Griffin Welling Barrows reported in at 8 pounds 8 ounces, and 20 inches long, and is the son of Baywood Greens head golf professional Brian Barrows and his wife Jennifer. Grandmom JoJo Barrows and Granddad (Rehoboth Beach Country Club head pro) Ron Barrows, are also deeply proud of the newest addition to the family.
