golfing or racing?!?!

This little one challenged me to race...I had a gold cart so I agreed. This golf cart goes about 1 mile per hour.

no thank you GPS...

Going left at a round-a-bout is not advised. Ever.

Jason's first round of golf!!!

9 holes is just about 2.5 miles and we made it out alive with only a bit of heckling from my Dad...
