I love my Max. He turns 18 today:

Incredibly thoughtful, funny and cool gift from @stimy9 … #lindzanity

He is a piece of work.

I went back through hundreds of photos on instagram to find a few of my favorites. Photos that capture his love for life and his style.

Max is always going to have a kid streak to him. He loves competing. Here he is winning his first trophy:

When Max was a kid I took pictures of him when he slept:

When he took to golf he just loved to play:

I will take credit for getting him into golf, but his early coach and mentor Brian Smock taught him how to play and play well:

Max and his coach. The life.

Max loves music. He will likely be in the media/entertainment business. I feel it. I took Max to his first rock concert – Rush:

Next year he will be out of the house and off to school. Time flies. I will miss him, but like all millennials, he will be living at home again after college.
