dcecilgolf 11 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 [ QUOTE ] golfs not a sport [/ QUOTE ] Golf is the hardest competition. If you do not believe me, then go try to play it. Golf takes the most hand-eye coordination, patience, and mental capacity; which apparently you lack in all three categories if you think golf is not a sport.

dcecilgolf 11 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 From my experience at the Middle School with Coach Rasnick, I can honestly say he was not a bad coach. His strategy, play-calling, etc was fine; but the one area which cost him was the discipline. He was never able to control the players. If he told us to run, only half would actually run; practice was a mess, etc. He also did not know how to bench players who disobeyed his orders. He suffered mainly from undisciplined players, but that may have been partly his fault; but disciplining players is the area where Walker excels, so this season may be exciting.

KTom33 10 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 this is the basketball posts so talk about golf on the golf one, oh wait there aint one lol its under "other high school sports" but that just shows how much ppl care about golf... but anyways coach walker doesnt have a problem with disciplining people, trust me if u miss a shot he pulls you out, if you make a turnover he pulls you out, even if you score 10pts under 2 mins he pulls you out, ask anyone at graham about that where he coached jv and they will agree... but as far as play callin goes hes not the brightest, wed come up the floor and hes sayin "run kentucky, run kentucky" every time we came up the floor, i mean really you think the other team catches on to the "kentucky" play when you run it 7 times in a row, and theyve stopped it almost everytime but the first time we ran it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdiddy 10 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Tazewell is going to be a great team this year. There is lots of talent and a great coach. Rasnick had no clue what he was doing with a high school team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90bhsgrad 10 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 What about Grandview Country Club in Beaver, its prett wide open and the signature whole is a par 3 with about a 60 foot drop from tee to green and a 40 or 50 feet drop off behind it as well. Not quite as nice as Fountain Springs but still a fun place to go play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
