The pair often share their day-to-day life at home as a family with their fans.

Yesterday, Brian took to Instagram to post some stunning snippets of their wholesome weekend spent together.

The family-of-four went to the playground together and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a cafe afterwards.

Blake looked like she had a blast as she climbed up the jungle gym, flew down the slide and yapped on the phone while sitting at the restaurant.

The two-year-old wore an adorable cream knit jumper that said “little explorer” on the front, brown leggings and a Micky Mouse green and cream puffer jacket.

Brian and Arthur sectioned off her hair into four plaits and tied them into little buns.

While Blu cuddled into her dad wearing a cream knit jumper with a strawberry on the back and a blue knit hat.

Brian captioned his post: “Thank you, St Bridgid, as this Bank Holiday Weekend was CERTAINLY needed!!!

It’s been FULL ON in the Dowling Gourounlian Household since January 2nd.

Myself & @gourounlian are DEFINITELY NOT COMPLAINING as we are so blessed to be doing what we are doing.

But today, it was just so nice to be able to press pause on everything & spend the whole day together as a FAMILY.

PATIENCE is key people, especially when dealing with Arthur.”

FAN FAVES

Arthur added: “I mean, what an eventful day. I think I’ll be in bed by 8:30pm, that’s for sure.”

The family’s friends and fans all loved their pictures and raced to the comment section with praise.

Elizabeth wrote: “Just adorable – enjoy your day.”

Aisling said: “Blake’s so funny she just brightens up my day.”

Bernadette commented: “Beautiful girls, bless them.”

Another fan added: “She’s hilarious on that phone.”

Padraig Harrington questions ‘strangest’ PGA Tour ‘Monday Q’ decision ahead of Waste Management Phoenix Open

GOLF legend Padraig Harrington has questioned the PGA Tour’s decision to scrap Monday qualifying for seven of its tournaments on the 2025 schedule.

Harrington reckons the decision is one of the strangest the tour could make

Monday qualifying (often called a ‘Monday Q’) is an official process on the PGA Tour.

It is a structured pathway for non-exempt players to earn a spot in the field for select PGA Tour events.

One of those events happens to be this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open.

The event which attracts hundreds of thousand through its gates had ‘Monday Q’ for the past 70 years, but now that is a thing of the past with the tour’s latest eligibility criteria change.

And 2024 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Padraig Harrington is less than impressed with the change.

There have been five Monday qualifier winners since 1980.

Dubliner Harrington called the decision strange before saying that it takes away potential fairy tale stories.

Taking to X, the three-time major winner stated: “This has to be one of the strangest decisions of the PGA Tour when it comes to being in the entertainment business.

“If it was up to me I’d be focusing more on Monday qualifiers. There’s a movie script story nearly every week.

“I’d give the leading qualifier a tv draw and get a tv crew to follow him for the week.

“I would do this even more so in the signature events. We could have a “tin cup” story any given week.

“Could you imagine a struggling pro finishing in the top 10 and winning half a million. Nobody would begrudge that payout.”

How Monday Qualifying Works:

  • Open to professionals and amateurs with a USGA handicap index of 2.0 or lower.
  • Typically held the Monday before a PGA Tour event (except for majors, invitationals, and certain designated events).
  • Four spots are usually available for each tournament.
  • 18-hole stroke play format, with the lowest scores securing entry.
  • Administered by the PGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, and PGA Tour Canada/Latinoamérica.

All Monday Qualifier winners Since 1980

  • Corey Conners, 2019 Valero Texas Open
  • Arjun Atwal, 2010 Wyndham Championship
  • Fred Wadsworth, 1986 Southern Open
  • Kenny Knox, 1986 The Honda Classic
  • Jeff Mitchell, 1980 Phoenix Open
