A Little Bragging!

As you all know, my son LOVES to play golf!! Usually we will take him to the park to hit balls, or if he uses soft balls, he can play in the house. When Ron's mom comes into town, she will generally take him somewhere so he can play and occasionally to Riverlakes to the driving range. They also have a little par 3 course that he can play that makes him feel like he's on a real golf course. (It's the same one he played at for his tournament he played in a couple years ago.) Anyway, Ron's mom has been in town waiting for the baby to be born and has taken turns with each kid to spend the day/night with her. Michael spent the night Friday night, so Saturday, she took him to Riverlakes to play the little course, however it was occupied with the Jr Golf Acadamy so they settled for the driving range and putting green. When they were ready to leave, she went over to the little course and was talking to a lady to get some information about the academy and explained that he was 4, but was pretty good. The lady told her that the kids needed to be 6 to sign up. Well, the coach overheard the conversation and asked if Michael was with her. She said yes, so he told her to have him hit a few balls so he could see how he played. So she got him out of the car, got his clubs and he went over to tee up the ball. He hits the ball and knocks it onto the green!! He does this consistantly for about 4 shots and the coach was impressed! He said that Michael was better than some of his 6 year olds and if we were willing, he would let us sign him up now! I'm so proud of my little boy! Now we just have to see if we can fit it in our budget! I also want to sign Emma up for dance, so we're going to have to do some crunching!
