This year the girls started the golf program First Tee. Bob was so excited to have them get started on the course, but I wasn't sure whether or not the sport was going to stick. Low and behold the girls LOVE their First Tee program and came home the first day anxious to get back out on the range.
In Florida Grandpa and Daddy LOVE to golf together so one of our fun outings was an afternoon on the Southseas course. It was a great course for kids because it was only 9 holes, many of them were right on the ocean, and the distances were short....plus it ended at a bar on the beach. (Margaritas anyone?)
We all got to participate and even I had a fun time attempting to play a sport I am most certainly not an expert at! Unfortunately in true Lily form, the one bee in the area landed on her and stung her hand on hole number 2. Poor kid. The bugs are drawn to her.
So it put a damper on her golf grip and she decided to be the golf course chauffeur.
Evie on the other hand was ALL in all the time. She loves golf. She would walk right up their to her spot, set her ball up, and swing as much as she could.
She and Grandpa even had a private lesson out on course where Grandpa reminded her to keep her eye on the ball and let her body swing around. Don't move those eyes!
High Fives' Evie and Grandpa! You guys are awesome!
Lily was able to take a few more swings but loved just toodling around in her golf cart. Both girls got to drive even though they aren't licensed. The golf carts are the best part for kids!
By the time the last couple of holes came around everyone was hot and tired, but the consensus was a HUGE success.
Cannot wait for the girls to continue in this golf journey and hopefully will make Daddy and Grandpa a great golf companion one day!
