Best Round Ever

[chowe6]

I know compared to most on this forum this wont sound like much, but for me it was a huge deal. My 13 year old son wanted to try golfing, so i took him to a little 9 hole pitch and putt course last week to try it out. He liked it so much that by the end of the week he wanted to try an 18 hole course. So Ok, he was on spring break, i playe dhookie from work on friday and we went. We walk up to the first tee, after waiting for the 12 people in front of us to go, and with about the same number behind us waiting for their turn, and he drills a dead straight 175 yeard drive off the tee, unbelieveable. Now its my turn, and i have never hit a good forst tee shot ever, always something dumb like topping it and getting 20 yards in front of me or slicing it way out of bounds, however that day was different, a dead straight 240 yard tee shot, i couldnt believe it. The rest of the day was filled with teaching my son how to do this shot or that shot, how to hit out of the sand etc... and he had a blast and so did I. But the best part of it all, I have never broken 100, so that was my goal, and i have been on the range alot the last few months, and well it paid off, not only did i break 100, but also broke 90 and shot an 88. The round ended with me reaching the green in 2 on a par 5 and shooting for an eagle...unbelievable even still, well i didnt make the eagle or birdie for that matter, but i did make par. What a great day golfing, and now i have a partner to share the fun with for years to come.

Congrats, that's fantastic! Golf with your kid, can't get much better than that. Great score, too, I see your handicap dropping quickly.
