How to Win at Mini Golf
Mini golf is a fun game that tests your patience, timing, and confidence on the golf course. Also known as miniature golf and crazy golf, the activity has provided fun and laughter for people of all ages for generations.
But how do you win at mini golf? The courses are notoriously tricky, with some unusual obstacles and confusing passages, plus plenty of short-game skills required. We Are Tricycle, the UK's funfair and fairground ride hire team, look at how to defeat any mini golf course.
While some of us might experience a bit of beginner's luck, mini golf is a game of skill! Even if you're not an avid golf player, there are lots of little things you can do to make sure you impress all of your guests at your next party or event.
Check out our guide below to find out how to win at your next game of mini golf.
Choose the perfect golf putter
When you start a fun game of mini golf, you need to choose the perfect putter to make sure you win the game.
As a rule of thumb, if you're relatively short, choose a shorter putter to maximise your skills. If you're a tall player, choose a longer putter to get the ball in the hole every time. You don't need any other clubs for mini golf - every course needs a putter, and there should even be the potential for a few hole-in-ones!
Visualise where you need the ball to go
If you want to beat your friends in a fun game of mini golf, you need to make sure you know exactly where you want the ball to go each time you hit it. Take a second before your shot to look where your ball is on the course, and where you need it to go to make the most of your turn.
If you visualise what needs to happen before you hit the ball, you'll be one step closer to putting a winning shot.
Clear the golf course
Before you get ready to hit the ball, you need to make sure nothing is in the way. The mini golf course will be full of whimsical obstacles such as windmills or animals, but you don't want any rubbish on the course before you take a swing.
Get rid of any debris or stones that have made its way onto the course during the game so you have a clear shot; you only want the manufacturer's obstacles to content with!
Practice makes perfect
When it comes to the game of mini golf, practice really does make perfect. Spend a bit of time on the mini golf course in your spare time to practice your shots. If you're at a party or event, ask if you can all have a practice round to start, and understand what you need to do to win the game when you play competitively.
Above all, a game of mini golf should be fun! It can bring together friends, families, or work colleagues, providing unique entertainment that's just a little bit different. Don't worry too much about winning - it's supposed to be low-stakes enjoyable entertainment!
