Golfing with a Giant

Brendan got to participate in a golf tournament today at work. He sent this photo to my cell phone so it was really small and hard to really see the details. I thought to myself, "What's that giant cardboard cutout of a guy doing in the photo?" When I asked him about it he replied, "That's Shawn Bradley. He's 7'6"!" HOLY COW!!! It's an acual person!! Brendan looks tiny next to him. He's not a small guy at 6'2" and just over 200 lbs but man.......These big guys are all dwarfed by him! Can you imagine trying to swing at a little ball on the ground from that high up?

Brendan had a great time, a great lunch, and got to spend the day with great friends! They called their tournament "The Boys of Steel." He came home with a new golf shirt and a very nice tan!! He was home for just a few minutes and then took Jake out to hit some balls in preparation for our ward's Father's Day tournament tomorrow. He and Jake are on a team together and are really excited.

I'm obviously missing something because I really don't understand why golf is so much fun, but I'm glad he and Jake have a passion that they enjoy together.
