Pop-Up Mini Golf
One is never too grown up for mini golf.
Overview
No matter how old you’ve grown, nor how successful you’ve become, nor how much you’ve matured, one is never too grown up for mini golf. The game is basically a shrunken down version of its terribly dreary and significantly larger counterpart, but as we have learnt from New World's miniature grocery promotion, everything is fun in miniature version.
And mini putt is no exception. The game promises an afternoon of frustration, finesse and fun. I swear it is mostly luck, but many have disagreed with me and vowed that the game (sorry, the sport) requires great skill and even a few complex mathematical calculations. Now mini golf is on its way to Wynyard Quarter to take over Silo Park with obstacles, flags, and those pesky invisible gradients that send your ball off in the complete opposite direction to the hole.
This time mini-putt is better than ever, since the team at #scribbleAKL have had the course made of up-cycled objects. #ScribbleAKL is a free weekly forum for creative minds to collaborate and converse amongst each other. The topic spectrum reaches from technology to design, art to wellbeing and anyone is welcome to join in and have their say.
After delivering TedxAuckland and First Thursdays on K Road, the organisation now brings us a fully sustainable, reused and recycled golf course. The aim of the game is to make golfers ponder ways in which they can be sustainable and eco-friendly whilst they make a round of the 18 up-cycled holes. They also hope that strangers will come together to meet and play and develop a sense of community in the city. Unfortunately they might have failed to take the tensions and testiness that mini-golf tends to bring out in people.
