Teeing off Together

When I met Matt 27 years ago, he was big into golf.  His mom was the bookkeeper at the Ozark Country club so he got the privilege of playing the course out there often.  
Life kicked in once we got married and brought Gracie home and he hasn't played much.
I took lessons about 20 years ago with some girlfriends for fun and that's pretty much where it ended. 
Last summer, Matt started slowly getting back in and Gracie hit golf camp and fell in love with the game.  I decided to give it another chance and found that I really enjoyed it myself and we have a lot of fun playing as a family.  
This past Spring, Matt graduated Purdue, treated himself to some new clubs and our family joined a local club.  
Lily Grace and I were treated to private lessons for much of this spring and early summer.  We have had the best time doing this together.  Our coach, Suzanne is wonderful.  She is a very decorated LPGA player but more than that, she is genuinely nice, patient and wants more than anything for you to have fun with the game of golf.  Our last lesson with the three of us took place this past Sunday evening where we played the course with Suzanne.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  
Gracie and I have really enjoyed doing this together over the past 6 weeks.  We've learned a lot, helped each other and had a few laughs along the way.  
Gracie is going to keep taking private lessons from Suzanne and I'm going to put into practice all that I have learned.  
Matt, thank you so much for treating Gracie and I to that time together.  Thank you for working so hard for our family.  Thanks also for surprising me with a new set of TaylorMade Kalea's.  I still can't believe you got those for me and I am loving them.  They definitely beat my starter set.  
Gracie thanks for suggesting that we do this together.  I enjoyed every minute of it with you!!!
