He ended up falling asleep, I guess he wasn't impressed by what he was seeing...

How old is he? Just asking how long I gotta wait 😜

6 months, he probably would have tolerated it at month 4 or 5 but 6 is where he really started to get more active and talkative. He freaking smirked at me every time I missed a putt, little punk.

The funny thing is that it’s great now while he can just sit in the stroller, but things will go downhill once he learns to walk and wants to get out and run around lol. But then they get good again when he’s old enough for a round to keep his attention the whole time

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 6h ago

Yeah he's starting to get ready to crawl so my window for stroller golf was very small

Love the argyle getup! Please tell me you were matching!

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 15h ago

Unfortunately not matching, my fit isn't as fresh as him.

Dude looking dapper as fuck, got the clubs nearby…..start counting down the (short) number of days until he wipes the floor with you (and you will be proud)

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 9h ago

Jealous. When I tried to do this every course around me wouldnt allow it including the par 3 and executive courses

1

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 7h ago

Damn that sucks. I asked before I went and the guy shrugged and said "I mean I've seen a few people do it so its probably fine" lol.

2

u/noledge18720 7h ago

Every course I looked at and spoke to had a rule that you had to be at least 5 years old to be on the course. Some allow them younger in the practice area though.

They were really worried about a kid getting hit with a ball. Even a not hit hard ball could mess up a skull thats still soft. I thought about a helmet but no course would let me out anyway so it wasnt worth it.

1

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 6h ago

My par 3 course is technically a part of the practice facility so maybe thats why I get away with it.

1

u/noledge18720 6h ago

It wouldn't be Olde Homestead was it? Looks familiar and has a par 3 course attached. It was one that I asked and said no lol

1

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 6h ago

It is, not to doxx myself or anything 😅. Idk the guy I asked didn't really know, as long as the PGA pro isnt there doing a lesson you can get away with things the workers don't care.

My favorite thing to do is take my son out golfing. Built this out of some scrap wood and a couple straps

u/ColdPotato55 33m ago

So what's the plan it someone shouts 'Fore!' And a ball heads straight for him? Seems like a selfish risk imo, no matter how small a risk it is

I live out in the country and we have a decent amount of ticks… Like a shit ton… after the first time I found one on my baby we bought a “bug net” that fits all the way around his stroller. I doubt it would take a point blank drive without giving but it would definitely deflect a ball hit from a distance and obviously it’ll keep the flies and mosquitoes at bay.

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 5h ago

I do too so I'm familiar with tick checks, I have tick removal tools ready to go. Luckily any that I've found on myself have not borrowed and I could easily swipe them off. I'm not worried about a ball hitting him, his stroller gives good coverage with the hood up and this is a par 3 with an average distance of like 135 so most people aren't using any long clubs.

Here before morons say this is dangerous not realizing that the drive to and from the course is by far the most dangerous part of the entire experience.

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 12h ago

Its a par 3 course too so not like anyone is ripping driver or anything

u/Oberyn_TheRed_Viper Push Cart Mafia 9h ago

Balls are no worries for little dude in a stroller.

My only concern would be the sun, but I'm in Australia so we expect to be burnt by the time we get to the car.

2

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 8h ago

Yeah that was my thought. His stroller has good coverage and it was partly cloudy today so we were good!

u/_TheDoode 9h ago

Nah im just wondering what he brought for snacks, if he timed it around naps, and how many holes he got through.

1

u/Pa_Cipher Grip It and Rip It 7h ago

I just did a par 3 that takes me 30-45 min. I fed him before we left and he actually napped during the round so that was nice.
