Brittany Lincicome made the shot of her life on Sunday which led to her fantastic victory at the Dinah Shore, but she’s got nothing on the little golf chicks I played with a few hours earlier.
When Jenna got new golf clubs for Christmas, her original Snoopy set was bestowed on her sister, Kate. I’ve been wanting to play golf with them since then and we finally got together for a golfchick round. It was a gorgeous day for golf. Jenna and Kate were the stars of the show while their mother and I simply filled out the foursome.
Jenna’s new Acculength golf clubs are specially designed for junior players. The only expandable clubs in the world, they will grow with her for several seasons so she can learn the game with a properly fitted set.
They come in plenty of colors for boys and girls, but this golf chicklet is a pink panther in the making, so naturally she got the pink set. Jenna especially loves her driver, which she used on the tee, in the fairway, from the rough and even in the bunkers. Okay, so we need to work on that, but Paula Creamer better watch her back.
Her Snoopy clubs were adorable, but way too small for her these days. Perfect for Kate, though. Kate spent more time thinking and talking about Webkinz than playing golf, but she got some swings in with Snoopy, Woodstock and Charlie Brown.
It was a uniquely enjoyable round and I look forward to playing with them again. I’d like for it to become a frequent occurrence so I can watch (and take part in) the development of their games and knowledge of the rules and etiquette surrounding it. Kate may not have the interest or focus on the sporting aspect right now, but while her attention span lasted – almost the entire round – she enjoyed the social aspect and the walk in the park. Jenna, on the other hand, really seems keen on the golf itself. Her frustration at less-than-stellar shots was adorably grown up and I think she’s got some competitive fire in there.
As if the privilege of golfing with them wasn’t enough, at the end of the round they gave me these custom creations as a parting gift. Thanks, little golf chicks!
