to golf or not to golf??? what a stupid question!

obsessed.  that's the only word to describe it.  this was most definitely the summer of golf.  these kids were dressed at 7am every morning ready to go.  18 holes, swim, get out and play 18 more.  it's the first summer that they have really been able to go and play on their own.  they know the rules, the etiquette, and heck, they know all the old men out there, too!!  it was fun to watch their games develop and their passion (obsession?) grow.

one thing is for sure...these legs got a workout this summer!

AND rain or shine....they wanted to be out there!!!

the two littlest golfers hung with the big boys!

the two middle golfers would eat and sleep out there if we let them!

it's fun to see this picture change through the years!

they played some pga junior league matches for our club against other clubs in north mississippi and tennessee.  tcc has some pretty good golfers, y'all!

william and clay finally got to play together for the first time at the last match!  they were so excited, and they won 3-0.  so....maybe it won't be the last time they get paired together!

these two are ready to take their show on the road.  wes and mason got to play together the last match as well.  they also won 3-0!  and these game faces kill me!

 they also played on the coke tour and hit up a bunch of clubs all over north mississippi.  we were successful some days, and some days we just had fun chasing that ball around!

the ole miss course is fun because it's wide open!!!

old waverly is fun because it is old waverly!!!

corinth is always fun because a trip to the milkshake place always follows the corinth round!

wes is best friends with everybody he plays with by the end of the round!!

reed has to have a caddy at the coke tournaments.  daddy was able to go to one tournament and be his caddy this year!  mama had the job the rest of the year! 

(this is his wiggle dance trying to get that putt to fall in!)

no matter the scores, borroum's is always a hit!!!

and let us not forget annandale!  this kid has played that course waaaaaaay more times than me!!

it's funny when i look back at these pictures because i can tell that they obviously have their favorite items of clothing to wear!!  or maybe those are the lucky ones!!  :)

my best friend took one of these pictures, and i took the other.  we entitled the two of them together, "Summer 2017."  i think they about sum it up.

i know they will be out there plenty during the school year, but it's just not the same!  here's to hoping this school year flies by, and summer 2018 is just as fun!!
