James' Dad is a golfer. Both of my folks are golfers, too. So, shouldn't our ladies be golfers?

James' Dad found a camp for kids ages 9-11 who want to learn the game of golf, so he signed them up. For four days, in the heat of the sun, Rachel and Samantha were out on the links learning the art of putting, driving, chiping and pitching.

There were 20 kids in their class, divided into foursomes with a coach. Of the twenty, only three were girls - two of those were Rae and Sam. They liked their coach and were excited to go to class each day. When Samantha came out of her first day's lesson, I asked her how it went. She answered, I want golf clubs for Christmas!

At the end of the week the whole group competed in driving, putting and chipping. Rachel won third in putting! Way to show those boys!

Now when the ladies write that "what did you do this summer" essay they'll have something to say that not many can - this summer, they learned to drive!
