EasyPutter Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 35 minutes ago, JAYER38 said: MGS I want you to meet Jasper! He is his own man forsure. Came early at 32wks so spending a few weeks in the NICU but the nurses love him! They say he just kind of does his thing until we bother him haha. I am back at work for now until he can come home but i visit him every morning on my way to work and every evening on my way home for a few hours. Mom & I always get to change him, feed him what he will take that way, & of course bundle him up when he is ready. Got to say its ALOT mentally but boyyyy i wouldn't trade it for anything!! Ive got to say i never knew being a parent would be this exciting! Looking forward to a lifetime of adventures with this dude… and his mom of course haha I really can't say "and so it begins" because it began a long time ago when that little man first made himself known to you and MGSpouse, so the odyssey continues to reveal itself in amazing ways. Hope he has established the precedence for always being early because it is one of our best traits as men, especially for tee time. Thanks for your sharing your news, the photo of your new member of the family, and your presence for him and wife and for your MGS community where we really are family we choose.

Subdiver1 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Children are truly a blessing. They bring smiles when we least expect them, and typically when we most need them. They try our patience, which can be an opportunity to become better people. Their innocence can remind us that adults often should take a step back and take another look. If we could all only retain some of that innocence, golf would probably be a much less stressful game GolfSpy_APH 1 Quote Driver - Ping G400 9°, Project-X Evenflow Black 6.0S 65 gr.

jbern Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 We went outside yesterday and my youngest got ahold of a club and would not put it down for anything. She held it while kicking a ball and even held it on the kiddie swing. She didn’t put it down until we went inside and she happily put it in the bag. Hopefully it’s a sign of a future golfer!

Norm49 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 My daughter likes golf but watching it depends on the day. Sometimes she'll say "Dad I want to watch golf with you. " others it's "No I want to watch a kid movie". Either way I'm happy at this point. She likes to putt on my home putting mat and at the golf club she enjoys going to the putting green. I'm debating taking her for a few holes this year. My son is only 4 months but locks on to the TV with either golf or hockey on so I'll assume he'll play. Fingers crossed.

The time with the newborn is so precious, you want to keep every single moment in your memory forever. It feels like my daughter was born yesterday and today she is mostly four and i am talking to childtime customer service and discussing our daycare options. Time just flies.

Just_the_Chip Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I'm sure this was shared here before... but this advice from Padraig Harrington is exceptional. I took it to heart last year while playing with my daughter and we had a hell of a day together, and she played all 9 holes on the local cheap par 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2fFxE_QCTg Quote "In fact , we both tend to hold the Midwestern stoic view that genuine problems are solved with action, not pissing and moaning.

I doubt i would use it all the time but for the rare occasion. Wondering if courses had a tendency to get upset if you bring your child on the course. A playing partner had an issue with a superintendent about it one day where it turned into an issue. We had permission but the super tried to swindle us for extra $$ and we had to contact the course owner over it. We knew the owner and super die to playing there on a regular basis and had a good reputation there. Quote Been playing for about 2 years in total. Winter breaks and a 6month period when I got sick.

Strongeotwe Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) It sounds like you're having an amazing time with Ivan and your dogs. I'm expecting a boy myself, so it's cool to hear about your experiences. It's gonna be my first child, and I'm excited and terrified. Browsing different sites to gather as much as possible info on parenting. While browsing, I came across a baby hip seat carrier on conqueringmotherhood.com, which is something that interested me. I wonder if any of you experienced parents who bought something like this for their babies? Any feedback to share? TBH, I didn't see people with those things, but I know that more new stuff appears almost daily.
