This was our second time at Golfway Mini-golf course, here in Pune. The last time, Akshara was too small to stand on her own and attempt the game. This time around, she was too old for us to expect her to just watch while we played! She wanted a club and a ball for herself. She actually looked quite comfortable with it with the only problem that she thought she was playing cricket with a bat and a ball.
So, i took the effort to “teach” her the basics of golf and even got her to hit the ball with the club. After having given her suficient practice, i took her to one of the straight-forward holes, placed the ball a foot away from the hole and gave the following instruction (translated) : “Akshara, hit the ball into this hole”. You can see in the pictures below as to how she accomplished this task with ease! She even clapped (and expected me to clap) after she completed the said activity.
