The Mini-Golf Fever Post

Mum, Dad and Jake have been in town since last weekend and have taken it upon themselves to play every put-put course along I-Drive. Every day I call to check in and find out what they are up to and more often than not the answer is “We just finished playing 2 rounds at Pirates Cove”. I’m not knocking it; I love some mini-golf. But it’s gotta take a lot of determination to be able to play that much over a short period of time. The few times I joined them everyone but me sank some very impressive hole-in-one shots, so I suppose the practice is making very close to perfect.

The Mini Golf Post

Last night Sarah and I went out to Hawaiian Rumble minigolf off of International Drive. I had a discount card left over from the service industry night party at Glo Lounge that got us in half price, so I figured we should use it. The course featured a 50ft fiberglass volcano with steam and a waterfall pouring out, as well as some other pretty cool landscaping elements. Sarah managed to send her first ball into the river and swept away on the first hole. She’d later send one flying out of the park and into the parking lot behind the course. I don’t think its because Sarah’s bad at mini-golf, moreso I blame the poor course design. Oftentimes our shots should find themselves rolling backwards towards the walls and sticking in the bricks. While it may not be the best-designed course it was a lot of fun and we had the run of the place to ourselves due to it being later on in the night. I managed to eek out a win with a hole in one on the final hole, which is pretty sweet.
