Sometimes you just need to roll a practice putt to get a feel for the greens. Owen got his first *par* with an asterisk today! 

Smoked! Also, noticed the little head nod he gives to Brad before taking his shot. He's copying what Brad does to him when he has his phone ready to film haha

Owen with the three putt and legit double bogey. And then a lesson about course etiquette...

     

Brad thought he had him beat but he sounds pretty confident here. He must have forgotten about his 20-putt on the 2nd hole...

12.15.17 Ever since Owen saw his friend Cannon Poh peeing standing up, he now stands up and pees on the potty. He's not always the best aim (although he's gotten a lot better). So, I walked into the bathroom and said, "Owen, make sure you aim in the potty" and he responded, "I don't aim in the potty. I aim at the golf course."
