Driving Balls at the Range

Michael loves sports. He's loved sports since he was a little baby; hence the baseball theme for his first birthday party and golf theme for his second birthday party. To this day, he loves anything that involves throwing or hitting balls. For his second birthday, Lolo and Lola bought him a real set of golf clubs, and Michael loves them! He collects golf balls and stuffs them in his golf bag. He has so many that when he wears the bag like a backpack, it's so heavy he has to lean all the way forward. I have to tell him to take it off because it probably isn't good for his back. He's one tough kid who knows what he likes to do...and can do it.

Lolo picked him up for some grandpa-grandson bonding at the driving range one day, and now he's hooked!
On this visit, he knew exactly where to get a bucket of balls. He can hit 1.5 buckets-full of balls before getting tired. Trust me, that's a lot!

When you give him tips on how to swing, he's adamant about doing it his way. He tells you, "Let me do it all by myself."
His golf balls land consistently just before the bunker...about 20-25 yards away.
Time to practice putting...with a driver? lol. After a few swings, he damaged the putting green. It was time to go. lol
Good job, Michael! My little Tiger Woods.
