What do you call it?

**RotationSlimWang** · 10-13-2007, 02:24 PM

Mini-golf, actually. There was a great place right down the street from the house I grew up in, my whole family used to go pretty much every night during the summer when I was young. My dad even wrote an ad about one of the trips, 'twas pretty funny. In fact, I'm gonna post it.

**mountmccabe** · 10-13-2007, 02:24 PM

Sorry.

**captncrzy** · 10-13-2007, 02:33 PM

Neither, actually.

We always have called it "goofy golfing".

**RotationSlimWang** · 10-13-2007, 02:38 PM

Let's see if this posts remotely legibly--probably gonna have to resize as this was one of his long ads. And it features a reference to a 10 year old me.

the most run down and dirtiest miniature golfing place in the whole world existed in my town (ironically it was called Paradise Miniature Golf). I played there once, and it was just so depressing. I think I came out of that place suicidal. It is now some mexican restaurant.

i worked at GolfLand for a year while in middle school and never once heard anyone call it "putt-putt"...

**ewiggy** · 10-13-2007, 03:10 PM

i wonder how sydaud will vote.

**clarky123** · 10-13-2007, 03:11 PM

We used to have the equivalent "Pitch and Put" over 18 holes as youngsters. A nine or eight Iron plus a Putter was the standard equipment. Thats Scotland though, the home of golf. So, "Put Put" and "Minature Golf" are not an option I can choose. Both games use only one club....or nowadays, a cell phone, think thats what you call them. However, we also invented phones!

**gaypalmsprings** · 10-13-2007, 03:13 PM

pitch and putt is 3-par golf

**drugks Gillespie** · 10-13-2007, 04:02 PM

Here in AZ, I believe the term is "goofy golf".Disc golf is called "frolf" and is difficult on mushrooms.

**Benis23** · 10-13-2007, 04:09 PM

here in mexico, we call that golf. miniature golf is when you throw the golf ball in the empty can of beans.

**invisiblerobots** · 10-13-2007, 04:35 PM

The majority of my miniature golf rounds vs. my sister involve me whacking the ball clear out of bounds and across the boardwalk on the Jersey shore. We're bi-coastal and we use the putt-putt term interchangeably.

I've heard "goofy golf" but the term sounds ridiculous so I don't think I'd use it. I've heard "putt putt" more, a lot even, but not just not enough, I guess.

And I really don't like "frolf" at all.

**full on idle** · 10-13-2007, 05:21 PM

what a bunch of idiot bastards.

**bballarl** · 10-13-2007, 05:23 PM

Mini golf. Is this even a question?

PS V-Dub there is a glow in the dark mini golf place out here that you and PF should play. I know you won't but it is awesome.

**samiksha** · 10-13-2007, 05:31 PM

where is betao from? putt putt can't just be a michigan thing.

**BoardsofCoachella** · 10-13-2007, 05:34 PM

I consider it Miniature Golf.
One of my friends refers to putt putt as a junky car.

**Yablonowitz** · 10-13-2007, 05:58 PM

Mini golf is precisely correct. Miniature Golf is acceptable. Only people incapable of verbalizing anything beyond ma-ma and da-da say "Putt Putt."

Please don't waste our time again with something so painfully obvious and ridiculous.

**xbnmx** · 10-13-2007, 06:04 PM

Who's from the midwest?!?

**Grandma** · 10-13-2007, 06:17 PM

I am! We refer to soda as "pop".

**DeltaSigChi4** · 10-13-2007, 06:39 PM

Carbonated beverages, imo.

**menikmati** · 10-13-2007, 06:44 PM

I would like to visit the midwest.

You just think you would. Then you'd get there and be like "Oh... so this is why they invented Manifest Destiny."

**menikmati** · 10-13-2007, 06:55 PM

I dunno, just seems like it would be a nice and peaceful escape. Plus most of all my favorite books seem to be set in the midwest too.

Erik - I lived for a year in Iowa and I live with that nightmare every day of my life. Whatever idyllic image you have in your head about the Midwest...drop it, lose it.

**RotationSlimWang** · 10-13-2007, 07:41 PM

Told ya.

**CuervoPH** · 10-13-2007, 07:43 PM

I couldn't vote. When I was growing up, there was a chain of miniature golf "fun centers" called "Putt Putt". We referred to it as Putt Putt when we were going there; We referred to it as miniature golf when we were going somewhere else to play.

Putt Putt may still be around; I just haven't found any of that chain in PA. So I guess now, I play miniature golf.
