First was the driving range with unlimited balls. Sam actually hit really well that day. They were going long and straight.
Next was the chipping game. This was not so enjoyable, since the "balls" were these weird plastic things, you were not allowed to hit from the grass, and the guy was giving a bit too much instruction.
Next was the putting challenge. It was a little bit of fun, once they figured out how to navigate the obstacles. This was not any sort of organized contest. You just hit the balls through the obstacles for about 5-10 minutes.
Finally was the DJ area where various kids were trying to chip the plastic pieces into a dinosaur's mouth. There weren't very many statioins here, so Sam never got a chance to try this.
They hung around at the end for the raffle drawing. There were only about 15-20 people left, and they were only giving prizes if people were present, so they figured their odds were pretty good. There were about a dozen prizes. Lance and Michael (friends from Cub Scouts who were there) each won a prize. And pretty much everyone else. But no luck for Dad and Sam this time. They got a free drink cozy and squeeze ball, and of course most of all were some good memories and time spent together.
All in all, this event was about a C+. But it was free and the weather was nice.
