Too old for minigolf? Never.

Göttingen indoor eternite competition 2008 had an impressive crowd of 201 participants, including some of the very best cream of German minigolf. Rahmlow, Oberweg, Albrecht... But all the professionally coached Bundesliga players had no chance against Herbert Wieck, 76 years of age.

Mister Wieck, known to friends as “Dreifinger-Joe”, scored the four competition rounds 18 18 21 18 (average 18.75), leaving other competitors far behind. And also leaving some world records into history, in the age group of veterans.

The second best player of the competition was German national team candidate Sascha Albrecht, with an average score 19.75. Having missed 7 holes in the competition, Albrecht made 133% more mistakes than Wieck, who missed only 3 holes.

The third best player in the competition was Konrad Jahr, with an average score 20.00. Having missed 8 holes in the competition, he made nearly three times more mistakes than the evergreen winner of the competition.
