Golfing Oettli Boys

Jono played in the City Amateur this past weekend at Bonneville Golf Course. He played great and I loved following him on the back nine of the second day. It was perfect weather and the course is beautiful. He shot 2 over for the tourney, which is awesome. We're proud of you Jono!

(Notice the no-show socks! This has been a topic of discussion at our house for the past year. Last summer Jono noticed that none of the Jr. golfers at Bud's tourneys wore long socks, so we bought no-show socks for Bud and Coleman. When we were in Hawaii at Christmastime, Jono bought no-show socks for himself and wore them this weekend. I really like the look, and I think he does also. His ankles, however, got seriously red!)

Bud had his first tourney of the summer on the first day of summer vacation. He shot a respectable 42 for 9 holes and finished 3rd. He is very proud of his bronze metal. Just like all golfers after 8 holes of good golf, he got nervous on number 9 and ended up with a triple bogey to miss finishing second. That's golf!

Even Jr. golfers enjoy chatting about their game after the round! (They get a hotdog, chips and drink with the entry fee.) I have to write that I love golf so much; I think it is a wonderful, lifelong sport that teaches great values and keeps you healthy. I just don't want to play it myself!
