Bonding With Dad #Pricelessgolf #MC
Do you ever consider the moments in your life that are priceless? Something that’s so precious or important to you, you’d never give it up for any price? I’d have to say most of mine have come since having children. Now, with our move, I’m experiencing priceless moments that have made my life amazing! So, check out what’s about to happen with me and my dad!
It’s interesting how golf has become part of our lives. It actually came out of nowhere. I had played a round of golf and actually ended up really enjoying it. My boys’ grandpa would take them to the driving range in the spring and summer. Now I’m dating Fred and he really enjoys golf. Turns out his dad has worked off and on at different golf courses throughout his retirement. In fact, Fred, his son and his dad are going to be spending Father’s Day golfing.
Well, a couple of years ago, my dad added golf to his life…GOLF! lol If you knew my dad, you would’ve made the same face as me when you heard this. Listen, my dad is…was…a motorcycle riding, smoking, kick back drink a beer kind of guy. I’m not sure if the change happened at the same time, but he bought a Mazda Miata, too! I’d say “mid-life crisis” but he’s in his 60s! hahahaha
Now, he goes out almost every Sunday with a couple of his buddies and spends the day golfing! He wears tropical print shirts and wears those straw-type golfing hats. It’s seriously the craziest thing to witness, but it’s so cool!
Last year my mom got him a golf pro gift certificate for his birthday! I got him a big pack of golf balls and my brother got him a gift certificate to a golf store! To say that golf has taken over at my house, is to not put it into words properly. Oh, and did I mention weekends are spent watching golf? hahahaha Definitely something I never expected from my dad! And if we’re not watching golf, there are always the stack of magazines under the coffee table.
So, dad’s birthday is right around the corner and so is a MasterCard Experience waiting for him! He has no idea! My brother and his best friend went to the AT&T National last year and loved it! This year, I get to surprise my dad with this awesome experience! Did you know that MasterCard has an amazing partnership with the PGA Tour at pricelessgolf.com?
I’ve had a MasterCard for almost two years now. I’ve needed it because of my blogging and I use it for business. It’s become the card I go to most because it can be used everywhere and not only that, it’s clear that there are exciting benefits to being a card member! And those Priceless moments aren’t for only here in the United States. It extends around the world!
If you could have a MasterCard Priceless Experience, what would you love to do?
What an awesome surprise! If I could have a MasterCard experience, I would want to go to Disney World :) Never been!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great time, such fun!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh... I'd love to go on an excursion in Alaska with my hubby. He has dreamed about Alaska for years... he would be over the moon!
ReplyDeletei can't wait to hear how he likes his surprise!! :)
ReplyDeletewe use MC as well
This looks like fun! Hope he enjoys it! Wow! I'm a bit excited for you!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wondeful! How exciting.
ReplyDeleteI have a MC and use it for my business too and it is SO helpful! I am surrounded with golf lovers and they would LOVE this :)
ReplyDeleteHe is going to flip out!!!!! That is just so cool, Mimi!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice. I wish I have that kind of relationship with my father. I grew up with a father but he's so strict and i never felt we are loved by him. He's always mad and we were scared of him. He is so unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteGolfing is indeed a wonderful way of bonding with your loved ones

One thing my Dad and I have in common -is not golf- but RVing-- He dreams of having a lux RV like the stars travel in so I'd pick buying one of those and traveling for a year in it visiting a tourist site in every State.
ReplyDeleteaww, I am sure he will love it.
ReplyDeleteMy dad and I aren't very close these days, but I'd love to spend some one on one time with him.
ReplyDeleteOh wow what a nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! I love surprises!! I would have to say I would use the experience to take my hubby on a cruise. We have NEVER vacationed together without kids....like ever!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it will be a GREAT time for you and your dad!
ReplyDeleteI love the experiences that MasterCard helps to provide their members! AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure Dad has no idea? You just posted it on your blog.
