Way to go, pops!

Good thing the little guy got his mothers looks!

Congrats, and sorry about the sleep deprivation.

Anthony,
   Congratulations. Nothing that will ever happen on a golf course will even approach the joy of being a parent. Enjoy the journey, it is the greatest blessing you will ever have.

Anthony:

Congratulations but I've gotta say William Otis looks sorta pissed off in the first photo----is it for any reason you or mom knows of like one of the doctors or nurses insulted the architecture of your golf club? If not I might say he has too many clothes on---let the little guy loose brother---let him get naked and get down!  ;)

Congrats.

You may not play as much...but you may find yourself practicing more.

If your game does suffer, you'll be having too much fun elsewhere to notice. ;D

Anthony,

How fortunate you are to have a healthy child and mother.
That's wonderful.

However, my guess is that there will be more days this summer when you'll play golf, versus days when you will have gotten a sound and uninterupted night's sleep. ;D

Enjoy you're family, the golf courses will be there whenever you're ready.

Congratulations. Truly, golf can wait.

That's what I keep telling myself (mine are 10, 9, 7, and 6). We get out together some, a true pleasure.......

Beautiful pictures, beautiful family.

CONGRATS!!!
That is one of the best reasons to play less or not as well.
Remember that they need naps and you will too.

Don't forget to give the other half a break!

Are there baby-sized green jackets in the ANGC golf shop? Drool bibs, at least?
Congrats!

Added CONGRATS from Cleveland.

I'm sure you can't wait for the day when junior says "Dad, I want to go to the course with you to play golf!"...my 5 and 8 year olds are starting to request that very thing and it makes me feel so good that we can all go out and enjoy the day together.  You will too...

My favorite OT posts.

Congratulations, have tons of fun.

Congrats Anthony! The best reason in the world for your game to take a dive! ;D    The most rewarding experience there is. My game has taken a huge hit since my daughter has been born, and I don't regret it one bit.

Tom, this photo was taken after I told the little guy his home club, despite the fact that it has consistently ranked in the Top 40 in the world, received the same number on the Doak scale as some courses in Scotland where the head greenskeeper is a sheep... On second thought, I think it might have been right after his circumcision. :o
