The Next Lodewicus Theodorus Oosthuizen

Once again, I realize it has been way too long since I've posted anything here. But, in my defense, we were back in the States for 5 weeks visiting the grandmas, who are probably the only ones who care about these blog posts anyways!! But now we are back and fully recovered and back in the normal swing of things, so here goes...

Justus' latest obsession (besides "big doors opening" - yes, he is obsessed with garage doors opening and closing) is GOLF. This could not make Travis any prouder, I'm sure! When we were back in Colorado, he got to go to the Columbine Country Club practice green a few times with Trav to put his new plastic mini-clubs to good use. He could have done this all day (and he does now that we are home, where he also has a set of these clubs).

His favorite place to set the ball up was about 1 inch from the hole...that way he could make it in every time! What a little smartie!
I'm pretty sure his golf swing is already way better than mine will ever be. He looks like a pro with his follow-through!
While most golfers try to avoid hitting their balls in the sand, this was one of Justus' favorite places to be...mainly just because he liked picking up and throwing the sand.
But he was polite enough to rake up his mess before leaving!
All of this golfing in Colorado was then topped off with our return home and the start of the Open Championship here in St. Andrews. Trav was working at the Open so Justus and I went down every day for at least a few hours to watch.
This has officially solidified the obsession.
Now, at home, he will use anything to hit his golf balls across the room. His sword, his hammer, his horse-on-a-stick, he even used a mini colored pencil the other day!! The kid is crazy. Gotta love it!
