National Miniature Golf Day

Be similar to the sport of golf, Miniature Golf is a miniature version of the game. While still played with a series of 9 or 18 holes, miniature golf courses are shorter, often themed, and feature many obstacles that add to the difficulty of the game.

There is also no need to call "FOUR" as only putters are used in this version. The distance is too short (usually about 10 yards) to use any other club in golf. Most yards are made of concrete or artificial grass, so don't worry about replacing any of the markers! The game is also known as mini golf, mid-range, putt golf, and peewee golf.

Some of the more challenging miniature golf courses feature waterfalls, caves and castles with drawbridges as part of the obstacle course.
