After years of asking... Jake finally got his wish. We sent him to the driving range for golf lessons. If you look closely... he is wearing his Sunday Tiger woods red shirt.These are my favorite Jake comments for the day...
I'm going to be better then Tiger!
I'm going to be a golfer for my job.
I hit the ball 100 yards all the way to the flag...
I hit the tee before the ball.
Mom, I showed the older kid how to hit the ball and he did better!
I need a pitching wedge and a putting wedge.
I wish I could golf all day.
I am going to play Uncle Ryan and beat him.
If I play Tiger and win I could make a million dollars and I would by a big house with a golf course in the back yard!
This is Jake's full finish swing!
Practicing his putting!
This is Jake's coach. 
After practice the coach came up to me and said...
This is Jake's coach. After practice the coach came up to me and said..."He's a natural, has he taken any golfing lessons before?"
My response to him... " If you count Tiger Woods 2005 XBOX game, then yes he has."
He laughed and was surprised. He then looked me straight in the eye and said...
"Keep him in the game, he is a natural, at the age of 10 he can join the Jr. PGA Tour"
As a parent, who wouldn't love to hear that about their kid.
ME......ME........ME!!!!!
The next week the same coach came up to me and said...
" We are going to give him the nick name of Tiger, he's a natural..
I'll be watching for him in the future, in High School, College and the US Open."
The cool thing is , is that Jake loves the game... seriously if I have to ground him we take away the clubs... I'm proud of him and I love to watch him swing those clubs!
Any one daring enough to take on "Tiger"?

That is awesome! Tell Jake he rocks!!! How cool to find out what he REALLY loves so early!
Alecia is taking golf from the same place, but hasn't gained the love for it Jake has. I think she assumed she was taking a miniature golf class with the cool course (even though she sat through her brothers taking the same class last year). She was a little let down. :-(
Way to go 'Tiger'! I'm guessing mom's feeling pretty proud right now. (you actually said you were proud, didn't you?) :) Can't wait to be there cheering him on in the PGA tour. "Jake, remember your Aunt Terri when you're famous." x0x0x
