His first trophy

Trevor had his last golf lesson on Friday and with it, they got to participate in 3 skills contests. First was putting, giving points for getting it in or close to a certain distance of putting. Trevor did ok with that. He never got it in the hole, but got it close a few times. Between 2 and 20ft putts. Second was a game called Snag Golf. You use over sized wedge and putter to hit a tennis ball to a flag stick that is wrapped in Velcro. You tee off, and then putt your way to the "hole". Trevor doesn't take very big swings on the "drive" so he did really well. Even if he didn't get it out very far, he could putt it a long way, and in 6 holes, his score was 18. He beat his age group and actually the age group ahead of him. I think it would be a really fun game for him to have and play at home. Last was a chipping contest. Again, getting points for getting it close or in the hole on 4 holes. Very tricky for him at this age. But, he had a great time doing everything.

Then after that was finished, we went inside for a buffet lunch and ice cream bar. They got gobs of "prizes", just silly toys and such. A picture framed of them, and were recognized for being in the program as well as called up if they had finished first in any of the skills competitions. All of the kids got the same trophy and medal and since that time, ALL Trevor wants to talk about and show off is his trophy. He LOVES it. It is his first real trophy. And he will let you know it if he talks to you. He has gotten medals from all his sports things through the YMCA so that's why the trophy is much better. Or perhaps it is because dad got some trophies from golf recently as well.

I did want to make a big THANK YOU to Ann Marie for watching Gwen during this two hour deal. Unfortunately, she was not very happy that I left, so it was a big task for their family. But she is feeling a bit more attached to me recently. So hopefully the fact that I left her (with Trevor this time) at my parents house for the weekend won't do anyone in.

Off to take my turn at a golf trophy.
