On Friday, Daddy and Spencer walked to Kerbey Lane for breakfast. When they were finished Spencer asked, "Where can we walk to now?" So they headed down South Lamar to check out Tuesday Morning. Well it's a good thing they did, because there just happened to be an awesome junior golf bag and club set on clearance.

When you have new golf gear, of course you have to head to the driving range to test it out.

On Saturday, Spencer said he wanted all three of us to go to the driving range. Of course we think Spencer's a junior Tiger, but Dave was a proud Daddy indeed when the golf pro there commented that he had been watching Spencer and he has a really good swing for age 4 and even called him a prodigy!

And what better thing to do on a Sunday afternoon than to hit the tent sale at Golfsmith? Daddy was in the market for a thing or two, but guess who came away with all the stuff? Spencer found some golf shoes (marked down to $17 from $60!), a golf cap, a glove and driver. He practiced inside the store where you can hit toward a big screen and a computer calculates the distance, etc. In this video he's making sure our friend David Baker is watching.

Spencer also hit a small bucket of balls at the driving range outside the store and practiced putting before we headed out.

When I was watching Spencer today at the driving range, I thought of the picture below and wanted to recreate it. I wasn't able to get the exact picture I wanted, but makes me sentimental to compare the Spencer of almost 3 years ago with his first golf set and my big boy golfer today.
