May 2020, I took the boys on their first golf outing. All three of us were not so great. We hit air, we left divots, we went double to triple over par. It just wasn't pretty. I have always wanted to learn correctly, I have wanted Mark to learn and start playing, and I wanted the boys to learn the correct way to play. So, I signed the boys up for golf lessons. Jake went twice, and Luke went three times. The lesson's were indoors with a virtual golf screen with a good instructor. He was very nice and encouraging and really taught them some good basics. Luke was so excited to see his own improvements and would go home and practice. He would tell me each week how many yards farther he could hit according to the virtual estimate. He learned how to swing pretty well and would hit balls into our hay field. We put the bug in Grandma's ear to look for golf balls at garage sales, and she was bringing dozen after dozen. Luke was ready to try his swing at the golf course and Grandpa Po volunteered to go along and drive the cart. This was a great set up, it got Grandpa out of the house, and Luke had a cart driver and someone to watch him. Right away he met the Ogden school golf coach and was invited to practice with the team. He thought that was pretty cool and went to practice night a few more times.
