The Next Tiger?

Or maybe just a VERY proud mama! Gage played in his first golf tournament this morning and placed FIRST in his division with a 38 on six holes!Here they are getting all ready to go. The other kids were a little whinny at the start about the thought of spending their morning on a damp golf course but after we got going they were happy to cheer him on and I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for anything!Gage warming up.Brody was a bit of a challenge as usual but luckily Dave's Dad was able to join us out on the course which not only made Gage's day but helped me out a TON as well.I love this picture of Gage and his Grandpa. He was thrilled to have him there to watch him especially since his Dad was unable to make it today.Here is his coach shaking his hand on a job well done!And receiving his medal! We have been watching the Olympics every night and I can only imagine what those parents must be feeling watching their children's achievements. By my reaction one would think it was my son winning an Olympic medal today, I am not sure which one of us was beaming more.A big congratulations from both his sister and older brother!All the kids that participated received a medal but from a little brother always comparing himself to his older one I know it meant a lot to Gage to do as well as he did today. David and I both try very hard to allow the kids to experience new things while they try to discover their passions in life and at the same time keep them in positions that enable them to encourage one another rather than compete with one another. The key word most days is "try" of course but today I think we did good... all of us. Hopefully this experience for Gage will help him appreciate the other kid's achievements in the future especially since we are now on to Kain and football for the year!Good Job,my Gager!!!
