Reconnecting With A Good Childhood Memory
Every year, the church Youth Fellowship used to take us to a local golf course (Lehigh County had several) to the only miniature golf course in the area. The concept has always charmed me, especially when the course is mechanically ingenious / creative. I am...how to put this delicately...a sucky golfer, or I was the last time I attempted Making A Tiny Ball Go Where I Direct, in my twenties. Real golf would have no appeal (I keep thinking about George Carlin's blistering indictment of elite rich people tying up all that land to chase such a teeny little ball), but the mini variety condenses the hazards and the space.
The last two weeks have been sort of grueling. (EKU gets its own f-locked post, and was multiple levels of awesome). This was also the period during which I "made up" for the days I take off from work to go to Pennsic. I want a treat, and this is what I settled on: a miniature golf "crawl". There are a number of courses in the city, and the two at the top of this list are calling to me: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/top-lists/5-best-mini-golf-courses-in-new-york/ I've never been to Pier 25 or to Randall's Island, so this kills multiple birds with one stone.
There's a golf center in far south Brooklyn across from Aviator Sports, a short bus ride away from me, three in Queens (two in Flushing, one in Douglaston), an indoor center near Union Square, in addition to the ones I plan to check out today. That should keep me busy as long as the outdoor centers stay open 8)
