Miles' First Golf Outing



Last week Miles took a few golf lessons at our local Park District. One of my students at North, who plays a lot of golf, loaned us his 'junior clubs.'

We had a great time this morning. Miles did really well, I thought, for a first time out. We started early (7 AM tee time) which was good, because by the time we finished at 8:45 AM (we only played 9 ... and it was a "Par 3" course) the temperature was already close to 90.

The whole experience of taking Miles to play this morning brought back many enjoyable memories for me. I remember Gigi setting me up with golf lessons at the Frankfort CC when I was in elementary school. And I remember many walks from Rockhill Road to the Stephens Lake Golf Course, where Dad was able to get me reduced green-fees for many summers.

Miles hit a couple of really good shots today. Check out the video here.
