Last weekend we went to a fun park in Tempe called Fiddlesticks and played miniature golf and hit balls at the batting cages. Afterwards we went and had dinner at Olive Garden and then went back to the park to meet up with some friends from our ward Mark and Rachel to hit golf balls at the driving range. It was really fun! It took me a while to get the hang of it and I definitely missed way more times than I actually hit the ball. But I had a few good drives that my Dad and brother Jeff would be proud of. Bud on the other hand is a natural at sports. He can hit, throw and kick a ball further than anyone I've ever met. We probably hit over 200 balls that night and had a blast doing it. Here are a bunch of pictures that Mark took.
The expert (well kind of) ;)
An attempt to hit the ball
If you look closely you can see I just barely knocked it off the tee.
Miseed again
He launched it
Bud explaining to me that it's "all in the hips"...Riiiight...
Missed again
Preparing mentally for the next attempt
Bud launches another one
...I miss again
The pull back...(check out that stance) ;)
The swing...
...and it's GONE!! Ya! Woohoo! I finally did it!
Here's the whole gang after we were done...apparently I need more sleep...check out the bags under my eyes. Sheesh!!

I hate driving ranges. I think you and I would make quite the comical pair trying to golf together.
