Future Golf Pro?

Collin has been taking weekly golf lessons for about 6 months now.  It started because a buddy of his, Jake, was going and Collin was interested.  Remember how much he loves to play putt-putt golf?  He wanted to play it daily when we were on vacation a few years ago and asks to play fairly regularly still.  He has been doing really well with his lessons and even practices in the front or the backyard several days a week.  I cannot say that about anything else he does like baseball or even drums.  The next step would be for him to enter junior tournaments to see if he wants to continue the sport and to take it outside since right now, his lessons are all inside at the Golf Smart place.


Now that baseball has started, his golf swing has been affected some...especially his stance and twisting his foot at the end of the swing which he is not supposed to do in golf but is supposed to "squish the bug" in baseball with his back foot.


Because he has been asking for several months now, we finally had a night available to go to a local golf place to practice his golf drives (I really have not idea what it's called or the lingo but I am sure you get the point).  We went with two other friends that were available.  It was clear that Collin has swung a golf club before....so much so that the guy in the bay next to us commented about Collin's swing.  He then asked if Collin would mind if he showed him a few pointers.  Collin paid attention and did not mind the guy taking the time to show him some tweaks with his stance and how he holds the club.  The next several hits were even further than he hit before.  Wow!


Maybe if Collin is not a lefty baseball pitcher when he grows up, he will be a golf pro or at least hang in there with the best of them when he is golfing as part of a business deal.  ;)

Here are some videos of him swinging.  The music is from the golf place which made it fun for the audience and the boys while they were waiting their turn.
