Golf, Skiing/Snowboarding

My family and I have been participating in all three for as long as I can remember. My wife Megan is a very strong golfer, shoots lower than me sometimes, whom also skis and snowboards. My 13 year old son is a active golfer but prefers skiing. He is wonderful at both though. My eight year old loves all three but hasnt quite navigated to one of them more than the the others. GIve it time. I personally prefer just watching the progression of their talents and the the changing of their unique, outstanding personalities. I am the definition of a wealthy man and I'm not referring to finances. Family is everything and I am blessed with an exceptional one.
