The first of many more

Just a chip and a putt away.
As Summer Days dwindle down to a precious few, it's time to test Emily's new-found golfing skills in a real-world setting, not just on a practice green or driving range. Emily has had private lessons, but this would be her first time on a real golf course.
The soon-to-be third grader took full advantage of the 9-hole WatersEdge Course today, even squeezing Grandpa over to take the golf cart steering wheel for a time on No. 6. A veteran of thrill rides in a variety of amusement parks, the steep hills and valleys proved to be no big deal, as she gunned the little cart across the fairway.
Grandpa was pleased with the outing. Golf etiquette (be respectful, repair your divots and no yelling) was mixed in with an occasional pointer (keep your head still). It was a fun morning for both, and they agreed it should be repeated time and again.

No, Grandpa did not let her drive by herself.
