Putting Around

Hosting Grandfather last week lead to some mid-week fun at World Golf Village. Rain put a damper on our planned activities on a few of the days which motivated us to get out an enjoy a particularly sunny afternoon on the 18-hole putting course. So much better than the Putt-Putt we had growing up!Grandfather tried to offer the boys a few pointers. Of course, Jaxon who takes golf very seriously was receptive to the input. Baylor, however, apparently believes he is performing on the pro-level at the ripe old age of two and wasn't interested in Grandfather's constructive criticism or advice. So as with most activities, we just let Baylor do his own thing.At least he grasps the basic concept of the game. That's all I can say!Jaxon once again demonstrated that he has some natural talent when it comes to golf. He shocked us all with a hole-in-one on hole 2, and came very close to a repeat shot on the back 9. Good thing we weren't keeping score. Jaxon would have smoked us!Ultimately, we all had fun and isn't that the point of any game? Try telling that to Jaxon! He's just so competitive. He simply can't help it. It's just his nature.While the boys share many similarities in appearance, mannerisms, and personality, Baylor doesn't seem to have his brother's competitive spirit. He's all about fun. The perfect example would be the enthusiastic "Woo hoo!" exclaimed by Baylor after he'd complete each hole. It didn't matter if he shot a 3 or an 88! Baylor was just happy to being playing the game. Ha!Oh and discovering you could remove the flags from the hole only added to the fun. Geez Louise! Dodging Baylor & the flag added a whole new dimension to the game!Of course, after spending a week & a half with Grandfather, I can definitively say that ALL of the boys' quirks and personality run in the genes!!!
