Cade took his game pretty seriously. He watched intently as Bobby did his shots and then waited for instruction on which club he should use next.
It wasn't exactly a quiet round of golf......slightly distracting to have this threesome monkeying around in the background as you drive the ball. We're still working on the understanding that the course is similar to the library.....you must use your whisper voice even though it's outside.
Cade admires his shot.
I even got in on the action. I'd love to get the hang of golf but right now it nearly makes me lose my religion or stab my thigh with a divot remover. I'm working on golfing patience and after I master that I'll work on the skill part. I'm pretty sure I'll never get the skill until I get some golfing outfits. New sport means new sporty wardrobe, right?
Grant did well, bringing a pretty fluid swing to the course. I didn't catch an action shot of that but I did get this one and it was too cute not to add in. And also, it's a pic of the only tree on the course that did not get peed on by one of my offspring during our outing. Seriously.
After a couple of holes he decided that he could pretty much do without putting. The next weekend when we went he decided he was going to do ONLY putting. I think he dismisses whatever club is not cooperating with him.
Rhett is Mr. "I don't need nobody's help. I ALREADY know how to do it". Obviously he does based on the following picture....... club extremely high in the air, eyes focused nowhere near the location of the ball, and hips wide open. Yeah. Clearly he needs no instruction.
Oddly enough, he managed to hit it which did not help my cause of convincing him to let daddy help him.
We couldn't pass up throwing a couple rocks into the pond. I was standing nearby ready to tackle Rhett if he decided to chunk a club in the water. I definitely wouldn't put it past him. He's not one to be trusted, you know.
The boys are holding strong that golf is one of their favorite games to play. Based on our two experiences, I have a feeling we'll be spending more time on the course. In the meantime I'll be researching cute golfing outfits and I'll peruse ebay for a stylish bag with some clubs. Or, maybe I'll just stick to driving the cart and making sure the boys are inconspicuous in their tree marking. Someone's got to do it if we want to maintain our membership!

I love that they marked all the trees! Lots of that in my future although we Dodds hunt, not golf. There is NO "marking" allowed in hunting= major faux pas! Jon and I were watching golf Sunday when I told him if I ever played golf I'd do it right and go old school plaid. I'd love to see your new wardrobe include plaid :)
You might want to check out High School Musical 2. Sharpay has a cute little number she wears while playing golf. You could totally pull it off!!! :)
I'm with you - golf is totally not my thing. Steve tried to teach me once. As soon as I went to swing, he said, "Why are you lifting your leg?" Apparently too many years of playing softball!
