Golf can be fun

[Strike One]

My oldest son flew into town yesterday with a friend of his, so we decided to go out and play 9 holes at the local muni course. My youngest son also joined us to make it a foursome.

The weather was perfect, the course uncrowded, we didn't keep score and had a great time. We ignore all the bad shots, cheered the good ones, made spontaneous side bets on impossible shots and scrounged around in the creek when we ran out of balls.

I usually play alone, and get all wrapped up in how well I'm hitting my shots. If we'd kept score it would have spoiled a great round of golf. Sometimes you just have to get out and enjoy everything else the game has to offer, which in my case was simply being able to spend an afternoon with my sons. I guess I forgot how much fun golf can be if you just let it take you wherever it goes.

Yes. It's fun. That's why I play with my family.

Great!  So cool how you had an amazing time with your family.  I love playing with my sister and my dad!

I was fortunate enough to play twice this week with my dad. We did the same thing y'all did and ditched the scorecard and tried impossible shots and had a really great time.
