    THE LINK

    This kid is killing me. Starts off on day 1 making the turn in 36, then proceeds to fire a 47 back nine.

    Day 2. Front 9 +2 38....falls asleep on back 9 and rolls in with a 42. I wonder if Ritalin would help.

    He'll get better at finishing off those rounds, clearly he has the game just needs to get the mental part moved up a notch.

    Congrats!

    Relax Dad! Becoming a great player in any sport is a process; not a result. He won his age group and he'll win a lot more, but not all on the same day. He's doing fine! LOL!

    He'd make a living kicking my ass, I can promise you that.

    He has two big hurdles coming up that affect all male athletes at this point in time.... girls and cars.

    Congrats, AJ and Taylor. I agree with JO'Co. Relax. It's a process. You're a great dad. You'll not only continue to handle his development well from this point forward, I'm betting you'll be a constructive influence. I could tell when I met Taylor in KC that he was being raised the right way. That's a huge factor in upward development IMO.

    Congratulations to Father and Son, and I agree with the coaching advice. He's still just a kid and will learn what he has to as time goes by.

    Being a coach mentor and facilitator will be more fun for both of you and he will improve faster.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Sound like Taylor playing 14 and 15 yr. olds is what it would be like if Nebraska were in the Big Ten....oh wait!

    I guess I can take advantage of this thread to link to my kid's recent accomplishment.
