All our stuff is gone, and the kids have nothing to do. I found out that the base was offering golf club/ lessons for kids the last two weeks before we left. I called and reserved them a spot. The golf club included golf clubs for all the kids, and it was three hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday for two weeks. We had absolutely nothing else, other then going to the pool, so the girls were excited about learning how to play golf. The Rusts also joined in the lessons, so they were even more excited to have friends join them. It was actually Holly that told me about the lessons, Thank you Holly!
All the kids had fun and the instructors really did an amazing job with all the kids. They spent time at the driving range practicing their swings. There were a few old men that would sit back and give the kids pointers. I'm not sure if they were part of the lessons or not, but they helped the girls so much. I think they were just avid golfers with nothing to do but love the sport.
The very last lesson was the day before we left. We literally loaded a bus to the airport 17 hours after they were done with their last day. Instead of a lesson on the last day, they had a golf tournament. I brought Monster and came to watch the game. They had the course all set up for the kids and we started on hole 10.
All the kids took their turn, and I was surprised at how well they all did. Golf isn't a very exciting sport to watch, poor Monster kept asking if we could leave. You can see M&M, Little A and Big Sis all ready to go.
After the tournament, we all went back to the club house for awards and food. They fed everyone a hotdog and chips lunch with a nice cold soda. They also gave the kids certificates of achievement and completion and a golfer towel. All the girls were excited to learn the sport and asked if we can play in Germany. After lunch, we put the golf clubs in their boxes, along with the certificates and towels, and went straight to the mail box to mail them to ourselves in Germany.
