Hello everyone,
I am from Waterville, Ohio which is just 20 minutes north of Bowling Green. I came to BG as a Tcom majoring wanting to go into the radio business. I then thought about and changed majoring going into my Sophomore year. I have three younger brothers, one is a Sophomore at Ohio State.
This summer I worked at a golf course in near my hometown. I also had a job with Taylor Made Golf, where I was a tech rep. My job was to go to demo days around the area and show off the new products made my Taylor Made. This was an amazing job and looking forward to doing it again next summer.
I am in my junior year majoring in Sport Management. I grew up playing soccer, baseball and basketball. But as I grew older I stuck with baseball and then learned the game of golf at the age of 10. Throughout high school I played golf and baseball at the varsity level. During my junior and seniors years I was part of two league titles along with a sectional championship, district championship and a regional runner. During my senior year of golf my team won a few preseason tournaments and I was medalist runner up in one tournament shooting a round of 74.
The female athlete that I have seen and would continue to see is LPGA golfer Paula Creamer. She is one of the best female golfers on the tour and is a joy to watch play. Oh and she is a Taylor Made girl. As for the male athlete I will have to go with two, one being Tiger Woods my favorite golfer and speed demon Usain Bolt.
I love to follow college football (Ohio State) and college basketball (Duke) and the game of golf. College football gets exciting on week one and last all the way through the bowl season. The college basketball season really gets exciting when March comes rolling along.
I am also involved in the Bowling Green Radio Sports Organization. Being in that organization I have been able to produce Bowling Green basketball, baseball, hockey games and high school football and basketball games. Along with that I have gotten the opportunity to call many high school and BGSU Women basketball games over the airways along with having a radio show. So far the class has been very interesting, I was unsure what to expect on the first day of class. After leaving this class I hope to be able to tie gender and sport together.

Hi Tim,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your introduction and background in sports. I am surprised you could play both golf and baseball in High School, since those seasons were at the same time when I was in H.S. It sounds like you have found a great job, working for Taylor Made Golf. Do you still golf a lot? It stands to reason that you would also be a big fan of Paula Creamer if she is a "Taylor Made" golfer as well!
Thanks for sharing the Youtube of Usain Bolt and the link to Paula Creamer. I was also glad that you shared the link to the BG Radio Sports Organization. I noticed several other names from class on that link (i.e., Everitt Fitzhugh and Kevin McGraw). I will be interested to hear your perspective on the role of media in promoting gender and sport. I look forward to reading more of your entries.
Good start on your blog!

I like how you posted the video of Usain Bolt, he really is amazing. What do you think about him? Is he juicing? Is he natural? Until I hear otherwise, he's truely amazing at what he does. I can second your want to see Paula Creamer. However, you said you were a big Ohio State and Duke fan. I like Ohio State too, but you didn't mention BG...
ReplyDeleteAs for your job, thats pretty cool you were a tech rep for Taylor Made, I actually had a friend from home that did the same for Ping and it sounded very interesting. Good luck with that.
I like how you're from the same town and high school as me!!! Very cool job you had this summer?? Was it worth it?? How do you think the Buckeyes will do this year??
ReplyDeleteMcelust..
ReplyDeleteI know right being from the small hs.. Roommates weird. Summer job was fun and enjoyable. I believe the Buckeyes will make it back to a BCS bowl and win its 1..2..3..4..5..6 straight Big 10 Championship.
