Golf and Planes

Both Dane and Ty are playing golf for Fairfield Christian Academy.  After years and years of football, basketball and baseball.....this is the only sport left!  I must say that it is much different to be a fan watching golf than the other sports.  First, you have to be quiet unless there is a great shot...then clapping is appropriate.  Second, you have to stay so far away and you can't speak to the golfers.  This is good because I don't know anything about golf unlike the other sports where I have things to say from time to time!  Third, it is one of the only sports where you get a workout by watching!  I do enjoy walking the course WHEN I do not have the girls with me....great walk!  When the girls are with me I am slightly miserable and would be rich if I had a nickle for every time I said, "Shhhhh!"  Dane is on the JV team this year.  Ty golfs in the number two spot for the team.  One of the photos is with Kyle, the number one guy.  Both Kyle and Ty made it to state last year.  If all goes well, the Knights will send their entire team to state this year!  So far Ty has had some great games.  Such is the game of golf, he has had a few not so good days!  One of the more exciting ones was where he shot a 34, two under par at a match at Valley View.  On the ninth hole he pitched it in for an eagle!  One of those "you are allowed to clap" moments!

One Sunday our small group met at a hangar at the local airport.  One of our group members has a small plane.  We had a great picnic and everyone was given the opportunity to go up in the plane and get a birdseye view of Lancaster, Ohio!  I passed as I only get on planes to travel to destinations and not for enjoyment!  Tom took Lily up and our friend Cassie took Sarah up.  I did drive the golf cart around the airport!
