Fore!!!!

Josh has always said that he wishes that his parents would have made him take up golfing when he was younger.  For those of you who know Josh, I think that he honestly believes that he could have been the next Tiger Woods and as a result, well, as a result, he and I probably wouldn't be married.  But, if we were, he would be able to afford to buy me things like a garage, an addition (shoot!  an entire house), a piano, etc. However, he is in fact, not Tiger Woods (which, in hindsight, I'm ok with given his not-so-loyal past).  But....just because he isn't Tiger Woods doesn't mean that our kids can't be and then THEY can buy me my garage, addition and piano!

So, what better time to get them out there than now?  I think that I was out of town the first time that he took them to the putting green.  But, I was able to witness the second time and it was pretty freaking cute.  In an effort to save the greens, Josh didn't allow them to use a real putter and in fact, not even a real ball.  Instead, he gave them their plastic golf club and plastic balls.  And, I have to say, they both did quite well.

Although, I do have to take credit for part of this.  Josh refuses to believe this story, but when I was a Staff 1 with Andersen, I was pretty much forced to participate in a golf tournament - although, I had never hit a ball in my life.  But, it was one of those tournaments where they pick the best shot from the team and start from there every time.  Needless to say, not many of my shots were used.  Until.....my historical, never to be forgotten 75 foot put.  I'm not kidding you - this thing was amazing.  I was the hero of the day (or at least in my mind). 

So, Alex?  TOTALLY taking after mom.  No joke - the kid hit the ball into the hole from AT LEAST 30 feet away.

It was amazing.  He is still talking about that put.  And, I'm still reminding him that he is indeed not quite yet the best putter of the Holland family, but he may get there someday. HA!  Kidding.  I support him.  Don't worry.  But, we all know the truth...
