I must say. I played a round of adventuregolf/MOS today at Slottskogen in Gothenburg today. It was a qualifier for the “win a car tournament”. Cudos for that initiative by the way!! I managed to qualify, even though I took a 6 on one hole. Taking a 6 on adventuregolf usually equals disaster. Fortunately this course allows for mistakes since average rounds are in the low and mid 40’s even for the better players. BUT, to take a 6 after leaving the first shot about 2 feet from the hole was certainly not as entertaining. I kind of felt like Bernhard the Polar Bear (check out You-Tube!!) there for a while. My putt to save me from a 7 was actually something like 4 feet long…
I look forward to the final in September, not just the possibility to win a car, which of course is great. Adventuregolf is relaxing and real fun yet also very frustrating to play. But I like being able to put all worries about the ball and putter aside (same type used for all, straight from clubhouse) and just focus on putting. The carpet has become extremely fast which is not a very good thing. But it gives room for more interesting ways to play some of the holes, but the deuce-putts are scary….
Too bad the final takes place the same weekend as the Putt Putt Nationals in Orlando, I had plans on going back to the USA for one last encounter with the PPA-players.
