Dad and I started our round in grand fashion. Dad was hitting the fairways and short game while I brought my putter. First hole was a par 5 and dad got us on in three. I stepped up and drilled a 30-foot put for birdie. Second hole was a par four and again, dad got us on in two, this time with a 25-foot putt for birdie, which I buried for another birdie. Third hole, dad set us up with a par putt from about eight feet, which, again, I drained. Three putts and three bottom of the cups. After that, it was all down hill, both in terms of our games and the weather. It was fun while it lasted, though!
My son on the practice green for the first time. It was his first ever trip to a golf course and the first time he’s putted on a real green.

Packing water bottles for our golf tournament company outing. Looking forward to a fun night tonight with my coworkers and a full day of sweet shots on the course tomorrow!
I scored two of these. You may be jealous.
This was the only swing dad shot of me through 18 holes - thankfully it was one of the good ones. A par three and I put it right on the green. Not bad considering I haven’t played in about a year.
