Father's Day Golf

To kick off Father's Day, the guys went and played golf. Steve, Jacob, Mac, Dad, Grandpa Ray and Uncle Elzo met at Cherokee Ridge Golf Course to play 9 holes of their par 3 course. I decided to tag along to capture their game.

It was definitely a beautiful day!

As the guys teed off at the first hole, a squirrel kept running back and forth in front of them

Grandpa Ray making a putt

Jacob holding the flag on the first green

Elzo at the second hole

A robin at the edge of the green...
The way some people play this may not have been the best place to be

Grandpa Ray shooting at the third hole

Jacob makes contact with the ball

Dad and Elzo looked like they were planning something

Another squirrel...or maybe the same one, hard to tell

Steve was disappointed with his chip shot

Elzo was proud of this shot

And there goes Grandpa Ray's ball

And Jacob gets some air

Dad's ball got good lift...see the ball in the corner of the picture?

On more than one occasion we were left looking for someone's ball

Mac almost left the course with this shot...

A little harder and Elzo's ball would have been in the street

Mac was really concentrating on his shot, I'm not sure he saw Steve coming...

At least he can laugh about it

Grandpa Ray gets his ball onto the green

Steve mad himself a target for Jacob, thinking he couldn't get the ball to him...
He was wrong! Jacob's ball landed at the edge of the green.

Dad took a little dirt with his ball

Elzo taking a moment to hold the flag

Dad attempting to make it past the sand trap...
And what is that in front of him?

Steve got really excited when he made par on this hole.
I'm not sure anyone else realized it though.

Steve digging a ball out of the lake

Elzo was very proud of his shot over the lake

Jacob attempted to get the ball over the lake using a sand wedge...
The ball caught the edge of the lake and bounced high into the air, but at least it didn't go into the water!

More than just balls go for a swim in the lake
Using a yellow ball for the last hole, this was not a good shot for Steve

Just a little disgusted with it

Jacob found a pink ball in the lake and decided to use it for the last hole

Putting on the last hole
