We went to a fun looking miniature golf place called "Pirate's Cove" while were were in Orlando. It was cute pirate-themed place with skull and crossbones flags, lots of iron bars on the doors, wooden barrels, and other good piratey "stuff". We were feeling pretty good about the prospect of a good round of putt-putt as we selected our colorful balls and putters and headed to the first hole.
Putt-putt. It's all putting, right? Pretty low-key. Lots of light tapping on the balls, eh? Jack apparently didn't really understand the real concept of putting. Though he was using a putter to hit his cute little colored golf ball, he drove that sucker 100% off the course. God alone knows where that ball went. It flew past the end of "hole 1", completely over the next hole, and I think into a little flowing creek that carried it away. We patiently waited there at that first hole while Jack went back to get another ball.
For the full 18 holes, there was alot of going out of turn, and moved balls, and water hazards. It was a great putt-putt course - lots of silly challenges and fun "props" along the way.
Now, as for the winner of the 18-hole putting challenge... Well, the obvious winner was me. ;)
Actually, I have no idea how that happened. I guess it was my lucky day. Anyway, Sarah and I will be joining the tour soon. We'll sign autographs by appointment only, please.
When I showed Jack the photo prints from that day, he said something like "Ah... the day I was in trouble all day. That was a fun day." And then he laughed. That's Jack.
But he was right - it WAS a fun day.
