Lake Quivira Jr. Golf

As you have seen by now, this summer is jam-packed with a ton of golf! Since our family joined LQ, Brian has the kids signed up for everything and anything golf that is included with our membership to the club. The wrap up to the summer season at LQ is a Junior Golf Tournament on 7.22.16. I actually missed most of it as I was still packing to leave for Branson. This is not a mom moment I’m proud of because both of my boys played very well and I do not like missing ANYTHING.

Jake was 1st in his age group and Drew was 2nd! Jake took down Andrew who has won the tourney 4 years in a row I heard. I rushed out to LQ hoping to catch at least a hole or two and realized Drew was already done and Jake had two swings left. Shoot! At least I would see an awards ceremony. Well no, that actually doesn’t happen until the next week. Double shoot! Oh well, on the bright side this is going to start our weekend getaway to Branson on the right foot…boys played great, car is packed, and we are hitting the road and escaping our chaotic life for a couple days.

Jake and Drew, I can’t tell you enough how proud I am of you. As I’ve taken a couple golf lessons this summer, I’ve learned the amount of skill involved in this sport and what the two of you do at your age is so impressive. Keep working at it and having fun! I can’t wait to watch you, discuss every detail of your rounds, and just be a part of this sport with you.

On July 29th, LQ had the twilight family golf night, putting contest, and awards dinner. Drew raked it in and it was well deserved…look at all of these golf balls he won!

Drew and Brian won the twilight family golf tourney with their score, they won the putting contest, and Drew got his medal for 2nd place in the Jr. Tourney. Along with some yummy pizza, breadsticks, cookies, and brownies…this guy is living the high life!

Jake very proudly accepted his 1st place medal and you can tell by his smile that he’s hungry to get another one next year!

For the family tourney, I was paired up with Jake and Beau Reves (Drew’s school buddy) and Brian was paired up with the girls. We had a ton of fun but I have to admit…poor Jake and Beau were at a disadvantage with me on their team. I played terrible…sorry Chris (my golf instructor in the pink shirt), I promise to play better next time! But this was only the 2nd time I’ve stepped foot on a golf course to play so I’m going to cut myself some slack for now.
