Sunday we took the kids over to the little practice area at the end of the driving range. It is the perfect place for the kids, and we can walk there from the house. Nora got her first taste of the golf course. We gave her a little club and she played with the golf balls. She liked playing on the putting green and trying to throw the ball into the hole.
It was amazing to see the progress Emma has made in her golf swing. A few months and a few golf clinics made a huge difference in her ability. The last time we were here she hit balls a few times. She would swing a couple of times, miss the ball quite often, and then sit in the golf cart and draw on the score card. This time it was like watching a different little girl. Her swing looked great, and she was making perfect contact with the ball. She hardly ever missed and she was getting most of her shots in the air. It was cute to see how proud of herself she was. She just kept hitting ball after ball and she was having fun doing it.
Ian got a little jealous of her progress. He hit balls for a little bit, but got frustrated when Emma was hitting the ball farther than him. He didn’t want to hit balls and ended up running around chasing bugs. Scott spent a little time with him, giving him some one on one attention, and Ian really enjoyed that. It helped get him motivated to hit a few more balls.
I am so happy that we are all able to spend time together here in North Carolina. This is such a perfect place for the kids to grow up playing golf.
