Family Fun: Golfing
Before having a baby, I always admired parents that took their children with them to do fun things. So often you hear of
people saying things like, “We have a baby so we just stay at the house all the time.” I want to do lots of things and take Braylin with us to enjoy the fun!
This week we did just that! Ryan and I took Braylin golfing for the first time! In keeping with golf etiquette, we tried to time it right so that the course would be fairly empty. Our timing was perfect, we only saw one other golfer the entire time we were there.
Braylin loved golfing! She sat in between us on the golf cart and giggled as her hair blew in the wind. When we would get out of the cart, she would “run” around tossing and picking up the soft golf balls we got for her to play with.
There were only two situations that were problems for us. She kept finding golf tees laying around on the course and those seemed too pointy and dangerous for her to play with, but she got angry when we would take them away from her. She also though the sand traps were giant sandboxes and she dove into a couple of them. Not a huge deal, we just raked over her mess and moved on (with her begging to go back the whole time).
We all enjoyed our family time together at the course and I look forward to taking her again and again as she gets older. I think that if we continue to take her to do various things with us while she is so young that she will know how to behave in different situations as she gets older. Maybe that is just a dream, but it seems logical.
Have you ever taken a child golfing?
