Crazy Little Game Called Golf...

There is a tradition in our household that frames most of our gatherings. It is revered by all (well, almost), and enjoyed by most. This sacred ritual seems rather simple at first glance. The name is only one syllable....only one simple holy ball is used (at a time)....and only one person has to play. But, the rest is rather complicated....Tee Times, Equipment, Where to play, etc. consume most of our get together conversations. Because it is so beloved, GOLF has to be discussed, demonstrated (in our living room), laughed about, stories exchanged, practiced (in our living room),....and even played on the Wii (in our living room)!
Well, we now have a grandson. He is 2 years old.....So his parents and his grand dad decided it was time to introduce him to this tiny one word, sacred game....
Darlin and I went to #1 Daughter's house to spend the night and experience with them the Little Man's introduction to this Crazy Little Game called, GOLF.
 Dad-Dad (Jax's name for Darlin') was so excited...Tee time was made, no nap was taken....This was going to be interesting!

Jax first examined the carts.....several of them, before he landed in the right one.




















Then Dad-Dad began trying to guide him throughout the course...and we all know who was guiding whom!


















The Little Man watched Mommy and Dad Dad as long as he could....














Until he had to join them....
He has a better view holding Mommy's hand....
Using Dad-Dad's new toy to be a good caddy.......Even looking through the wrong end is fun!
There was so much to learn and to explore....
Little Man is a natural at keeping his eye on the ball...








And he understood the importance of becoming familiar with the course...ALL of it..:)

Instructing Dad-Dad on his approach...


Sometimes a guy just needs to sit down and think about it... 
Walking/running the course is part of the game....












Looks like Dad-Dad will have a new golf partner before too long!


The Family Tradition of the Crazy Little Game called Golf  goes on forever and the games will never end.....
Me? I'd rather be shopping!
