FORE!

We've taken AJ out golfing a few times the past couple years. He loves it this year! We have him play a scramble and drop a ball near one of ours. He played all nine holes both times and was an absolute riot. When he’d hit a ball off the tee he didn’t like, we’d ask him if he wanted to take a Mulligan and give him another ball. After a while when he didn’t like his shot, he started asking on his own…for a “Missed-Again.”


Golf according to AJ:

Don’t give a second thought to handing someone else the club you just used and expecting them to put it back in your bag for you.

You may start getting tired around the sixth hole. Feel free to sit on the grass to plant your tee in the ground so that you can fully concentrate on balancing your ball on it prior to hitting.

Golfing is much like being in a parade. Wave at everyone within your field of vision. If they are close enough, feel free to try and start a conversation.

When someone hits and creates a divot, yell, “Too bad!” and then run after the chunk of grass with wild abandon and replace it for them with a grin.

If someone “whiffs” and misses the ball entirely let out that belly-roar that others would politely hold back.

Flatly refuse to drive the cart. If someone insists that you should at least try, make them work the accelerator while you steer.

If you hit a shot that you are particularly pleased with, hustle right over to the nearest person and hug them.
