My Beat Story

            My beat is Avila Golf team. I choose it because I started to paly golf when I was 11 years old now I am 24 years so I have played 13 years. And I am living with my friends who paly golf at Avila golf team. There are seven golf players at Avila golf team. I am going to sequentially introduce them, Logan Burks, Tommy Edwards, Jackson Gurley, Gunnar Kodas, Taylor Livigston, John Schwarzel and, Nic Smith. I interviewed three of them who are Gunnar, John and, Nic. I asked all of them about “When did you start playing golf?” and, “Why did you start playing golf?”

First of all, I interviewed Gunnar Kodas. He is the caption of the men’s golf team.

“When I interviewed Gunnar Kodas.”

He started playing golf when he was three years old. His dad gave him golf club and he just likes playing golf that is why he plays golf.

Next, I interviewed Nic Smith. He started playing golf when he was four years old and golf is family sports for him that is why he still plays golf. He was also really young when he started play golf.

“When I interviewed Nic Smith.”

Last person is John Schwarzel. I interviewed him and I asked him about their coach Chad Habluetzel. John said “Coach Habluetzel has played on the PGA Tour, written three golf-related teaching books, and currently works full-time as Avila's Men & Women's Golf coach. Chad Habluetzel is a very respectful, straightforward person who focuses on each individual separately, personalizing each player's practice day to their own needs.”

They started playing when they were really young so that is why they are good at playing golf.
