In the last six months Hayden has really started expressing interest in doing things daddy does. The newest thing is golfing, before that it was cutting the grass, working with tools, watching sporting events etc. Lately it is golfing. I got Hayden his first set of clubs with bag at a yard sale for $10 and thought this was a great deal so that we can see if this is an interest that last more than a few weeks. I thought these clubs would be perfect but once I got them home I realized they are more for a 7-10 year old. Never the less he didn't know any different and was so excited to have clubs and a bag just like daddy. They filled it with balls, a golf glove and tees. Now he needed a golf course to play on with his over sized clubs. First we decided a trip to the driving range would be better suited than an actual round of golf. Hayden at first was very responsive to daddy teaching him how to hold the club and hit the ball but quickly decided he wanted to do it on his own. Landon had his plastic clubs too and got in a few swings. I even got to take a few swings and Hayden's clubs fit me well as I was actually able to get the ball off the ground which was a first. A few weeks later while visiting Uncle Keith and Aunt Emily, the boys went for a round of golf and Hayden went as well. He didn't have his "clubs" so uncle Keith had some old clubs that he cut down for Hayden and wrapped the end in duct tape and presto Hayden had a club that fit just right. Much better than the ones I bought. Hayden was so happy and filled with pride that he was big enough to go along for a real golf outing. When they came back he was so excited to tell me about golf cart riding and how he got to hit the ball during the middle of the course since the manager was not around.Looks like we are going to have to get him some actual clubs that are his size.
