get her on a travel team- and "elite" one :

Actually I think the golf industry is trying to follow baseball. Recently they started the "PGA Junior League", which is similar to little league -- a group of kids tryout and be assigned to teams based on skills and then compete with a similarly skilled team. If successful, I can see the next logical move -- travel teams, elite teams, and showcases. PG, it's time to start drawing a business plan ...

Potential new topics from this post alone:

Is the best 2u the best 17u golfer?

What exit speed should a 2u have?

Projectability out of Pre-school?

Showcase or tournaments, where will she get best attention?

High School Golf or Elite Tournament Golf?

and finally, my favorite.......

Little kids are so much fun.  Always sort of made my living watching older kids and I enjoy that. But not much that is more entertaining than watching young kids play.  The younger they are the more I enjoy watching. I actually used to stop at a local park where they had a league for first time real young kids. I would stay there for a long time when ever possible.  Those little kids would do things that were so comical it would make anyone laugh.

I know it is golf and the equipment is plastic.  But how many 2 year old girls swing like this? I hope she gets interested in sports.

 

Wow. . . that's really good!  I've known quite a few adults who can't hit a golf ball as well as that. 

This reminds me very much of my son when he was that age doing the same thing with a full back swing and follow through.  When I first saw it, it blew me away to see someone that young able to so consistently hit a golf ball (yes, plastic) off of the floor/carpet so well.   This was one of the strong clues I had that he had outstanding hand-eye coordination.   I also had a plastic/Nerf bat and ball that he would consistently hit balls tossed at him.

So, I would say it looks like your daughter has some above average talent there.  I'd bet she'll be doing very well at any sport she chooses.

  Too bad they don't let girls play football

My younger sister was 3 time AA softball CF in college. Received much softball, hoops and volleyball awards/trophies in HS. To date she likes her football trophy the best. I think she may have been first girl in state to get a punt pass and kick trophy (she placed second in her young age group locally). That was about 35 yrs ago.
