My Little Golfers

Madeleine has taken a pretty serious interest in golfing in the past few weeks. She LOVES to go to the putting green at night and putt with Daddy, and has been begging for a "real" club of her own so she can go to the range with Matt. She's been going with him to watch, but can't do anything without an actual club. So, this week, Matt took her out and bought her a set of clubs all her own! They are real clubs -- and they're pink and Barbie!! They are adorable! They came with a standing bag and visor -- and a PINK golf ball! She is so proud of them.

Of course as soon as they got home with the clubs, Madeleine couldn't wait to go to the range (and Daddy was pretty excited too). They headed off, with Madeleine fully aware of the #1 rule: No hitting the club near Harrison! She did really great for her first time out there. According to Matt, she actually hit one ball almost to the 50 yard sign! Quite the little golfer.

Harrison has now been given Madeleine's old putter & he's pretty proud of it. It's funny to see the difference in them already. Madeleine will let you coach her verbally -- but wants to do it herself. Harrison will let you hold his hands and show him how to putt. We love that the putting green is just a few steps off our back porch, so we'll just stay until we're tired then walk home. :)

Her new clubs

One more thing...As we were going to bed that night Matt told me, "I was floating today! It was so much fun having her out there with me and seeing how much fun she was having." He's thrilled that she enjoys going out there with him; it's their special time together.
