In that order.

I don’t play golf as an adult but I did as a kid and teenager. I got my first kid clubs around 5. It was the cutest little cloth white bag with my name on them. I wish I still had them. My parents and Grandparents on my Mothers side were all tournament golfers, so I grew up at the country club pretty much every weekend. My Dad was the VP at Brookwood for many years. Maybe that’s actually why I DONT play. Long hot days sometimes, but those were good years. I also played T ball and took gymnastics for several years.

I have respect for any and all athletes. It’s a serious commitment to play sports.

There are so many benefits that come from playing sports. Physical health (obviously), mental health, stress, confidence, and discipline to name a few. There’s a lack of mental toughness and self esteem in a lot of kids these days.

We have a niece that was so tiny and timid as a child, and literally would hardly even speak. My SIL put that child in softball and now she’s looking at scholarships to LSU and several other schools. She found her “thing.”

You don’t even have to like sports to respect athletes and their physical ability. Let people be great!!!😊
