Today I conceded the title of best golfer in the family to this guy. It’s been a fun journey from when he was a toddler following me around and just bumping the ball to today where he’s out-driving me constantly.
For years, we’d play from the spot of whoever got the best shot, which was almost always mine. Then only 4 years ago he started wanting to play his own shots… Then he wanted for us to walk the course instead of using carts (don’t kid yourself, it totally changes the game!)… Then last year, he moved to the blue tees with me AND started winning. So I started doing gimmicky things like taking him to new courses or getting him up early or not letting him warm up and even moved him to the furthest back tees (what can I say, I’m competitive!) This year… Doesn’t matter, he’s beat me at every course in or out of Utah, any time, no warm up, way back tees. Again, doesn’t matter. There’s no going back… And I couldn’t be happier.
