VOCAB
Derriere (53) - the buttocks, rump.
Hailed (48) - to pour down or forth.
APPEALS
1. "Something important happened in the final match at Penn State that, in retrospect, would become another so-called signature of my game[...]" (45). This is an emotional appealing appealing to the reader's curiosity. We all want to know - What happened?
2. "I learned alot from watching Steve play golf. But I also learned a lot from watching what happened to Steve Kovach as the result of his success" (43). This is a logical appeal to the reader. It introduces lessons that Arnold will learn and take with him throughout his golfing career.
3. "I'd never been south of the Pennsylvania state line, but there was no question which direction I was headed" (49). This is an emotional appeal to the reader, you are excited for him that he is finally going places, and a logical appeal because you want to know which places he is going.
QUOTE
"The highlight of my freshman year, just about the time Johnny Johnston returned from the U.S. Air Force, was beating Harvie Ward and Art Wall at Pinehurst Number 2 to win the Southern Conference championship" (54). Arnold goes on to explain that this was a huge upset becuase Harvie Ward was the favorite to win, and all of a sudden Arnold comes out of nowhere to win the title. It was the event that got him noticed as a big time golfer.
THEME
Perseverance will get you to where ever it is that you want to go, so try, try, and try again.

Monika! I like how you chose a book that you can relate to! I'm not really into golf but it sounds like a good book! This is really random but I was just wondering if this is the guy that the drink was named after?
