Chandler

Chandler is a walking encyclopedia on golf and he lives to play it. If he's not practicing it, he's watching tutorials online on how to improve his game, studying clubs, balls, reading golf magazines and even play golf video games.  He's pretty much got a one tracked mind.  So it's not really surprising that he made the golf team this year.  He's loved having others to discuss and play the game with.  It hasn't been as good as a season as he's hoped, but he's changed a lot on his strokes and swings that have given him very steep learning curves.  But still at age 14 shooting an average of 41, his best score a 38, is not too bad.  He'll only improve.

Chandler's Eagle court of honor was procrastinated.  It took us six months to buckle down and get it done.  Part of that had to do with my long lists of things at the end of the Primary year and Christmas, the other part was because Chan doesn't like being the center of attention so when I could actually address it, he avoided it.  Anyway, we finally got it done in March.  It was a simple just the way he wanted it.  He gave Caleb his mentor pin.  We enjoyed family coming that day for a bit and a simple evening honoring Chandler.  He's a great kid.

Even with so much time and energy spent on golf, Chandler still makes time for his household jobs, school and scripture reading.  His favorite class in school is easily seminary, he reports.  He is getting so he is making great contributions to our family scripture study so he seems to really be enjoying that fabulous aspect of life.  He's a great and easy going kid to have around.  So thankful for him!
