GolfSpy MPR Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Some of the forum regulars know that I often post about my son Kirke. Kirke is five years old; he’ll be six at the end of December. He took up golf more or less from the time he could stand. He’s now at the point where we play regular rounds of golf. His course is built to the recommendations of US Kids golf; for him, nine holes runs right around 1,100 yards. We’re quickly running out of golf season here, and since the temps were supposed to get to the mid-40s today, I wanted to get in another round with him. And it turns out to be a round we’ll always remember. The sixth hole at our course is a par 4 for the adults, but Kirke plays it as his shortest par 3. We tee him up in the fairway, about 35 yards from the pin, which is a full 8-iron for him right now. One of the last times we played, I took a video of him hitting his shot from there. If you blow it up full screen, you’ll see the blue flag on the back left of the green, and his ball hit near the center of the green and run to the right. Today, the hole was back right. And before he hit his tee shot, he was talking about making a hole in one. And then he did it! He hit a beauty of a shot to the left side of the green, and then it started tracking for the cup. I’m yelling, “Get in the hole!,” knowing that it’s close, but also knowing that it’s hard to get the depth perception right from that distance. And then it disappeared! Here’s the great thing about having your little son hit a hole in one: it’s really easy to pick him up and carry him around in celebration! So here’s a video of him saying what he’s done, and then a video of him picking his ball out of the hole. We’ve got the ball, and my dad is planning to make a wooden plaque in the shape of the hole to mount it on. Obviously, I’m a proud dad today. I think we might have been the only people on the course today, but the course manager (who couldn’t be nicer to Kirke) was there, and Kirke got to tell him what he’d done. They let him off easy: he didn’t even have to buy a round of juice boxes.

azstu324 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 that's a round of 7UP for everyone! Man that's so awesome! My daughter Kaylen just turned 6 and she's slowly picking up the game. Right now she just drops a ball and putts when I'm on the green. I'm hopeful that this next year she'll show a little more interest and ask for a golf set and want to get more involved. I've also got a little dude that's not quite walking yet but he's definitely interested in whatever golf equipment I've got laying around.. at least he's interested in how it tastes.. that's a start right? I always see those replays on the Golf Channel of young Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth talking about one day joining the tour. Keep it up kid!
