Professional Putt-Putt?
From the NYT: Putting for the Fences
Apparently there’s such a thing as professional putt putt? I can’t believe such a thing exists.
Now for some nostalgia, I used to love going to Putt-Putt (the name brand place, not generic “mini-golf”). There used to be one out at Southgate USA in Maple Heights that I used to go play at in the summer. Alas, the course is sadly no longer there.
I remember vividly that there was also a special, on either tuesdays or wed where it was all the Putt-Putt you could play for a flat fee, plus a slice of pizza and a soda for some really low price. So I’d go out there with a friend and we’d play the 3 courses over and over all day long. Granted, this was many, many years ago. Oh, but how much fun it used to be.
Got any Putt Putt memories of you own?
Actually, a fellow Brandeis graduate plays on the professional mini-golf tour (Chris Rantz, ’01). And he’s consistently one of the top four or five money-winners every year. But like the article said, it’s not enough to make a living and he still has to hold down a full-time job. I have played him before on Putt-Putt courses, and yes, he is damn good.
