LOL!!
it's ALMOST as bad.!
Have you tried the glow in the dark mini-putt?
There used to be a farmer down the road here that would catapult pumpkins and raise money for charities. Quite amazing how far they'd go.
Now if he could set that up at night with pumpkins painted with glow paint...

bingo! there is no stumpin' you! lol

the answer to your other post is YES! (but it's far too $$$$ now that he's crossed the <5 yrs old 'free deal')...we hunt down shoddy old mini golf courses (redneck designs...members can pm me if that offends, i may or my not respond) for $3 to $5 green fees, not $12!...i was think of making a book or video summary of the 50+ we must have explored by now

great idea, lol, but i think the glow paint will only work when it has those purple/black lights shining on it so that farmer would have to make an investment in field lighting....but if he builds it i will come, lol

Have you been to the mini golf on Hwy#2 just as you leave Whitby and head into Ajax? There's a driving range as well..Next time you're out we should head over... before the snow flies..

I think the farmer had to stop his catapulting pumpkins fun due to legalities re: injuries etc..
Sucked the fun right out of it..

oh, i know of the one i think...i guess i thought it was on Taunton but perhaps it is #2...anyhow we have driven up a few times to one on south side on the family route but i give a choice and say we can pit stop and play there or the Big Apple (longtime ontario landmark which i feared would become an ON route thingie) but not both

i must post pics of the one at Belleville (36 holes), the designer is junior's hero

like i said, i think a Small Talk mini putt thread would be fun to get other feedback...i'm sure there are monstrous ones with bells and whistles down south....i played one while killing time at a convention in Tampa Bay then did a Mickey one at some water park (that's as close as i got to the slides! lol)

there is no miniputt (or bowling alley) in town here...odd, someone is missing out one some buck$
