Both kids were super excited to go golfing and couldn't wait to tee up. Megan decided she wanted to keep her score along with Jeff and I. Right after the first hole we concluded that after Andrew took like 20 swings to make it in the hole that we would not be keeping score for him.
Andrew was a trooper and would take as much time as he needed. He'd whack away at the ball and before it got a chance to stop he'd run up and hit it again. It was really hot that day so neither Jeff or I stopped him. It made our game play move much faster.
Megan expected to be really good and quickly got frustrated when she found a difficult hole. Jeff and I did our best to explain that we were out to just have fun and it really didn't matter what our scores were. I think about 10 or so holes in she decided she would rather not keep score.
There was 2 courses of 18 holes. We of course played both courses. The first course was pretty and had water features. The second course was more shaded and a little less cute but the holes were a bit more tricky. Megan came across a hole that had a loopy hill thing. She was trying so hard to get it over. She didn't want to give up and wanted to stay for as long as it took. Unfortunately we had a group behind and after about 15 tries we had to have her move on. She was very upset about this and had a hard time recovering on the next couple of holes.
We were all sweating and were moving through the holes a bit faster paced than usually play would be. This made it hard to appreciate when someone made a good shot and we did have a few of those.
In the end you get to try and shoot your ball into a bunny nose. If you make it in a buzzer rings and you win a ticket for a free round of golf. Megan was our big winner and got a ticket. We were all very proud of her. It was something different for our family to do and okay of an outing. I think I would have done things a little differently and if we go back we'll have to switch things up a bit so we all have a good time.
