Took my four year old son for a ride in the corvette, and nine holes of golf yesterday. Want to share a couple of pictures. Notice his addressing the ball and back swing. Not bad for a four year old. You could say I'm a proud father.

I started taking my son out on the golf course with me at about 3 years of age. He does everything right handed except swing a golf club. He insist on playing left handed. Looks like you guys had a great time and you are building memories to last a life time.

Keep him after it. I started my daughter out at that age. She's 17 now and was offered a 75% scholarship at the start of her junior year at a good Division I school. We now have some of the top DI program coaches in the country sending us e-mail and regular mail trying to recruit her. She will probably sign at the early signing period in November.

Plus the added benefit, it keeps them out of trouble.

Great pics! BTW, what golf course is that? I used to live across the street from the 18th tee at Carolina Pines while I was stationed at Cherry Point, and that looks familiar.
