LUCAS

From Amana we went to Grinnell to see our daughter's family and our grandson. We missed him last time because of our mishap the first night, and then he was golfing out of town. Heidi invited us for dinner and we got to see some of Lucas' latest tophies.

He's played in several tournaments this summer and came in first or second in all of them. This was his latest until yesterday.

Yesterday, he shot a 41, and even though he's 11, he played with the 13 year olds, and won. the oldest kid was 14 and shot a 47, so Lucas won overall also. He has good reasons to like his new Ping clubs and new bag that he got for his birthday.

He's been beating his mother for awhile, but he's pretty proud to have beaten his dad twice in the last couple weeks. Last Saturday at Hyperion in Des Moines, he beat his dad and Steve's two friends. Good job, Lucas!!!
