19 Jan 2012 at 16:10 | | Very interesting. Permitting ball selection would definitely hurt an American's chances since we are not familiar with (nor do we own) minigolf balls. Still, just more than 6 aces a round won this event in 2011... Only money and time prevents American's from travelling overseas to play. |

19 Jan 2012 at 15:50 | Nothing prevents PPA pros from participating. You just need to pay the membership fee of USPMGA. (Like all those PPA pros do, who play any USPMGA events.) And then follow the registration procedure specified in the invitation.
A reason why an American might have a hard time to win is the fact that special minigolf balls are allowed, and they give you an essential advantage. I cover this aspect in my blog Laissez-faire WMF WAGM (link is found in the left column, under Latest blog posts) -- I actually travelled there last year with PPA-compatible equipment, a steel putter and golf balls. Half a day of practice was enough to convince me that this equipment would not be enough to win anything there. |
