CREATIVE WRITING COMPARE/CONTRAST Writing that explains ways in which two (or more) subjects are similar and different. In this lesson, compare means describing similarities between the subjects or what they have in common; and contrast means explaining ways in which they are different. June 18-21, 2020 marks the 52nd RBC Heritage event at the Harbour Town Golf Linkscourse in Hilton Head Island, SC. During that time, there have been an incredible number of past champions, including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Hale Irwin, Bernhard Langer, Johnny Miller, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Tom Watson and the late Payne Stewart, who have become enshrined in the World Golf Hall of Fame. In this lesson, we challenge you to choose two of the past winners of the RBC Heritage event, research them both and write for 15-20 minutes comparing/contrasting these players. 1. Once you have your players chosen, research them and and start some prewriting, which allows you to get some ideas and details down on paper before writing the paragraphs. a. A younger writer could organize their thoughts in two columns: Similar/Different. b. An older writer could use a Venn diagram to sort the information. i. A Venn diagram is an organizational tool formed by two overlapping circles that compare two subjects. Each circle represents one subject. Characteristics unique to each subject are written in the non-overlapping parts of the circle, while any similar characteristics are listed in the overlapping part.

Then move on to write about your subjects for 15-20 minutes. 3. Remember to start your writing with an opening sentence, telling whom you are comparing/contrasting.

PO Box 4306, Helena MT 59604-4306 (406) 458-3359 March 2016 - Volume 6, Issue 3 2016 Course Openings Abundant Nick Dietzen, MSGA Communications Director While the golf season begins in earnest April 1, the unseasonably balmy temperatures in February have players in many parts of the state dusting off their sticks and getting out on our beautiful courses. While the grass may not be as green, temperatures in the 50’s have softened the ground and a general lack of moisture at many courses has even brought about the use of carts for some. The optimist sees a nice long golf season ahead, the dream of golfers across the Big Sky. The pessimist cau- tions that this weather can’t maintain and April or May will put a damper on good golf weather. While we don’t have Punxsutawney Phil giving us a report on the golf season in Montana, many na- tional weather forecasts show above average temperatures slated for March-May. A few things to consider... Respect each courses policies on winter rules. If temporary greens are set up, don’t hit to the real greens. Your local superintendent will thank you! They have your best interests in mind and respectful play in March will make for good conditions during the summer. As always, repair your divots and enjoy the possibility that 2016 may be a nice long season in Montana. Helping main- tain the courses in the spring will keep conditions well during the prime weather we usually opine for when snow is on the ground this time of the year.

Sporting Legends: Seve Ballesteros
SPORTING LEGENDS: SEVE BALLESTEROS SPORT: GOLF COMPETITIVE ERA: 1974 - 2008 Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros (born 9 April 1957 in Pedreña, Spain) is a Spanish golfer who was one of the sport's leading figures in the 1980s and 1990s. Ballesteros turned professional in March 1974 at the age of 16. In 1976, he burst onto the international scene with a second-place finish in The Open Championship; he went on to win the European Tour Order of Merit (money title) that year, and repeated his Order of Merit win the following two years. He would go on to win the Order of Merit six times, a record at that time (since surpassed by Colin Montgomerie). Ballesteros went on to win five major championships: The Masters: 1980, 1983 His 1980 win was the first at Augusta by a European player. The Open Championship: 1979, 1984, 1988. He was also a great at match play; he won the World Match Play Championship five times, and was a mainstay of the European Ryder Cup team for much of the 1980s and 1990s. He scored 20 points out of 37 matches against the United States; his partnership with José María Olazábal was one of the most successful in the history of the competition, with 11 wins and two halved matches out of 15 pairs matches. While Ballesteros was a member of European sides that won the Ryder Cup in 1985, retained the Cup in 1987 and 1989, and regained the Cup in 1995, the pinnacle of his career in the competition came in 1997, when he captained the winning European side at Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, Spain.

GREG NORMAN Wednesday, December 10, 2014
PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: GREG NORMAN Wednesday, December 10, 2014 DAVE SENKO: Well, we would like to welcome our host, Greg Norman. Greg, this is 26 years for your event, 14 years in Naples. A couple changes this year. Maybe you could just get us started, talk about the new format, a little bit of a course change as well as Fox's debut as broadcasting golf. GREG NORMAN: Absolutely. First of all, I said it when we had the 25th anniversary last year that I never anticipated running this tournament for 25 years. Now we're into 26 and it seems like we're just getting better and better every year. There's been the golf course changes. Fortunately for us we had a 36-hole golf course to be able to work with. The agronomy department, we all know there was a disease got into the greens so we made the adjustments very, very quickly. Quite honestly, as far as I was concerned, I always wanted to use -- I'm going to get them all mixed up -- the black course in the beginning because I really thought it was a better golf course to play. So, you know, we made the adjustments very, very quickly. I think the players really like the new golf course, the layout of the golf course. So there really has been sort of a seamless transition, quite honestly. And the third one with Fox, extremely excited about it, I really am. There's a lot of things I've done in my life and there's a lot of opportunities I've had to do new things in life but this is one that I'm extremely excited about.
