What can I say about Carr Golf’s Father-Daughter at Rosapenna in Ireland? There’s a lot to say. And share. But for this post, it’s all about Kaili, “Bug,” “Buggy.” Hard to play in a Father-Daughter without a daughter. And so, to Kaili, what I say is: Thank you! Thank you for making the time and the trip. For being so patient and supportive of a dad/“Padre” who couldn’t break an egg. Find a fairway. Get out of that nasty bunker. Or make a putt when it mattered. Thank you for the snacks you packed in my bag, although I’m not sure I deserved them. Thank you for having such a great attitude, making new friends and being open to things like jumping in the cold water while dodging the jellyfish. Thank you for fearlessly hitting chip shots in front of large crowds even though the last time you played a full 18 holes was at the Father-Daughter in 2023.

Thank you for the positive energy and never giving up, even though the rough was ROUGH and winds were WINDY. You had style, grace, perseverance, determination and fun! (Sound familiar? You reminded me a lot of your Mama, who would’ve been just as proud of you as I was.) Most importantly, thank you for being YOU! Which is simply amazing. Can’t wait for next year.
