I am a Golf Ball

    I am a golf ball. I am a famous brand called Titleist. I am

round and bouncy. I am white in color. I have hole patterns

around my body. I am small in size but heavy. I was made in a

factory at Florida.

   I had been made in a day. In the factory, I met many friends. Their names are Ping, Taylor Made, Addidas, Bridgestone, Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Footjoy, Greg Norman, Mizuno, Nike, Srixon, Ashworth and Dunlop. All my friends in the factory are golf balls. After the production, my friends and I were scheduled to be shipped to Malaysia to be sold. The journey took two weeks. During the journey, we sang songs and tell jokes to pass time.

            After two weeks, we reached our destination. We reached the port of Klang. We were then being transported to a sport outlet in Petaling Jaya, called Royal Sporting House. Sadly, my friends and I were being separated. They were sent to a sport shop in Shah Alam, while I was sent to a shop in Bandar Utama. My tears rolled down as I left my best friends forever.

            But, while I was in the shop, I met new friends like, football, baseball, tennis ball, basketball, and ping pong ball. Even though they were not the same kind like me, but were as friendly as my previous friends.  We spent time together in the shop.

            As time pass, my friends in the shop were being sold rapidly, but I was still not bought. One fine day, a young handsome guy came to the shop to buy sport utilities. While he glanced to find his requirements, he spotted me and came to me. He picked me up and took a look at me. After searching the whole store, he decided to purchase me. As soon as I was being purchased, I jumped happily and felt awesome.

 

            The young man brought me to his car. While I saw his car, I was shocked, he had a Ferrari sports car. He was a rich guy. We reached his house and he brought me into his house. Amazingly, his house was like a palace. It was huge. Later he brought me to his backyard and I could see a field of putting green. From the scene of the putting green, surely he is a golfer. He took me out and placed me on the ground and started practicing his golfing skills. After busy day, then he stop practicing and took me in.

            In his house he has a golf ball cleaning machine and I was being washed. At night, he polished me and placed me in his ball collection. After that, he would go to bed. Daily, I was being used by him. He used me from dawn to dusk. After a few months, I realized, his name was Luke Donald. He was a professional golf player. He is ranked number one in the whole world.

            After a few months of practice, it was the last competition of the year, the master’s golf competition. The day before the competition, he picked me as his ball for the competition. During the four days, I performed well and he entered the finals. During the finals, the opponent made mistakes, but he did not. With a powerful strike, I flew up in the air and landed on the green. I was rolling rapidly and I closed my eyes, as I was scared to look at the result. Luke was also worried, he thought he would lose the competition. Suddenly, I was rolling in the direction of the hole. In a split second, I heard screams and praises over the whole field. I opened my eyes and I found myself sitting in the bottom of the whole. I felt happy as I helped Luke to win the competition. He took me up and said ‘You are the best,’ His word touched my heart and encouraged me to continue to face more challenges.

            From that day onwards, I became his ‘best friend,’ and faced challenges together.
