Mini Golf Competition
Mini Golf (or Putt Putt as some may call it) is a really fun game for all ages and abilities. This mini putt tournament is not your usual game of golf. Mini golf is a hugely different game, which takes different skill sets.
Anyone can win here – you could even win against a professional! So don’t delay – enter now!!
Last year’s event was a sensational fun filled day with Brent Thomas taking out the tournament title for 2018. This year, we will be splitting the winnings with the top five players receiving cash prizes for their efforts on the courses. All registered junior (under 12) players will receive a prize on the day too!
For many of us, mini-golf is an outdoor recreational activity played on windmill themed courses during our sun-drenched beach holidays away with the family. Any hole-in-ones (played in thongs and boardies) — sunk with those fluoro coloured balls — are usually accidents of fate to be marvelled at afterward over ice cream and lollies.
Mini Golf Championships
But unlike the Masters Tournament played at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, mini-golf competitions are inclusive of all genders, ages and nationalities. To turn ‘Pro’ one needs to only register, sign up and pay the fee. In fact, Olivia Prokopova, a 17-year-old from the Czech Republic, won the sport’s Masters in 2013.
Here’s some tips on how to become a great Mini-Golfer!
- Know the course. Practice, practice, practice.
- Learn exactly where you need to bank a shot. Depending on what obstacles or materials are used – you can learn how to bank the shot to get the ball to where you need it.
- Watch your speed. Speed is a crucial factor in a successful hole. Even on the more difficult holes, it’s really important to estimate the speed correctly, because if you miss, at least you’ll have an easy 2nd putt.
SHOWTIME! Once the competition begins, put all your practice, knowledge of the course, speed and ensuring you hit the ball exactly where you want it to go – and who knows … you may win the tournament! Or at least a tasty lunch at the café afterwards.
You can register for Thornleigh Golf Centre Australian Mini Golf Championship now – the event is being held on Sunday, 10th November… so be in to win cash prizes of up to $3,500!!
