Mini Golf Redux

We three have played mini-golf every Sunday  for the past 5 Sundays. It's proof that the weather here in September is indeed, lovely (August was awful the two weeks we were here, and I've heard horror stories of floods, etc. for the two weeks we were not). I suggested we go because a. Each of us enjoys it which segues into b. it's a family activity which does not involves staring at a screen and, c. Due to my now more or less permanent position in the computer chair writing adverts and the posts between them, I could be sure of some outside time at least once a week.

I won for the first time last week (one week we had a three-way tie) so things are going well. :) I spoke with the proprietor of the mini golf place and he stated that he would be open through October--which dovetails nicely with my plan. He after all, has to make up for being closed for much of August.

Just for the record, I realize mini golf is not "golf." It's mini-golf. If you think it takes no skill or effort than to you I say, Ha! I don't care.

It is what it is. Fun.

Oh absolutely, some of the best (most fun) mini golf I've played involved my kids.
My spouse does as you do with the removing of pine needles and leaves.
I'm very "square"--as long as I have a kid willing to engage in family activities--I'm going to do it.

Mini-golf is a great recreational activity. My wife and I used to play more often, and we would get truly competitive. I would often find myself walking ahead of my ball, removing small pebbles and pine cone needles out of the projected path of my ball. When our little one gets a little older, we'll be a threesome and will resume the battles.
