1) I landed on my topic (the complexity of the game of golf) because it is something that I definitely have interest in and am very passionate about. I was led to this train of thought because of a past speech that talked about golf almost like it was a simple, easy sport.
2) Soothing that I have done in the past and will continue to do is ask my mom for a good topic. She probably knows me better than anyone so she is a great person to ask for topic ideas.
