Things Have Gone a Bit Awry...
by Pat Sheridan on 08/22/15Things have been interesting on the build up to the Farmington Miniature Golf Tournament.
First - we did have a winner for our contest but an unfortunate conflict arose and Dave won't be joining us on the mini-links this weekend. However, he has assured us that he will be pushing our brand as much as possible until he can make it to a tournament.
Second - we played a second practice round last week and it was....not as good as it should have been. We were well over par!
Third - I haven't been around all week so practicing has been a challenge. But I found a way to get some putts in while travelling internationally this week.
Finally - Mother Nature was trying to have a go at us with a day remaining until the tournament but the rain stopped and the clouds parted enough for us to get in some practice rounds today and to look at how cute the course cat is.
Even minigolf bows to the power of cat pictures.
The scores weren't too phenomenal but Mandy dropped a 41 in the first round (beating me) and John logged a 39 in our second round (also beating me). I was good for 3 straight 43s, which definitely can use some improvement.
All told, that was five rounds of practice on this course over a span of about 5 months. I'll definitely squeeze in at least one more before tee-off at 8am tomorrow.
My tournament predictions:
- I will have at least 5 aces over the three rounds
- I will ace the first hole I play (assuming we all start one hole 1 - I actually can't remember for this tournament!)
- I will shoot one round in the 30s.
- Mandy will shoot one round better than 43
- Mandy will have at least 3 aces
It remains to see how the course will play tomorrow because of the weather conditions here in Connecticut. The forecast for tomorrow morning seems to be mostly cloudy turning to some sun so the course might be a bit drier than it was this evening. We look forward to seeing everyone at the tournament tomorrow and good luck to all!
