Some years ago, I went to a little minigolf place with a friend during the summer. After three or four times playing the 18 holes, I had somewhat of a miracle straight…
I ended up going through the route with 36 putts. The scoring board gave guidelines about under 35 being pro level, 35-44 advanced amateur, 45-54 medium amateur, and so forth. My previous best was about 60 before that.
Large amounts of luck were involved here, of course. There were even a few holes where I had no idea what kind of shot you’d want to aim for from the different choices, but still got the first shot in. Some of them I’d very likely fail to reproduce 99 times out of a hundred.

i actually learnt to play golf, and putting (precise strokes within the green with a putter) is what mini golf is all about. but actually i don’t like putting, i usually like to get the ball as close to the hole as i can without putting!
perhaps that’s why i developed such an excellent approach game, meaning i was good at approaching the green, in order not to have to putt much
(you scream fore!! on a long shot when you’re not sure, or damn sure it might hit someone)

Frannie Girl is heading off with her hubby for a few hours of relaxation.
Ok I have absolutely NO aspirations to play normal golf well or even badly. Mini golf however I love, but quite frankly I suck at it. I would like to go and be able to hit it into the hole without having to try 10 times. LOL. My husband enjoys going but his idea of playing mini golf is seeing how hard he can hit the windmill propeller as it whirls around. LOL. So This is my goal…...to not sink it into that nasty little puddle that somebody dropped their gum into. To not have to go balance on the rock or elephant statue and edge of the mini green and try to sink it while trying not to slip off and break my neck. To not pop it over the edge of the mini green and nearly take out the 85 year old granny who brought her 6 grandchildren out for a day of fun. I know they are simple and basic things…...but Tiger Woods look out!!!! LOL ;p
