Golf

A great night at the golf club tonight, giving Ethan a big send-off before he heads to the States on Monday morning. A fantastic night of food, drink, chat and music. A few tears at the end of the night, but that’s been the way of it the last few days as the big day arrives.

Great afternoon of golf with the wee guy. Getting to the point where he now takes money off me every time we go out now. 😂

Caught a cracking shot of the wee guy playing in the par 3 comp today. Learned a lot of what’s possible when taking action shots with my iPhone.

The win yin is playing in his first county level event at Cochrane Castle Golf Club today. He’ll be doing well if he plays to his handicap today. Good experience for him as well.

Watching the big yin playing in the Newton Shield final tonight at Greenock Golf Club. Still early days for scores but looking good in a couple of the early games for Elderslie.

Had a great day playing Pro’s Day at Elderslie Golf Club with my dad, uncle and Stuart. Not quite in the running for over all winners but a great day nonetheless.

A cracking for our golf club’s juniors to start their league matches. It’s looking like a draw but could still go either way.

The wee yin had a good lesson today working on his short game. I hope he remembers it all for tomorrow when he plays his winter knockout tie.

I have mixed feelings about this morning’s snowfall. On the upside, the garden will be immensely picturesque under snow. On the downside, the golf course will likely be closed all weekend, which scraps the plans the wee yin and I had for tomorrow.

Played 18 holes with the big yin this morning. Nice to get a round of golf with him instead of just watching him.

I had a great time with Drew out in the course today. With winter golf around the corner, it’s time to encourage Drew to try different shots and learn more about what’s possible with his clubs.

I’m heading out for 13 holes of golf with my youngest shortly. I love that our golf club’s course allows you to play 5 holes, 13 holes, or a full round. We’ll mostly play 13 holes over the winter until the weather improves.

Last round at the Fairmont in St Andrew’s for the big yin. Hard to get creative with pictures round a golf course, but I try.

Another great Sunday afternoon golfing with Drew.

It’s that wonderful time of year when I can golf in the afternoon with the boys, head home for a Sunday roast dinner, and watch a couple of NFL games in the evening.

Office for this morning. Refereeing the junior club championship.

Took the wee guy to the driving range for a session today. Weather has been awful this week for golfing.

Another good day for Ethan on the golf course.

He won the Junior County Champion of Champions this afternoon at Paisley Golf Club.

Closing off the golf season with a couple of trophies, well done big yin!

After a nightmare week in the Lang household, we were relieved to end on a high note with Ethan winning the Junior Club Championship at Fereneze Golf Club. Well done Ethan!

Good afternoon of winter golf with the boys today.

Proud of Ethan winning his first Junior Club Championship at Paisley Golf Club.

A superb match over 36 holes that went to a second playoff hole before the winner was decided.

Friday night dinner at the golf club with a cracking view. Great start to the weekend.

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.

Spent tonight refereeing our last junior semi-final match at the golf club. Looking forward to finals day to see all our finalists play again.
