HS Golf

The past month or more has been a lot of golf for Kayson...  he's shown so much interest, an increase from last year.  He golfs with friends, he golfs alone, he goes to the range, etc.  He enjoys it.  

The past week or so Kayson has been prepping for the HS try outs.  As the dates got closer, the stress increased...  the emails and reminders, and most all the "33 trying out, but we only take 18" really hit hard and was a huge wake up call.  The emotions were high...  the rollercoaster of thoughts were just that - all of the place.  Some days he'd come home or say "no way I'm making the team", then the next day was "I'll make it!".  It's been crazy!!

As a Mom, it's been hard to see.  I understand how much he enjoys it, he has fun with it (which is shocking), but it also can be a super hard game!!  We've gotten him into golf lessons, and I truly think that has helped...  but again, some days are great, some days are bad.

Regardless, Monday and Tuesday came - weather was not that great...  anxiety was high... and he had a terrible round on Monday. So bad that he got in the car with tears in his eyes.  Talk about gut wrenching.  Tuesday was better...  still not great, but much better.  And at the end of that round, it was announced he made the team - barely.  He was #18.  

The number shouldn't matter...  but it is another wake up call.  He has some work to do, but in the end, I'm proud of him... proud of him trying, and keeping with it. 

More golf to come I'm sure!

The sophomores that tried out.  Not all made the team.
