Golf with family

This Memorial Day Weekend, I have spent a lot of time with my family. Yesterday the four of us went biking. Today we all went golfing. And for my mom and dad, it was the first time ever they played a round of golf. For my sister, it was her first time golfing at Ironwood. And for me, it was my job to teach and help out my mom and dad on the tee box.

Ironwood is a nine hole par 29 course. I just started playing there this year with the golf team. It is not a regulation course. So my dad reserved a tee time of 3:04 for us yesterday. Got there about 30 minutes before and warmed up on the driving range and putting green.

Then it started. My sister went first and she hit the ball short left of the green. Next, my mom teed off and she hit the ball well. As a lefty, the ball went up and bounced a bit over the green. We were all surprised. My dad hit it to the right in line with the hole and I hit mine short up the middle. So all the nerves for them three were starting to fade as the jitters were out. On the second hole, I hit my driver shot up the middle good but my mom and sister both hit it into the water.



There was a group in front and back of us at first but eventually things worked out so there was some space in between us and the other group. That was great as in the later hole, we were able to take our time in finishing the hole. My mom and dad both got better as we progressed but they still need some work.

In the end, my mom shot a 55 (not bad for beginner as we played double par rules), dad shot a 52 along with my sister who shot a 52. I shot a 44 AGAIN. During the season, my best score at Ironwood was 44 in which I did it 2 or 3 times. Just can't break 44...

Afterwards, my mom said "I'm tired but I had fun. Good exercise."

My dad said "I am thankful that I'm able to be with my son and daughter." It was a great feeling as I finally got my whole family to play golf.

This Memorial Day has been great as I have spent a lot of quality family time.

BTW, I took a lot of pictures and videos on the golf course today. It was fun golfing today.
