“Many people are asking, so I'll give it to you now, it is 100% true. While playing with the legendary mini-golfer, Fredrik Persson, winner of four Mini-Majors and approximately 72 other tournaments
throughout the world, Marcel Noack, winner of the Senior U. S. Open Of Mini-Golf, Aki Sillman, and Alexander Dahlstedt, both excellent mini-golf tour players, I made a hole-in-one. It took place at Adventure Land Family Fun Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, on the 7th hole, which was
playing 31-yards into a slight wind. I hit an orange-handled putter, which rolled
magnificently into a rather strong wind, with approximately 5 inches of cut, whereupon it rolled up the clown’s tongue and into his mouth, perfectly timed to avoid his rapidly-closing jaws, bounced twice and then went clank, into the hole. These great tour players noticed it before I did because their eyes are slightly better, but on that one hole only, their
swings weren’t. Anyway, there's a lot of chatter about it, quite exciting, and people everywhere seem to be asking for the facts. Playing with that group of wonderful, talented players was a lot of fun. The match was Fredrik and me (with no strokes) against
Marcel, Aki, and Alexander. I won't tell you who won because I am a very modest individual, and you will then say I was bragging, and I don't like people who brag! Was the FREE snow-cone I enjoyed after the round a prize? I’ll never tell!”
A number of times on some of the most challenging courses, although I had to admit it was more like dumb luck than skill. We were all amazed watching the ball go through this convoluted course and end up in the hole, and I doubt I could have replicated it often if I tried.
I think that's the main appeal of mini-golf to me as one who isn't very good at it or takes it seriously. It's filled with hilarious moments like the most annoyingly frustrating moments along with those crazy hole-in-ones.
Of course. It might not have been as designed, but ended with the same result.
off topic story
Once was shooting darts (really young, single digits) in a pub, my shot went high and really really wide nailing one of the large trophies on a shelf along the top of the wall. For the first time I allowed myself to laugh at something like that. I still remember my parents faces. What was worse.. the only other person there was the winner of the damn trophy. “That is my trophy you just hit.” 🙊 I mean come-on. It’s dusty and you never touch it, I’m normally a kid with an old soul… who just laughed at dinging the damn thing. Killed all the fun of darting to this day. It extended to mini golf. No idea why.
Never seen a trophy wall for mini golf players.
@bigpauly Admitting another weakness, sir.
I got so drunk one time while bowling with my friends that I threw the ball and it went way off to the side and into the gutter... of the opposing team's lane! Then I high-fived my teammates. I call it strategy.
Your story reminded me of that. I'd call your case strategy as well! It's an innovative strategy to defeat the champion!
@HighlyVolatile lol I’m on board with that! And I love your story too. Too funny!
Oh sure, lots! But I assure you it was pure luck that I got them. I do try my hardest, and I can get very competitive, even on a date. (I don’t “let” anyone just win) I guess I figure if your ego cannot take loosing to a girl, you won’t make a good boyfriend OR husband. Loosing with grace and dignity, congratulating the winner… Those are qualities I admire! (Not that I win at mini-golf much, I’m just sayin’)

Yes, quite a few times. Many mini-golf holes are set up to make hole-in-ones possible. And I'm good at putting. I can't drive for crap, though, so regular golf is not for me. Lol.
From what I remember? I think I did or maybe my mom or godmother just shoved it in there to make it look like I did! lol Wow.. Wisconsin Dells about 25 years ago.
To tell the truth mini golf was so long ago I don't recall if it ever happened. I'm leaning towards not.
Yes of course I have, I stood there and practiced over and over until I got it the first time.
I've never been minigolfing before. I also think that doesn't exist where I live.
Yeah it was on the 18th and got a free golf game and $500. The girl I was with was gave the best gift at night if you know what I mean lol.
You’re gonna DIE clown!! 🫵😤 and yes!! I have done property damaged before!! 😤
