Golf

“Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.” ~William Wordsworth

Yesterday we had the pleasure of taking the afternoon off and treating Kyle and Owen to a golf outing. “Play Golf” was put on our Summer To Do List by Kyle, and play golf they did! In order for both boys to be able to go at once, we had to have two adults on the course (the golf course rules require it), so Mama went along as The Official Photographer. Thanks to Ryan (who stayed home to babysit Meera), the four of us had a luxuriously-toddler-free, totally enjoyable afternoon. I’ve been to the driving range with Braydon and the boys many times, but never to watch them play golf on the course (Braydon has taken each boy separately, but not both at once before yesterday). It was an unbelievably lovely afternoon and I think that all four of us savored every minute of it. It was a spectacularly beautiful summer day. Bright sky and warm breeze. The three of them had so much fun and it gave me so much joy just to be there with them. Kyle and Owen are really good golfers! (it was shocking even to me how good they are); Braydon is a really good Golf Coach for them; and of course it was a major highlight to get to drive the golf carts! They played 9 holes and K & O left the golf course proclaiming that “when they’re 8 they’re going to do all 18!” We’ll see what next summer holds. For now, we’re still soaking up the really good time we had yesterday.
