Sugarbell Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Well not little he's as tall as me. Big 3 county golf tournament today. The kids are out of school all day...my son going into the tournament was seeded 4th out of 150.--Based on all the cumulative scores from the season)... He said on the way there today " Mom I am the only kid in top 10 that doesn't have designer clubs, shoes, bag. " (He's uses his Dads golf bag and shoes (yea my kid wears a 12)...Clubs my brother and I have gotten off Ebay...and a wheel cart that he found on the curb for trash pick up 3 years ago that we took. His goal was to place in the top 10 today. It's the toughest course in 3 counties. My response "Yep and that's part of your power" He's also the only one that wasn't on the expensive Callaway tour this summer. So me and my goofy brother (imagine a Jim Carey movie-that's how my brother acts) rode around today watching. He didn't golf that well....I saw balls go in the creek, hit trees...but he stayed mentally tough. He met his goal...he made it to top 10...placing 10th (but got a medal and pic in paper). It wasn't his best day....but to make it in top 10 today (and come in with a 4th seed ranking) in a sport where most the top 10 kids golf every weekend at a country club...I was damn proud. And I heard a few people calling him " Happy Gilmore"....not sure if it was meant as a compliment or insult...but I guarantee they will remember him when the season rolls around next fall.

Sugarbell Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 I left early for a class yesterday...he didn't get tenth...he was sixth. There was just a 4 way tie for six (So instead of 10 places they have only six so they had enough medals) I have to much smashed in my brain currently....I am easily confused.
