Amanda Learns the "Poop" Swing

Sunday just happened to be Father's Day. But even more importantly it was Judy's birthday - and a fairly remarkable one at that. So we got the family together for a little golf outing at one of our favourite places - Blue Springs in Acton, Ontario.

This was the first time we'd all been golfing together in quite a few years. And it was definitely the first time we'd played with Peter's kids, Alex, Amanda, and Nicole. So it was a special day in more ways than one.

In fact it was the first time on a real course for Amanda and Nicole. They've both been taking lessons at the local "golf academy", so this was a chance to see how they would do.

We split up into three groups (we were playing the 9 hole par 3 course) and I was with Amanda and Scott.

The first thing I noticed about Amanda's swing is that she could actually hit the ball. Wow! That's quite an accomplishment. Of course she'd learned that big John Daly like swing that instructors like to encourage kids to use. But she was actually hitting the ball with it - something that always amazes me about kids and golf balls.

Of course it didn't take long before I felt I should show her the little partial pitch swing. "Just take it back about here, and hit the ball...'poop' like that..."

My choice of words maybe wasn't the best, but it stuck. The next time I said "you should probably use that little 'poop' swing here..." Amanda cracked "Ok, but do I have to say 'poop'...?"

Of course. It wouldn't be a 'poop' swing if you didn't.
