Download or read book Who We Met on the Way to Stanford written by Richard P. Sinay and published by richardpsinay.com. This book was released on 2024-08-09 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 2000, my son began attending Stanford on a golf scholarship. It was a long and challenging road to achieve this goal. When he learned about the college, he went around the house with his Stanford sweatshirt and seldom took it off. After winning the San Diego Junior World Golf Championship, he was an accomplished junior golfer. Stanford's coach at the time was Wally Goodwin, an excellent, cheerful fellow who was also Tiger Woods's coach. Wally had seen the best golfers at Stanford, so he was a coach who knew what he wanted in a player. He started following my son after this victory at the San Diego tournament, and around the time, he received a letter asking Wally if he would come to watch him play golf. Wally did; he was there often to oversee this young man's development and golf. As a father, I took my son to many golf tournaments. He was a joy to watch and did well as a junior golfer through high school. He even had the accomplishment of replacing Tiger Woods' scoring record. Tiger’s best score for the high school championships in Southern California was 66, but my son managed to shoot a 65 in his junior year in high school against players from five hundred and eighty-six schools and other high schools. Many other delightful moments were watching my son play, and good times I will not forget. One day, while reading through some of my writings, I came across some notes my son had sent me about appealing the dismissal of his scholarship. Reading the notes almost seventeen years later was a revelation to me. I was unaware of the time frames at the time of the essence of this story, so I investigated the information further. What I discovered became the basis of this book. There were weeks of struggling with the time frames and difficulties understanding what happened in the struggle at Stanford. The book is my way of putting together what I discovered. What I found to be mostly true, but not having been there myself, I may not even know half the story. Nevertheless, this is my memoir of what it was like raising a kid with extraordinary talent playing golf and what happened when he arrived at Standford to fulfill his obligation for the scholarship he received.

Download or read book The Quest for an Appropriate Past in Literature Art and Architecture written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the various strategies by which appropriate pasts were construed in scholarship, literature, art, and architecture in order to create “national”, regional, or local identities in late medieval and early modern Europe. Because authority was based on lineage, political and territorial claims were underpinned by historical arguments, either true or otherwise. Literature, scholarship, art, and architecture were pivotal media that were used to give evidence of the impressive old lineage of states, regions, or families. These claims were related not only to classical antiquity but also to other periods that were regarded as antiquities, such as the Middle Ages, especially the chivalric age. The authors of this volume analyse these intriguing early modern constructions of “antiquity” and investigate the ways in which they were applied in political, intellectual and artistic contexts in the period of 1400–1700. Contributors include: Barbara Arciszewska, Bianca De Divitiis, Karl Enenkel, Hubertus Günther, Thomas Haye, Harald Hendrix, Stephan Hoppe, Marc Laureys, Frédérique Lemerle, Coen Maas, Anne-Françoise Morel, Kristoffer Neville, Konrad Ottenheym, Yves Pauwels, Christian Peters, Christoph Pieper, David Rijser, Bernd Roling, Nuno Senos, Paul Smith, Pieter Vlaardingerbroek, and Matthew Walker.
