First Golf Tournament

Tanner has been working hard the last month to prepare for his first golf tournament! Yesterday he participated in Claremont Golf Course's kids tournament. He may not have inherited his dad's math skills (see previous post), but he did acquire the love of golf gene! Don't ask me why I am encouraging my child to pursue a super expensive sport that takes a ton of time! But, it is a sport he is excited about and can play with his dad, so I don't mind so much.

Tee off time!

And he's off! They played 5 holes, and we only got to watch the first one. But he came back tired and content with his first tournament. He didn't win a trophy, but he said he had fun. He said trophies are fun too, though, and has set a goal to win one in the future!
