Logan has been taking golf lessons (1 class so far) and he’s really pumped about them…at least for now. So much so that he wanted to practice in the basement. We shot over to Dick’s Sporting Goods after school today to see if we could find some “basement approved” practice balls. I thought it would also be useful to have one of the mats they use in class (or at least something to use as a tee), but the mats were sadly $25 and I’m not ready to spend that knowing Logan’s class history. While at Dick’s, I remembered a carpet remnant we have in the basement and thought maybe I could get a small piece of pvc pipe and put it through the carpet to make a nice little tee. Right after that thought, I turned around and found a set of three plastic driving range tees for $4…now that’s what I’m talking about!

Here is this day’s creation:

I used a sharp pair of scissors to poke a hole in the back of the carpet and stuck the tee through.

Logan taking swings in the basement: He recently got the little green pail from Ella’s birthday party and it makes the most perfect ball container! As you can see, this is his back swing. I would like to say it was a practice swing…you know, before he stepped up to the tee…but he has only taken 1 lesson so…
