FORE!!

Quinn played in his PGA Professional Ability Test (PAT) yesterday. Below are the 3 others that were in his group. He told me about his day and about the other guys who were pros at golf courses in the state, and then there was him. Each of them had taken golf lessons and had been golfing serious since they were kids...and then, once again, there was Quinn, whose only lessons have been taking video of his swing in our garage.

In order to become a PGA Professional the 1st step is to shoot a score of 75 at a golf course, in order to qualify. I was soo impressed, when he called me afterwards, to hear he was able to shoot a 69 and easily qualify. On top of that, he tied for 3rd place out of 40 in his round, with the winner shooting 66.

As for now, he is not sure if he wants to become a professional. Especially when our Stake President, who is a golf pro and owner of a local golf course, has counseled Quinn that a pro is so busy running the course that he rarely gets time to play, which is what Quinn really likes to do. Besides that, our Stake President says it costs about $10,000 to become fully certified.

Right now, Quinn has gotten so good so fast that he still is thinking about what he could do if he actually focused on golf more than what he is now doing. I don't know what the future holds for Quinn, but to see him succeed to this level, in something HE is so passionate about, makes me so proud of him. If only I had this much passion and drive about something! Way to go honey!!
