Actually I think it might be called totem tennis and I miss named it? It’s a pole you stick into the lawn with a tennis ball on a long string attached to the top on a spiral so it spins around when you hit it. You get a couple of bats with it and you can play solo or with two people.

ooh I see, had one of those as a kid too and there were fights :)
I’m finding the cheapo manual auger I got ages ago has made doing clean holes in tough ground a lot easier. Surprisingly seems to be getting more and more use. Could be worth a thought.
An auger 🤔 I feel like we’ve probably got one somewhere… or is it an awl I’m thinking of? I think I’m remembering we have an awl for making holes in leather etc. Geez, a couple of weeks with no work and I feel like my brain’s turning to mush lol 🚫💡
totem tennis and it’s great fun

Yeah I misremembered the name. Doing that a bit lately whilst not working. Apparently working in a factory keeps me sharp. God help me 🤦🏼♀️

I’d never call it that, and IRL would probably jovially correct anyone who called it that, but at the same time, I wouldn’t be confused if I heard/read it. I’d know what you mean
