Played with my son tonight. He is one month shy of his 10th birthday. For the first time ever he gave me a real run for my money. The way we play is I play the tips, he plays the par 3s from the front tees, par 4s from between 150 to 185 yards and par 5s from 325.
I got off to a rough start and shot a 43 on the front nine. Jr. started to find a groove and shot a 45 on the front.
After nine I held a 2 stroke lead. For the next five holes he matched me shot for shot. On the 15th hole a par five I found trouble off the tee and ended up making bogey. Jr. teed off from 325 yards and reached the green in regulation and drained a 25 foot putt for birdie and a 2-shot swing to tie the match.
On 16 I parred to Jr.'s bogey. On 17 I three-putted for bogey and Jr lipped ut a birdie putt and tapped in for par.
After 17 holes we were tied. Unfortunately Jr had a blow up hole on the 18th for a tripple and I made par.
On the back nine I shot a 38 and Jr ended up shooting a 39.
Jr shot an 84 to my 81 today at nine years old and gave me a real run for my money. It was a great day.
