Here's a more accessible past-time.

Unquestionably fun. Among my friends, I am the reigning mini golf champ. (Of course, we haven't played the summer-long tournament since 1995. But that's a technicality.)

AG/DC Jul 01 2008 10:16 AM

If I could make a living doing it, I'd design whacked out miniture golf courses.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 10:36 AM

I propose a CPF minigolf tournament

AG/DC Jul 01 2008 10:39 AM

With stakes?

In the south, it's called Putt Putt and I love it.

I'm in, too. It has for some time been a feature of all family vacations (except when we go to places like Rome).

cooby Jul 01 2008 12:32 PM

Love it.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 01 2008 12:35 PM

I wonder if they have miniature golf in Rome? I don't recall seeing any!

themetfairy Jul 01 2008 12:37 PM

Fun :)

Benjamin Grimm Jul 01 2008 12:38 PM

I have to confess, I'm one of the two who voted "eh." It's a fun thing to do with the kids, but I don't think I'd do it without them.

Nymr83 Jul 01 2008 02:42 PM

its ok, better than boring "real" golf.

Rockin' Doc Jul 01 2008 02:56 PM

It's something to do when on vacation with the family, but I don't actively seek it out.

Vic Sage Jul 01 2008 03:28 PM

They say you should never mix business with pleasure- really? Well then explain to me how a putt putt golf company operates...

seawolf17 Jul 02 2008 11:12 AM

You can replace badminton with bocce, actually, since then none of them really take any effort. You could theoretically sweat playing badminton.

AG/DC Jul 02 2008 11:20 AM

You can do a lot of sweating playing badminton. Good players are living in their own time and space, not un-like Chinese pingpongers.

seawolf17 Jul 02 2008 11:31 AM

Which is why bocce fits in the First Annual CPF Pentathlon much better.

AG/DC Jul 02 2008 12:02 PM

43 on the first try. I mastered that course years ago. I must've been trying to get fired.

soupcan Jul 02 2008 12:07 PM

Yeah - I think I got as low as a 21 years back. 39 this time.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 02 2008 12:51 PM

I got an 88! The 8th and the 18th holes were nightmarish, but the 14th destroyed me!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 02 2008 01:14 PM

I got impatient at the end and hit a 52

seawolf17 Jul 02 2008 01:35 PM

39. And I'm pissed at the windmill hole, which was a 4.

Vic Sage Jul 02 2008 02:37 PM

yeah, 52 for me, too. alot of 1s and 2s, and then a few 6s and 8s. fucking windmill.

Kong76 Jul 02 2008 03:03 PM

That windmill sbhmc.

Vic Sage Jul 02 2008 03:13 PM

Nymr83 Jul 02 2008 03:52 PM

70. i had a 9 and an 8 in there that kicked my ass it counted 3 of my hole in 1's as a 2!

Frayed Knot Jul 02 2008 04:26 PM

47 Took me a while to figure out what those shaded sections were (uphills and downhills apparently)

Frayed Knot Jul 02 2008 05:02 PM

2nd try: 6 aces, 6 twos, 3 threes ... plus a 10, 8 & 5 for a freakin 50 All those disasters came in the last 5 holes.

soupcan Jul 02 2008 05:08 PM

You guys suck.

Nymr83 Jul 02 2008 07:01 PM

51 on the retry, the damn 18th hole took me 8 again

Rockin' Doc Jul 02 2008 07:50 PM

I had a freakin' 52 with a 7 on #4 and a damn 11 on # 8.

Frayed Knot Jul 02 2008 09:04 PM

So I gave it one more try. Had a 35 strokes thru 17 ... and then needed 17 more on #18 and finished with a 52.

Gwreck Jul 02 2008 11:24 PM

54, triple bogey on holes #15 and 18 killed me. I am sure I could get my score down to the 30s or lower within 45 minutes, though.
