  1. 1. What do you think of miniature golf?

    • I'd like to bring my Scotty & ProV1x. The ones they provide have no feel
      11
    • It's a kids game
      9
    • It brings shame upon the great game
      0
    • It's good practice in case I come across a windmill on the course
      10
    • I built a course in my back garden!
      0
    • I don't like their idea of dress codes
      2

I usually play putt-putt about two or three times a year, usually with female friends for fun. Last few times I have taken my putter and a Nike One Platinum to use except on the 18th where the ball disappears when holed out.

We just took my neice and nephew out to the driving range and then to mini golf afterwards. Heck yeah I bring my own putter . . . and then proceed to putt with one hand, or putt like a pool cue. Of course if we hadn't brought our clubs for the range I would have just used the cheap putters they have there and done just as badly! No windmills but we had a Fankenstein and a bear to butt through, among others! I can't believe how many people I saw in Cargo Shorts! Slackers!

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

I like mini golf. Its a great way to practice your putting and it helps you to be more creative in terms of shot selection.
I usually use my own putter, never thought to use my own ball though.

My kids like it so we go about once a month or so. One place in town is $2 for ages 13 and up and $1 for ages 5-12, so the whole family goes and it is only $7. Some places are $5-6 a person so we stay away from them. My kids have fun with it and it is cheap way to get out of the house for an hour or two.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

When I've seen it on TV they had a hole in one on most of the holes. I played with my girlfriend once and got spanked....well I should say beat....well...

Anyway I could never get used to the rubber coated head, and she had no reference point of what a putt should feel like. It was a little emasculating.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon

      It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
