There Are Only Winners

My son is clearly demonstrating that he has inherited my athletic prowess.  He came 2nd in a large junior golf tournament yesterday.  He drew on points with the winner but lost on the count back, or something or other.

Personally I think Henry should have won on  the small technicality of age - as he was just 10 on friday and the winner was 15.  There were 68 entrants.  

Since he has only played on a course a few times, this is a massive achievement.  The problem is that he will now get a handicap making further games harder.  Undeterred he now wants to win the next one.
Sadly he was unable to attend the award ceremony since he had tennis in the afternoon, that and the fact the steward forgot to make the promised call.  He was going to call if Henry had a placement - but there was too much chaos & organization to attend to.  Only when he stood announcing the results in-front of a crowd of about 300 (9 holers, 18 holers plus parents) did he go to say Henry, but instead announced "f..k" to all the parents.  Red faced he then explained to them that he had promised to call us in the event of a trophy.

Henry is over the moon, but cool. I am soooo proud and exceptionally gooey.
