SAM AND ANNIKA: FUTURE SCRAMBLERS

Hi fellow Igolot golf game lovers!

I'm so excited to share these pictures I took 5 months ago when my kids, suddenly, showed their first "golf forms"(using an "aklo" as a club) while playing in their toy room. I play with them daily in our back yard and they see/watch me practice my chipping into an "improvised" green.
Now, I would ask them to "play golf," or "show golf form" and they would put their hands together and execute the swing.

Just sharing----the joy of a golfing Dad...
You all take advantage of the nice golfing weather!

RUSSIA LEI WITH BRUNO AND SHAR PEI PUPS IN PLAY ME Vid By Neil Diamond

Russia Lei, Bruno, shar pei pups Baileys and Brunei

For sometime Bruno, half sharpei, half bulldog stayed with us here in Brent. He is Clarence's pet dog, but we got him here as the kids promised that they would take care of him. Then Louie took him to Manila in the middle of 2007 to mate with his pitbull named Aiko. They produced 5 puppies. While waiting for a home, we got 2 puppies and I named them Baileys and Brunei.

Bruno is now in Dizon and the puppies have new owners. Bruno, certainly was a good dog. And he has a good friend, Rus.
