Dear Aunt Peg:

This was our second day of playing at this course. Since we still had one game left to play and there was still one course we hadn't tried, we came back to play more at this fantastic course. With our final game, we decided to try the medium-level course, Chicken Egg-Spress.

 
At this hen-house they lay eggs cooked to order.

  
More of Old MacDonald.

    
Who is a really good human to his canine companion.

These cows also commented on your shots, like the horses did on that other course. They were also equally as frightening.

  
This pig was staring at me, so  I had to get a picture, if only because it was kind of creepy.

    
Right - those aren’t porcine eyes!!  Those are HUMAN eyes in a piggy face!!!  Of course it’s creepy!!!  I don’t think he’s really a pig at all!!!  He’s an ALIEN!!!!!!!!!

This was funny. If you shot under the “security” dog house, the guard dog came out and said stuff at you!

 
Hole 11 looked out on the milking barn.  

  
Look at the cat!!  You know, I used to have a friend whose family owned a Grade C dairy.  I think that means they mostly sold to cheese manufacturers.  In any case, once they took the milking machines off the cows, the cats all came in and licked them clean!!  I thought it was delightful.  Perhaps the USDA wasn’t quite so enthusiastic.

Here’s another one of those pinball holes, only with what I think are gophers.

  
Right??  What ARE those beings???  Do they actually occur in nature??  Or is this course ACTUALLY an alien course, where aliens have designed what they THINK are our domesticated animals, only they’re all just a little bit OFF!!!!

More Heckle and Jeckle.

  
This was the first 2-tiered hole I can remember on this course.  You putted into one of the two holes on the top, it went down the mud-making machine, and onto the bottom tier.  

 That pig looked very content.

    
That pig looks like an alien invader.  You call that a pig???

Dad won another free game!  For our free game, we played “Porky Putts” a second time. 

 See the pig-washer??

   
Right.  You think that’s a pig-washer.  That’s really a portal to their home planet!!

Ripley’s Old MacDonald’s Farm Golf Part 2: " Porky Putts"

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.

The sunbathers had a cooler - a “Pigloo” brand cooler, with “Pig Gulp” sodas. 

  

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.
