Thanks to @BuckeyeNut for the inspiration for this thread.

As the title says, we all love golf, as do some of our kids, but what else do you enjoy doing with them to get some of that quality parent/kid time?

A little different kind of range session with my daughter yesterday.....

Yep, that's her 25 foot target!  The real definition of "gun control"..... :-)

@David in FL ,  nice shooting!!  It looks like she would kick my butt.

I hunt and fish with my kids.  My oldest daughter does not seem to like either, but the boys, and the second oldest girl are interested.

My son (15) and I play video games (Madden, NHL, COD), watch UFC and go to the gym together.  He has no interest in golf but will join me at the range on special occasions.

Outside of spending most of our time on baseball and football fields we hunt, fish, hike trails, go canoeing, water skiing and almost anything in the outdoors.

Now that they are grown nothing has changed.


Nice shooting.

My son and I play Xbox360- Halo series, Gears of War, Golf, Racing... we go fishing sometimes also.

I don't play golf, I play at golf. There's a difference.

My son loves to go hunting, shoot bows, go hiking, and fishing.  If at home he pretty much follows me wherever I go and will do whatever I do.  It is kind of funny.  My daughter is only three but I can already tell she will be the same.  I would like to introduce my son to shooting targets with a .22LR but he is not ready yet.

We have grand kids who are into football, soccer, golf, cheer leading, and softball. We get to as many of their contests as we can. We also are involved in their money making activities for their individual sports.

We are quite proud of our foot ball player who has earned a 4 year ride to one of 5 colleges of his choice.

As for own kids, we raised two daughters, who played lots of fast pitch softball. It was time well spent to watch them both be successful. We have a few championship trophies from their hard work. they have both grown up with personal successes, and with fine families.

Our golfer who is 11 years old is breaking 100 from the women tees. She averages around 94 every 10 rounds she plays. She has already broken 90 on two occasions. She is the "tom boy" of the bunch.  She played from the tips with me the other day, just for fun. (7200 yards) She carded a 105. At the start, I gave her 20 strokes and almost lost a win/win situation. Yes, I let her drive the cart some days. :surrender:

Our cheer leader, is also our soccer player who has more losses than wins is quite persistent, competitive ,and a hard nose playing young lady. She wants to be a prosecuting attorney when she grows up. She also plays plays the Cello in he HS orchestra.  She is one of the flyers on her squad. She gets to do most of the high stuff during their cheers. Scares her Grand Ma to near death with some of the stuff she does.

Three of our grand daughters play soft ball in their off seasons.

We have a 4th grand daughter who is not sports minded. She is into art, photography, and hiking.

Of course our whole family of youngsters likes to camp and fish.

A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

    • Day 10: 2/16/2025 Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.  My new priority pieces. 
    • Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed. 
    • You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.
    • Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping. 
    • I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.
