117. Miniature Golf
One favorite activity for young people in Southern
is visiting a Golf Arcade. The main feature
this attraction is playing miniature golf, which is,
the name suggests, a smaller version of the
of golf. In golf, players play a round
golf that includes either 9, or 18 holes
an open, park-like field where each hole is
great distance from the other. Golfers use a
of clubs to play a round of golf,
a driver, an iron, and a putter. Each
has its own use. The object of the
is to put a golf ball into the
in the least number of strokes.
In miniature
, the course is much smaller. Golf arcades are
contained within a one-block area, so the game
greatly from golf. One club is all it
to play miniature golf, but it is no
fun than playing real golf. A miniature golf
has many themes depending on which course a
visits. Unlike golf, miniature golf has obstacles placed
the path of the golf ball to make
difficult for a person to put the ball
the hole. Miniature golf is usually no more
nine holes.
Golf arcades are not limited to
miniature golf. Some arcades include mini-car racing on
small, professional-like race track. It is fun to
a person's skills against others in a mini-car
. If racing is not something of interest, there
other activities available. Video games and pinball are
. The food is another attraction at golf arcades.
golf arcades serve American favorites like hot dogs,
, and pizza with all the trimmings. A golf
is really a great way to spend a
, or Saturday night.
