Mid-September, we let Roen skip school on Friday and played in the men's Matchplay Tournament. It was a 3 day tournament and his GHIN score had him in the top flight, seeded number one. He was playing against several really good (men) golfers and was pumped. You know Roen, he loves a good challenge!
The little toot went out, won all his matches, and won the whole thing! I honestly couldn't believe it! I got to follow along on Friday and Saturday, but since Remi and I went to church, he was solo on Sunday. Micah was also playing in this tournament, but he was in a lower flight. He took home 3rd in his flight (yay!). And you know he hated not being able to watch!
I kid you not, that clubhouse was full of old men watching the live scoring, cheering Roen on! It was pretty cute! It really was so much fun and Roen loved every minute! I think mixing some of these 'for fun' tournaments into his schedule is something he appreciates!
This is the BEST!! Congratulations to Roen! Congratulations to Micah too!! I can only imagine how much fun it was in the clubhouse. Oh to have been a fly on the wall. 🤗
