I practiced the value of honesty today during golf. Each person got two turns putting at each hole and when I was on my second turn, someone asked me how many turns I had taken. I really wanted another turn, but truthfully, I told him that I was on my second turn. - Sarah, 10 years old

Thank you for letting us go to the Tilden Golf Course, because it was really fun. I especially liked the driving range. It's really cool to see the ball shooting up like it has rockets, and then sailing back down like it has wings. This is the first time I have ever gone golfing, and it inspired me to go again. Many thanks. - Kobi, 9 years old

I practiced the value of honesty. Today we played golf at school. I started putting. Then each kid got two turns to hit twice. Then I hit a ball and missed the hole. Then Elvin asked me if that was my first or second time trying to hit the ball. And I honestly said that it was my second instead of lying, I was honest.

Always keeping a positive attitude on a golf course is one of the most important things to playing golf. You should always think positive in your shots. Also you should be respectful to others when they are playing golf with you. Finally you should be respectful around the wildlife on the golf course. You should also never shave strokes off of your scorecard, because you'll be cheating yourself and that is very untrustworthy. - Geoffrey Luoma, 12 years old

You must remember that golf is just a game, and a hard one at that, so if you mess up or hit a bad shot, keep your temper and maintain a good attitude. NEVER slam your club to the ground or start yelling at yourself; this will not only make yourself look bad but lower your own self esteem and performance as well. Also remember to keep yourself clean and presentable. Wear nice clothes, such as a collared shirt, nice shorts or pants, and golf or athletic shoes. Keep a positive attitude all the time. Remember that it is a good thing to ask for help. - Austin Thomas, 14 years old
