                 Through out the film " The short game" by Josh Greenboum elite golfers who are 8 and younger from all over the world come play golf in a world championship. Some of the best golfers who are eight years old and younger come to play from around the world to prove their dominance in a friendly tournament. A lot of these kids dedicate their most of their childhood to the game they love. For example a seven year old golfer by the name of Allan Kornankova Was one of the elite young golfers going into the tournament and ended up winning it all. During the movie when the interviewer asked him if Allan thought as if he was sacrificing his child hood. His response was that he wasn't sacrificing his child hood and that golf was his child hood he loved it so much. I think that him saying that describes how much hard work and dedication he put in to the sport and how much he likes it. Through out the film " The short game" by Josh greenboum explains that even young kids can have a love for a sport like anyone else.

                  I think that through the film " the short game" by josh greenboum I think that its the kids choice weather or not they want to dedicate most of their time to get good at the sport they love. At anytime they could say they don't want to do it anymore its their decision not the parents . Their so young that even if they decide to take a break from the sport  they have their whole life ahead of them to get back in the groove. again. An  example is Amari Avery , she was the leader and then she had a bad day on the green and started crying. Right there she could have said she was done I want to quit but it was her decision to keep going and eventually win the tournament. That's why I think its the kids decision to put themselves through what they did.




                 
                    In  the documentary " The short game" by Josh Greenboum he shows how young kids can be dedicated to a sport at a young age.  The author first shows dedication by the interviews at the beginning on what kids had to do to get where they are, he then explains the hard work by showing short clips of the kids making difficult shots on the green. To conclude Josh Greenboum finishes the documentary by showing the result of the tournament. His purpose is to explain that kids can be dedicated to a sport as young kids. He seems to have a young athletic audience.
