One of the main rules that the Field House would like us to relay is that they do not allow anything but water in the facility. I repeat, WATER ONLY!!!!! Okay, now that little tid bit is out of the way we can move on to some rules of the game.

Answer to Ultimate Question

Hey!

Here's an answer to a question posted by one of our followers. "The calendar shows as a tournament over 5 days. However, the instructions shows that it's a one day double elimation tournament. Do we know the times for this?"

Ulitimate will be played in a double elimination tournament format in the evenings. We could use up to five evenings which will be determined by how many teams sign up. Schedules will be made after registration is closed.

Thanks for the question!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Putters!

As we celebrate our nation's independence this weekend I think we should also celebrate the great pastime of Miniature Golf. Although it did not originate here in the U.S. it has become one of our great family summer activities.

"Like its namesake, miniature golf started in Scotland, at the Ladies Putting Club of St. Andrews, which in 1867 had a "Himalayas" 18-hole putting green. (At the time, women were not permitted to swing the club past their shoulders.) James Barber's Thistle Du putting course, built in 1916 in Pinehurst, N.C., was America's first mini-golf course. During the Depression, more than 150 courses Manhattan. In 1964, Astroturf was invented, and soon after the game became a roadside attraction where parents could take their children for inexpensive fun activity, that like Saturday morning cartoons, most kids outgrow. That is, of course, if they don't decide to play professionally."Golf.Com

Miniature Golf has for some, gone beyond a fun night out with family and friends and become a seriously competitive sport. "Each October the world's best professional miniature golfers convene in Myrtle Beach to compete for the game’s most coveted title. That's right, professional miniature golfers".-Golf.Com Wanna know what they are playing for? The elusive Green Windbreaker.

Our Miniature Golf tournament will be played over 3 days August 4th, 5th, and 6th. Get your teams ready and hit your favorite mini-golf course to practice!


Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
