Tiger Woods can sleep easy tonight. He has nothing to worry about.
We took Kaitlyn for her first golf game today. Well, mini golf.
She loved the idea of holding a big club. And swinging at the ball.
At the first hole, she actually let Bill play and then let me take a turn when she was done. The idea of a game disolved quickly from there. Pretty soon, we were just chasing Kaitlyn around as she randomly went from hole to hole. She wasn’t bothered by the fact that she may swat two dozen times at the ball before it would finally drop into the hole. Or if the hole was too challenging… maybe had a big hill or a small hole you had to get the ball into on its way to its final destination… she would just roll it over or drop it in with her hands.
She thought it was great. She threw her arms up in the air and cheered when the ball went in the hole. Even if she’d just plopped it in there.
I think we’ll wait a while before we try that one again.
That’s exactly how it went at my first game of golf. Swatted at the ball countless of times, then would pick it up and drop it in the hole, then cheer. Folks thought cheering was a bit much for a 30-year-old, but I didn’t care. I made the ball go into the hole, and I thought that was the point.
I was going to make mention that she’s obviously been blessed with your amazing golfing skills.. but her game didn’t include a gin and tonic or a golf cart.
