Great story. All my kids are grown and due to a nasty divorce and my own mistakes, I missed out on a lot with my oldest son (30) and there was a loooong time when we didn't get along at all, it was golf that brought us back together. He and I play together most every weekend now and now my youngest son (21) has picked up the game and plays with us. Those hours on the course with my boys is the best part of my week and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
my get up and go musta got up and went..

What a great story. I just happened to be looking into summer golf camps for my youngest (she's 9 now and just starting to get into golfing) so really appreciate you sharing this. Funny how quick the time goes, I have 3 young kids and they're all pretty active in one thing or another. My wife and I spend half our lives running around to their various events and as crazy as it can be sometimes I dread the day when it all stops.

Great story.  An inspiration as I have two little ones that I hope will grow up to be golfers.

Beautifully written. I'm a father of four (boys), so hearing stories like this really fuels my ambition to make the most of my time with them, especially during their childhood. My father was present growing up, but totally disengaged, so I really don't have any reference points on how to do this thing the "right way". Hearing from a son who lived it, really encourages me to continue, and even go harder in the direction I've been.

Thank you, Divot Dave.

And if I can just say: just by looking at the picture of you with your boys, I can tell you're doing it the right way.  Beautiful family!

Dave, you can see it in their eyes when you do something right. My Son is 40, and has 3 of his own kids, he works long hours, yet is always doing whats best for them. Heck, I can't even get him to play golf anymore..lol Dave, if you have any ?'s, feel free to PM me..keep up the good work.

    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
