Toad is completely and totally head over heals for golf. He LOVES to golf. Whenever we go to my parents house for the afternoon, he immediately finds my brother and talks him into pulling out his set of clubs. My cute brother will sit for hours and putt around the front lawn with Toad. He loves it.
For Toady’s birthday, I wanted to find him some sort of golf club set that he could use here at our house. He has been using baseball bats, sticks, brooms and even my wooden spoons. He will hit just about anything to get a hole in one.
Well, I have to hand it to my family this year. They really took it up a notch. My brother donated a couple of his golf clubs to the cause. My dad cut them down to size and then dipped them in some sort of a solution that makes a rubberized coating on metal. I KNOW! AWESOME!
Then… they bought him the real deal when it comes to practice balls. A full bucket of foam practice balls. I wish that my camera had been working that day. He spent the whole evening putting around the front yard. I have to admit, my very favorite gifts are those that are heartfelt, well thought out and homemade! They get an A+ in my book!
Thanks family for being so thoughtful and for putting so much work into Toad’s gift!

What a truly amazing family you have, Darce! I only wish my own were so functional and numerous as yours! (Seriously, Dr. Phil would have a field day with us!)
Before I finished reading and saw Toadie in the first photo I already had my comment forming in my mind. I was going to tell you that you should hit some garage sales, they're a great source for random putters and golf clubs for about $1 apiece! But then your rad brother & dad had to one-up me and miniaturize some of his own personal ones and that is what separates the men from the ladies! ;^)
That's so cute 🙂 What a great gift!
