Offhand, I’d have to say me,

'course dunno you, so there could be mitigating factors…

Does the fact that I can hit 26-28 now with ease count? I mean, I have played this game to death. I either need to drink more or find someone who can drag me away from keys now and then. (Either way, score should start getting worse)

Sad part, I now have something I can post to “What do you do really well” if I feel like it.

I don’t.

Man, I need a date…  
25 😃

(Which is not say, **Olentzero** that commentary isn’t pretty pathetic, just that I’m more. Totally off topic, am I the only Doper in Idaho? Makes me feel even more alone, sigh.)

38 second try\*, and now I’m going to bed.

\*technically the 3rd try, but my 2nd try the ball got stuck on the divider thing on hole 11 so I had to start over.

~MoronMountain~ Try placing the ball on the lower front corner of the mat. Then, place the lead dot on the lower inside corner past the hole. You will be surprised.

I am quitting at a low of 23. 14 aces, 3 twos and a three.

The damned 17th just kicks my butt. I don’t think it can be aced.

I should clean the house sometime today.

Which is worse, playing the game a lot, or READING OTHER PEOPLE’S SCORES?

42 first go! Woohoo!

A combination of golf, pool and physics skills helped I think.

</div>

I really AM going to quit playing this now…

20~ 16 aces, and two twos.

Hole 17 can be aced, I found out. You have to hit it backwards, at a funny angle.

I’ve gotten down as low as 34, but still some holes give me a tough time. 17, especially. The ones with hills and bends give me the toughest time. I think I’ve probably holed out on most of the holes, excluding those hilly-bendy ones.

54 first try…Still getting used to the control.

2nd & 3rd times I got stuck on 11. Managed to knock the ball _out of bounds_

4th try I shot a 42 but I had a rough back 9.

I really gotta get back to work. Between this and that damned laser game…

</div>

Okay, I only played once (LOL so far!); scored a 62, but let me just qualify that score. I got stuck really badly on 2-3 holes, one I lost at least 8 strokes on (can’t remember which number, but it was the one with two different bends in it; I guess I was hitting the ball too hard, cause it kept coming back to me _LOL_ I hate those types of holes!) and 17 and 18. WTF was that supposed to be on the green of 18 anyway?! LMAO I think that took me 4-5 strokes to get! Up until those holes, I had several hole-in-ones!

Thanks though, I’ll show this game to my kids, who will surely score much better than I. 😃

I’d like to second echo Second Echo, I had 43 on my first try, too, wasting 5 shots at that stupid windmill and 5 more on that number 17! It’s a fun game. The laser beam one is more of a thinker, but miniature golf is cool. (I can’t believe I said that. Gosh, I feel like I’m eleven years old all over again…)

40! On my first try!

[Another mini-golf game](http://www.electrotank.com/lab/miniGolf.html). I prefer the one in the OP better, IMHO.
