Golf

Further to Joe's blog about Martin's birth, we decided to get an early start on producing our golf foursome. We bought Oliver (which will be handed down to Martin) a little mini-set of golf clubs. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any used, but they are pretty cute. It comes with a putter, a 7/8 iron and a wood. It even came with it's own little golf bag.

Joe dug out his indoor putting green to teach Oliver how to putt (talk about the blind leading the blind). Oliver loved the putting green, and immediately set up his trucks on it. He did try putting, he likes to stand behind the ball (as opposed to beside it) and hit it that way. I actually think billiards might be his game.
We also all went to the driving range yesterday, as school was closed. Perhaps not our most thought out plan, as we showed up with a toddler and a baby. I'm sure we were quite the site. Martin was quiet though as he nursed. Oliver did show interest in hitting the ball, and used the same form as when putting (i.e. standing behind the ball).

There are Kindergolf lessons here, but we are going to wait until he is 3 before starting him in them. And for future practice, we are just going to go to a park and hack around.

Joe went golfing today, but I'll let him tell you all about it (since I don't know yet!).
