When Coleman was born, Shane's dad (a.k.a. Pop) immediately picked out a set of golf clubs for him. When he was 14 months old he got him a little plastic set, and they quickly became a favorite toy at our house. Pop took great pleasure in instructing his little pupil, even at an early age. Coleman got pretty good at hitting the ball, even as a tiny tike.This summer, Pop decided it was time to trade the plastic ones in for the REAL DEAL. We decided he would give them to Coleman in Florida since we would be going down for the week of the 4th of July. When Pop started looking around for the clubs down there, they were all really expensive (the cheapest set was over $100). Shane found them online at http://www.golfsmith.com/ps/products/LXJR105 (Coleman's are dark green, not pink) and a friend gave him a coupon code for 40% off the set.
Golf clubs with discount: $42
Practice balls, tees, play balls: $15
Black washcloth turned golf towel: $2.00
Look on a kid's face when they get their own grown up clubs?: Priceless
Coleman has since played putt-putt with them, gone to the driving range, played real golf about 3 times and has hit with them out in the yard a bunch. Pop still enjoys trying to instruct our little guy in the basics of the game. Do we think we are raising the next Tiger Woods? No. But, we have just found another great way to spend time together as a family.
