<p>Hi everyone: </p>
<p>Is it okay to write about golf as being a fun activity? (2nd prompt) I play on my school's varsity golf team so I don't want it to seem like I have no life outside of school related stuff.</p>
<p>If you really like golf go ahead. You’ve accomplished being apart of the varsity golf team. But make sure it’s something you really enjoy and that can really tell what kind of person you are instead of you plainly saying you like golf, that only expresses an interest, not you.</p>
<p>(maybe you practice golf outside of school?) Anything that relates to your golf activities that you participate in, I’d recommend that you mention or try.</p>
<p>I think it can be a good topic, as long as you show some spark. Pomona wants to know what makes you tick, and what kind of writer you are. Maybe pick an aspect of golf that most people wouldn’t think is compelling, and explain why. The juxtaposition of the up and down aspects of the mental game could make a great essay (if you’re like me and there are lots of “downs” offset by that rare and breath-taking “up”.)</p>
<p>I think it’s a good idea, but because Pomona does look for an activity not related to extracurriculars or academics, try to make it clear that it really is FUN for you.</p>
<p>^^ good point. I assume OP started playing golf before it became a school activity, so hopefully he can write about some aspect other than “varsity golf team.”</p>
