Dear Aunt Peg:
After we played through The Udder Course, we decided to play one more course that day. We chose the hard course, Porky Putts. We also played it one more time before we left.
The first thing on this course are these sunbathing, snorkeling, showering pigs. They were listening to “Surfing U.S.A.” and “Good Vibrations” and talking amongst themselves about the state of their affairs.
Ha!!
This course didn’t seem to us to be any more difficult than the “Udder Course”. We only noticed the different theme.
OH!!! I love the duck in the innertube!! Now, see, this isn’t blue water - it’s NORMAL water!!! See, they don’t HAVE to dye their water!!!
OH!! Bees!! You know, I used to keep bees. Actually, one of my many ex-husbands was really the bee-keeper. We actually got an entire box of bees sent to us in the mail!! The postal carrier was not amused. It came in a wooden box - about 8 inches by 8 inches by 8 inches, all screened in on two sides. And filled, filled, filled, with hot, buzzing bees!
They were cute bees.
Pigs in . . . the mud?? Yes, it was concrete mud.
This goat yelled jokes at you.
Man, this makes me think of those places in Door County, Wisconsin, where they have actual, live goats on the roof!! Like, Al Johnson’s restaurant in Sister Bay. More on THAT later!
The best shot on this hole was to putt directly under the out-house. It gave a straight shot at the hole. They also played sounds effects of Old MacDonald PEEING inside the outhouse!! I actually got a hole-in-one the first time I played this hole.
Now THAT’S entertainment!!
On some of the holes, it was hard to see where everything would end up.
This was the only par 4 hole in the entire course. I actually got it in 2. It could go all the way around, or could cut through the wooden trough.
Dad’s ball got stuck in the wall.
Isn’t there a Pink Floyd song about that??
When you’d putt underneath these crates, the turkeys would pop up and say something.
Are these dinners made out of turkeys . . . or made FOR turkeys??
This hole was tough. There was an extremely small margin of error.
This was like a pin-ball hole. You’d hit your ball, and it’d roll down hill through all the rabbits.
This one was fun, because you could put into the trough, and the river was running through the trough, so the water would carry your ball down to the hole.
Another free game hole. Dad won, so he got to sign his name.
They had a Ripley’s “Super Fun Zone” next door. When you bought a round of minigolf, they’d give you two free tokens to that.
With our total of six tokens, we all played a round of pinball.
Statistics:
