Aug 25, 2011 Golf with the boys...

Its a wonderful morning here in chicago.....getting hot and its already humid.
No sun just what looks like rain clouds.
And plenty of rain. Its been raining for a couple hours making it hot and wet outside.
Anyway, I played golf with the 6 & 8 yr grand boys yesterday and I beat them....whoopee.
It was a very short course a par 3 with 18 short holes...just perfect for the boys,,,especially
when their mom Lori carried their golf bags.
Being young boys, they hit low line drives close to the grass.
Me, being an old man, used my pitching iron and hit sky high (really high) balls
The boys were amazed....not knowing that hitting the ball high but far from the green is not good.
But it looks good.
It got warm around 85 and that made it uncomfortable. WE had to play yesterday as they start
school tues.
I think eating at Steak & Shake was the highlight for them. Especially the chocolate
shakes. You know kids....but even gramps loved the cold cold frosty type shake on this hot day.
No we didn't keep score and we didn't play every hole...well I didn't..
Tonight I'll be able to tell the inlaws about how I played great golf........more telling about
all the boys great shots that almost went near the cup.....or went straight of ran thru the sand
traps.
