The Wisconsin Dells Mini Golf

“3, 2, 1.” The crowd counts down as we have just won the championship in the “Jimmy V Classic,” in the Wisconsin Dells. Our whole team is overwhelmed with emotion and joy and you would think that we just won the state championship. As we file out of the gym one by one with smiles from ear to ear; we all decide that a celebration is needed. People blurt out idiotic ideas and we converse and decide that we are going to go mini golfing at “Pirates Cover Mini Golf” in the Wisconsin Dells.
We all arrive as a group and get a one dollar discount because there are so many of us. This is when the brutal beat down game of mini golf started. From the beginning you knew that the game was not going to turn into a nice friendly game because the first things that we all did was put in a five dollar per person bet on the game. Starting off the nine hole course was what was supposed to be, a hole that even adequate golfer could conquer. Although the first hole was like a crash course gone wrong from everyone in our group because we were cracking out fours and fives with great disappointment. To the next hole we went and the heated battle started, when Parker hit a hole and one, which turned him into his usual self dancing and bragging towards the next hole. Giving people hard times was what Parker did and people right away where getting angry with his tactics and someone took a swing at him with their putter. Onto the tunnel hole we went, where you had to hit the ball around a rough rock and in a hole that lurked in the distance. Everyone got about the same scores and the people behind us started giving us devil like scowls that could burn through rubber because we were taking too long. After the cave hole we ventured to the hill hole, where you had to hit a ball at just the right speed and get it to rocket of the brick in the hardly visible vicinity where the hole calmly sat.
Although the first few holes where important, the last few almost started a ruthless riot between players that could have been disasters. The fiasco started on the eighth hole when Trevor and Bennett were clearly out of the running and the people who were still in contention where treacherously taunting them every chance they got. Right after Parker got a two and Trevor got a four the flood of criticism came and Trevor took a swing with his golf club trying to take off Parkers head, like trying to hit a home run in baseball. Of course Parker ducked and the putter went right into the kidney of a hippo that just happened to be standing right behind him. Down, Down, Down went the hippo and everyone around us heard the bang of the hippo hitting the now punctured pavement. Next was the final hole, which was the hole on the course that stuck out like a sore thumb. It was clearly the hardest hole on the course from its tunnel that the ball must go through, to the bunkers that flooded the edges. One mistake and you would get penalized with a two stroke water hazard. Matt was trailing Parker by one for the lead, along with feeling the pressure of having to go last with astronomical pressure building up each stroke. Parker went first because he was the leader and hit the ball safely though the tunnel without it going into a bunker. Finishing off the hole with a score of four, which wasn’t bad compared to some of the sixes and sevens of the other people, He felt very confident in his chances. Matt was being heckled by Parker and now had to put his money where his mouth was and receive a two to win or a three to tie. His first stroke was about the same as Parkers, which left him with a horrible lye because he was setup with the decision to go for the tie or win. Of course he went for the win, which meant that he had to try and hit the ball through the water or get the ball to curve somehow; both options seemed nearly impossible. He lined up to take his shot, and surprising everyone he skipped the ball over the water and it slowly rolled its way towards the hole. Parker started jumping up and down with excitement as the ball came to a halt nearly millimeters from the hole. Everyone was in shock when Parkers motion into the ground effected the ball just enough to trickle its way into the cup as if it was meant to be there. Joy overwhelmed everyone that witnesses the spectacular scene, but Parker.
This was clearly a crazy day of mini golf from the last second shot to the crying of Parker after he lost. Just remember that next time you go mini golfing that anything is possible and don’t get too excited while mini golfing.
