any quality time you can spend with your son take it. Unfortunately the only interest my Dad and I shared was being workaholics. I fished, bowled,played football,baseball,basketball,hiked and my Dad worked,worked and worked. When I grew up and started working, I found myself just like him. Work,work,play,work work. As much as I love telling everyone that I am my Fathers son. Had his habits and hairline, or lack of, it turned out that we had very little time together. I did pick up some things from him that have been a blessing, especially from the 20 years he spend on the volunteer first aid squad that have allowed me to help others in emergencies and other basic first aid needs, but not any quality time together.
I say enjoy the moments you have together, be it on the golf course, at a ball game or at the track. Also, talk to him man to man. If you have not been able to spend quality time with your son, maybe this is his way of trying to spend time with you, by trying to take an interest in what you like to do. Above all, if he is truly interested in learning the game, then take him to the track, show him the ropes, the beautiful animals and all the sport has to offer but also make sure he sees the dirt bags that hang out at most of the tracks and make sure he understands that it could be him some day.
