 Robert Kanes and Bud Peen snag their second "Best Hole" award with "Elian's Dilemma," a mini-golfers' referendum on whether young Elian should stay in the US or return to Cuba
|
For Elian's Dilemma, players swung in a tire, above a roiling sea, and attempted to throw a golf ball into an appropriate containers (Fidel, Janet Reno, Elian's Uncle, etc.) to register their opinion.
|
 "In Got Milk," players started upstairs, working their way past giant PB&J sandwiches, cookies and other snacks, eventually putting through the wall and...
|
...landing downstair, in a giant carton of milk, as created by designers Leslie Crawford, Steve Fox, and 2-1/2-year-old Sam.
|
Kate Godfrey's perfect miniature, Tin Cup, came with its own tiny golf balls and miniature golf umbrella.
|
Fan favorite "Vincent Van Golf," from Mimi Heft and Paul Maverides. The painting is two-dimensional, but the sculptured ear juts out from the canvas, making for a tough par 2.
|
"This Is Your Brain on Mini-Golf," by Colin Duwe, Steve Fox, Henry Kaiser, and Kirk Steers, asked subjects to participate in an "experiment": Don video goggles and, viewing yourself on camera, putt a ball up a ramp. Note the consent form.
|
"Mission Control," by Cary Hammer and Nadine Browning, was a cooperative challenge for a four-person team. Teammates used video cameras, monitors, a walkie-talkie, and other tools to help the fourth (blindfolded) team member locate and putt the ball into the cup. |
Kevin Thatcher's "Schwing Thrasher": Who knew that two hoses, placed together and stretched out, make a perfect mini-golf rampway?
|
Meredith Tromble's "Creature" swallowed all that dared to putt by.
|
Drop Zone, by Annika Dukes and Kas Neteler, starts on the deck, as balls are placed in parachutes...
|
...and gently dropped to the surface below. The wind made for fun navigation, and many a bogey.
|
The official invitation.
|
The official scorecard.
