POST #4 - golf

1. 
   
   Identify an influence

A factor that had an influence on my participation was …
My back injury

2. Describe the effect of that influence on participation  (Think about feels like, sounds like looks like)

This factor had a negative influence on my participation because it caused me to not be able to participate in the activity. I was really disappointed that I couldn't play because whilst I was watching it looked like lots of fun. I felt annoyed that my back hurt too much due to the swing of the club and it sounded bored when I was talking because I had nothing to do until it was time to pick up the balls. It looked like me standing still and not doing much but watching and encouraging my classmates.

3. Explain the effect of that influence on participation

I think this factor had such an influence on my participation because since I could not participate in the activity I wasn't really paying much attention as to what to do and I couldn't play at all which made me upset and frustrated. I would have really enjoyed golf if it didn't aggravate my back too much. I didn't get to actually play but in the last lesson when we played a round of golf I assisted Sophie and participated as a helper/onlooker.
