Today, our oldest son, Walker, won first place in his age group at a National Junior Golf Club tournament at Providence Country Club.He loves the game and has become quite a good player. He shot a 78 today!!!
(40 on the back and 38 on the front).
This is his 3rd golf trophy...
The first one was last year when he came in 2nd in his age group for an inner club tournament.
This is his 3rd golf trophy...The second trophy is a shared one with Dad...they won 1st place in the Father/Son tournament last year.
But this one was extra special...Walker called my dad (Pop) last night and asked if he would come today and be his caddy. Pop gladly agreed to the job and it was just the beginning of a magical day!
Walker has played a lot of golf this summer. There have been disappointing and frustrating days; many wonderful ones too...
The game of golf is such a great "life sport"...and a lot like life itself. Some days we hit pure shots...long and straight and stay on the fairway, ease right up onto the green and sink it. Other days, we land in the ruff and it's so difficult to get out of the mess; or we land in the bunker...the sand trap... and we can't get out. If we rely on God, trusting Him in all things, knowing full well that He has us in the palm of his hand and that He works all things together for good, we believe that He will lead us out of the ruff or the water and push us to the place He wants us to be. He never promised there would be "hole in ones!"
So proud of you Walker...for doing your best and for enjoying the game, for being a good sport, and for including your sweet grandfather in such a magical day! Bless you Dad, for being a part of it! Today you were BOTH winners!
