So cool watching him become a man... sorry...I'm starting to get a little misty......

No need to apologize! I now play regularly with two of my boys and it's awesome when they get past the point of just being our sons and get to the point when they also become one of the "Fellas".

Yup, and it's just the little things like watching him walk up the fairway chatting and sharing a laugh with Bill or Joe, or seeing another member coming down an adjacent fairway and calling out his name and waving, or patting him on the back and shaking his hand when the money changing is done and we're heading home....

It's the little things isn't it? I like watchin him get out of the car all dressed out in his golf stuff, ready to go. I also find that when it comes to golf, he'll still listen to me :). Last weekend he missed a putt and stomped his foot in frustration, messing up a bit of the green in the process. I put my arm around his shoulder and quietly said "Respect the course and don't ever do that again".He repaired the green and I could just tell that he got it and wouldn't be doing that again.
