Happy birthday, DAD! I love you very much!
My dad probably isn't even reading my scribble and has already navigated straight to the video clips below. When he sends me emails these days, they are always signed "From Eli & Jude's grandpa." His emails have always been among my favorite. They are so warm and encouraging and I can hear his voice as I read them. Bernie, a friend of mine back in Chicago, also loved my dad's emails and once described them to be "like hello kitty stationery" -- warm and fuzzy and in English written by a Korean. I love it. Don't you wish you could receive an email from my dad now?
Well, my dad has played golf for as long as I can remember. So I know he will appreciate the following clips. From time to time, Kwang will take Jude to the golf course across the street for some free exercise and entertainment. They will sit on a bench, watch people tee off, and clap for them. The golfers love Jude. In between groups, Jude will set up and tee off. He and Kwang will also spend some time on the practice greens. Notice in this clip how he holds his swing (as Kwang taught him to) after hitting the ball:
In this next clip, I was pretty impressed with how close he got to the pin. But what's cute to us is how he watches the ball after hitting it:
In this final golf clip, you'll see Jude making a fan. A man walks across the screen as Jude hits the ball and while it's difficult to see the man clearly, his dark complexion makes his smile very noticeable.
Eli doesn't have as many skills as his older brother, but here he is trying his hardest to dribble a ball:
My kids must be good for my health, because they make me smile and laugh all the time.

It's so obvious why your boys make you smile and laugh all the time...they're just too cute! Watch out Tiger Woods! Jude Kim is going to break some records on the PGA tour in the near future....
wow, i had trouble making contact with a golfball as an adult, so i am seriously impressed by jude's skills
future tiger on the way! he's a natural! tell kk to stop being ghetto jjah and invest in some real golf lessons for his boy! btw, have you framed the soo chang print? =) miss you guys!
your kids make me smile and laugh too. keep those pictures and clips coming!
everyone must think i'm some crazy, fanatic, sports dad (except jane chang who's crazier)...hey, i don't call jude "401" and eli "K" for nothing.
invest in golf lessons? i'm too cheap to even pay for the range for this guy. i let him tee off some btwn groups and run and pick up the balls. jude and i get kicked off the 1st tee box by the ranger 50% of the time. pretty soon jude's gonna understand what's going on.
jude can give me some golf lessons! after getting a few pointers from chu han years ago, I think I need a refresher from the infamous jude.
{in a regina king voice} crazier or whatevuh kk, still ghetto jjah! i bet you framed soo chang's print and told everyone it was an original. =P
Wow, Jude is quite the multi-talented athlete!! I love how Eli is still "dribbling" the ball with his hand although he's not making contact - too cute!
Hi Lisa! It's Lisa .. haha. Thank you SO very much for your hospitality, an AMAZING dinner this past weekend. Kwang is one lucky man! The boys are so much fun and so cute. Hopefully I can see you soon!!
Thanks for the support but no no no...performances on xanga Lisa! =P Hope you're having a good week and let's talk when I return!
Lisa...how's Eli doing? =) I bet he slept well that night...no? Have a good day! Good seeing you guys again
