No School...

The teenager had a no school day today. So we went to the city to have his golf clubs checked. Because last year he got lessons from a PGA pro for Christmas and at his last lesson they measured his clubs against each other and the 1" extension we thought we had on them when we bought them appeared to be 1" shorter than standard??? What????
.
This was not making me a happy camper, I hope this was some kind of mistake!
.
So we finally had time to go downtown and get him measured and see what the problem really was.
.
Good news is they are still 1" longer than standard, and he does still fit them, barely! The professional golf guru says he should play with them this length but at the end of the season, we should fit him again... it looks like he can use longer clubs the way he is growing (I see $$ in my near future...yuk). But they don't want to mess up his game, and if he changes in July, there will be plenty of time to get adjusted before the snow flies.
.
He said this will be really important, because we don't want his game to be all over the place for his senior year, when he could be looking at scholarships.
.
Cool, Those were pretty sweet words to a mom's ear!!! No change means no money, but also scholarships, wahoo... I love that word.
.
So after a pretty fun day together, he was itching to go play a round of golf, what else? After he was done, he was so happy; he played one of his best games; two under par. Nothing better than a happy teenager!our first self portrait attempt... oops zoomed in.
open your eyes...quit it!
A good time was had by all!

Cute pictures, it's reassuring to see that teenage boys and moms can still have fun together. Mine are still little, but I feel like time is going by so fast.

This game injures your pocketbook. Jack Garrett's injures his body. I'm glad Jake is playing Golf.
