another player or a situation arises where the rules are in

question, the field steward may act as a mediator, help resolve the situation or escalate the matter

to a higher authority (such as a tournament referee or official).

9. Supervising Start and Finish.

- Field stewards often assist with the start and finish of each round, ensuring that players are

Reflections

Overall Reflection

This Golf Competition has been a long and difficult experience for me as well as my team, but
by working together, we managed to overcome all obstacles that would have stood in our way.
Throughout this journey, I have been doing my role as a Stewart with the utmost care and
compassion towards my team. It taught me how to care for others and it showed me how
important my role was even if I wasn’t doing anything as major like some of the other roles were
doing. I learnt to understand that regardless of what everyone’s roles were, we were all still
contributing to the successful execution of the Golf Competition.

During the Golf Competition, everyone involved all agreed to put their differences aside and
work together and support each other so as to complete our School Based Assessment. We still
had some difficulties, but we managed to get through it with hard work and determination. A lot
of occurrences during the competition were unexpected but there was nothing we could do but
adapt and find solutions as we went along. Our collective effort and resilience helped us navigate
those unforeseen circumstances. In the future, my team and I plan to enhance our teamwork
skills as well as our problem-solving skills and communication skills so that we do not find
ourselves facing the challenges we faced during this competition again.

Teamwork Reflection

Organizing and executing the golf competition required the collective effort of all the
participating students. Teamwork was essential at every step, enabling effective planning,
coordination, and resource management. This collaborative effort allowed us to tackle challenges
head-on and achieve our goals. Some students, however, found it challenging to work in a team
since they were accustomed to working alone to ensure everything was perfect. Despite some
minor misunderstandings, they made significant efforts to cooperate, and we successfully carried
out the competition together. Each member brought their strengths to the roles they were
assigned, ensuring every aspect of the event was covered. On the day of the competition, a few
students were absent, and those present had to step up, multitask, and fill in for their peers. This
showcased their resilience and dedication. House captains played a crucial role in motivating
their players, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie.

This experience highlighted that teamwork isn't just about dividing tasks but also about
supporting one another and staying focused on common goals. It emphasized the importance of
working together, not just to share the workload but also to provide mutual support,
encouragement, and inspiration. The experience reinforced the idea that achieving a common
objective often requires collaboration, where individual strengths are harnessed to create a
cohesive and effective team. In the end, the students' collective effort was pivotal to the
successful completion of the golf competition. This experience ingrained the value of teamwork
in all participants, proving that working together can overcome challenges and achieve shared
goals more efficiently and effectively than working alone. Through this event, the importance of

33
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

teamwork was not only demonstrated but deeply understood, making it a valuable lesson for
future endeavors.

Personal Reflection

As I think back on my experience with the golf tournament and everything I've learned about the
subsequent operation, the greatest lesson learned was the collaborative effort. This was a great
endeavor for me because we all learned a lot from each other's efforts and collaborative efforts to
help one another. I'm not typically someone who thrives on group endeavors because I know
what I need to do, when I need to do it, and how to do it correctly and efficiently for my personal
timeline. However, this was a great endeavor that forced me to get out of my comfort zone and
engage in the world of appreciating collaborative efforts. For example, during the planning
stages, we all realized that, while everyone would have their strengths and weaknesses, it would
be required that we all work through the nitty-gritty of planning. Therefore, not only was it a
given that no job would go uncompleted and no stone would be left unturned, but a collaborative
effort would ensure that a diverse array of skills and perspectives might be contributed to what's
ultimately the plan. If there was one theme that developed throughout the day of the tournament,
it was teamwork. Several of the pre-registered players for the day could not show up. Yet
honestly, everyone present seemed to possess a flexible, resilient energy that allowed them to
take on much more responsibility. Honestly, don't tell anyone, but I was surprised at how much
extra work I was doing because positions shifted and everyone else volunteered for more, yet
their upbeat, supportive energy had games running on time with no issues. I had never seen such
inspired house captains who rallied their teams to cheer for their opponents, creating a familial
bond and acknowledging sentiments like it's all about the game and not just the victory. There

34
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

was a time or two when games had to be adjusted, and players easily, amicably, and quickly
shifted gears without incident. It was effective problem solving and flexible teamwork. We all
had the same goal in mind, and while it fueled the understanding beyond this fleeting day,
teamwork meant being aware of how we all were feeling and getting up when another person
required assistance but also keeping in mind the greater good for all. From this golf tournament, I
learned that no matter the end result, teamwork always wins.

Recommendations

When organizing a golf competition, thorough planning is essential. Based on our recent event,
here are some improvements that could enhance future competitions:

1. Communicate Rules Clearly: Make sure both players and spectators are well-informed
about the rules and instructions before the event. Some people were unaware of the
competition rules, leading to confusion. For example, spectators walked onto the field
during play, and extra players showed up for some houses despite a 10-player limit.

2. Prepare the Playing Field: Use a suitable venue for the competition. Our school's
compound wasn't adequately prepared, which hindered players' performance as the field
conditions were suboptimal.

3. Pre-arrange Participants: Ensure players are secured well in advance. In our case,
house captains began recruiting players on the competition day, which resulted in some
teams being short-staffed and losing potential points.

4. Include Practice Sessions: Organize practice sessions before the event begins. This
would help players familiarize themselves with the course and improve their
performance. A brief practice run could have significantly benefited the participants.

5. Designate Focused Officials: Ensure that directors and secretaries remain dedicated to
their roles throughout the event. During our competition, they were often absent from
their posts, which affected the smooth running of the event.

35
Test Code: 01252090 Candidate Number: 0900020105

These adjustments could make future golf competitions more organized and efficient, ultimately
leading to a better experience for everyone involved.

Conclusion

The golf competition was a transformative experience for all involved, showcasing the
importance of teamwork, adaptability, and effective planning. Despite facing challenges like
miscommunication, absentee participants, and suboptimal field conditions, the collective effort
and resilience of the team ensured the event's success.

Key lessons learned include the significance of collaboration, problem-solving, and mutual
support in achieving shared goals.

Recommendations such as improved communication, better preparation, and designated roles

highlight areas for growth to enhance future competitions. Ultimately, the event reinforced the
value of teamwork and provided valuable insights for organizing more efficient and enjoyable
activities in the future.
