Friday night dinner at the golf club with a cracking view. Great start to the weekend.
Family
Another Sunday. Another nine holes with Drew. Cracking day for it and he managed to play most of the holes from the junior red tees. He even managed a double bogey on one hole, which for his age, is great going.
It’s just me and my boy out on the course tonight. He’s playing well and finished with a superb 4 from the blue tee, which is about 150 yards out.
Jen timed picking up these new caramel crunch biscuits from Aldi perfectly. #mbaug
We had a great time this morning having breakfast with Santa at The Bothy restaurant in Glasgow. A hearty breakfast was followed by a story with Santa, and then there was that all-important matter of seeing if you were on the naughty or nice list. Thankfully, Drew made the nice list!
Another Lego set is complete for Drew!
This year’s Christmas set, with the light brick and the detail inside, has some nice little touches. We just need to dig out the other sets tomorrow night when we put the tree up!
Paisley open doors day
Every year, our home town has an open doors day where many building and places that are usually closed off, are open to the public.
We usually miss this as the boys have something on this day, but this year we had a free day so decided to head into two for a wander.
We enjoyed a wander round the Thomas Coats Memoria Baptist Church where Jennifer spent much of her student life included taking many exams in the halls of the church and graduating from university here.
We wandered through the town to a few more places but we wanted to see Paisley Abbey and the views from the roof as this section is usually closed. The views didn’t disappoint and with the weather being great we managed to get a few great photos as the sun shown through some of the windows.
It’s nice to have a town with centuries of history and be able to walk through those places and experience some of that history.
Drew’s first hit on the course
Drew’s played his first six holes on the course today from the shortened blue tees we have for our younger players. Despite the pouring rain, he played well and picked up some tips from Ethan.
It’s great to see the boys share an interest. Even with the age gap, they can always do it together.
Had a great time yesterday at St Andrews. Got the boy’s picture on the Swilken bridge, walked along the beach, had one of the best fish and chips ever, and finally wandered around the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral. Next time we visit, we’re bringing the golf clubs.
The boys had a great time tonight at the club’s junior fun night. They even walked away with a prize each!
Great night for some golf with my boy.
