Golf Conversation #5: Making Contact With The Ball

Student: I did everything you asked me to do and the golf ball is still sitting there. Why did I miss hitting it?

Golf Guy: You did a great job with your first swing. The attempt at hitting the ball was perfect.

Student: But... the ball is still there. How could my attempt be perfect?

Golf Guy: Let's try another swing. This time concentrate on getting the golf ball in the way of that perfect swing you had last time.

Student: I hit the ball!

Golf Guy: How did that feel?

Student: What a great feeling that was! How come the ball only went a little way out there on the grass?

Golf Guy: Tiger Woods did not hit the golf ball 300 yards the first time he swung a club. Golf takes patience and commitment.

I like the dialogue. And learners here could use some help with sports English. Actually, I encourage learners to write dialogues to practise their spoken English - please look at my page: http://my.englishclub.com/profiles/blogs/write-a-dialogue-to-improve

Maybe I should write a series of dialogue on badminton. Badminton can be tricky too.

Good point! Golf seems a lot like learning English!
