    15 year old son shoots 2 over for 9 holes

    I am bragging, my 15 year old son, playing varsity golf shot 2 over for 9 holes. The summary 2 birdies, 2 boogies and a double boogie on the last hole with a three putt.

    He was the unoffical medalist but unfortuately he was the alternate and his score did not count, otherwise the team would have won the match. He said he's ready to take me on!

    Proud dad, I better go out and practice.

    That's awesome. Congrats to you and your son.

    I remember how proud my dad was of me when I told him my first solid score (4 over 40 in a match). Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so dedicated to golf. He's been just as proud of my golf game as my grades since I started playing. Unfortunately there are more scorecards than tests on the fridge, but he still gets a big smile on his face when I tell him about my rounds.

    Re: 15 year old son shoots 2 over for 9 holes

    My youngest son just turned 16, but last summer he was shooting high 70's - low 80's. For only being his second year of competitive golf, that's not too bad. The problem is he's playing against kids who've been playing since they were little, and are shooting around par or better.
    But he has a lot of potential, it will just depend on how committed he wants to get. I always try to encourage him by telling him he's better than I was at that age. He knows I played in college, so hopefully he'll keep wanting to improve.
