Family Golfer

My youngest has taken up an odd sport, golf of all things. He has been doing summer clinics for the past three years and is on the middle school 7th grade Golf Team.

Their first tournament was last week and he shot a 69. Today was their tournament played just down the street from the house and he shot a 66 which placed him third on their team. He was only 2 & 3 shots behind the teams top two members.

He's pretty pumped about the results but I had to let him know I've shot 64 before and was pretty proud of it. That's when he asked what I had on the second hole? The little fart is getting to big for his britches, the 64 was after the third hole.

LOL. I need to swap my golf score and my bowing score!

Congratualtions to your son. I hope he stays with it and keeps on improving.

This is always a great number for a youngster to get

Golf can work out to be one very expensive sport that is for sure but good on him for taking it up

I TOTALLY suck at golf and I therefore hate the sport.....LOL!

I mean....... I am REALLY bad at it.

It's actually weird because I've played hockey all my life and hockey players are normally pretty decent golfers.

My Son however is good at it. When my Son was young and needed an adult to go out on the course, I'd take him and try to play. I have the unique distinction of hitting the ball STRAIGHT UP about 400 feet in the air and it landing like two inches from the tee.

I don't have the time nor the patience for golf. It is like watching grass grow. I'd rather be riding or kayaking or reading...

I agree....it seems boring to me and there's no contact involved...LOL!

My Dad used to question why of all the sports that involve using a ball, golf has the smallest ball, yet it's played on the largest area.

It's been a while but I used to play with my dad every Friday.

I've found that treating it like a walk in the park with nature all about sweetens the poor play experience. lol

I think that is the right approach, G.
