It can mean playing a wonderful hole or it could mean beating up yourself up because you ruined your score. That"s why so many golfers spend hours practicing their putting skills. Putting is such a precise and technical art. You need to have your skills down pat without losing your nerve. Many regular golfers like a change of scene and come to mini golf courses so they can practice only their putting. The crazy angles, bumps and obstructions enable them to learn to control their ball in any situation and get it into the hole.

A mini golf course is all about strategic location, interesting and challenging putting holes and creating an attractive scenic environment for people to play in.

In other words, what do you and should you be thinking about when you actually swing the club. It seems that every time I watch someone play they seem to be taking an inordinate amount of time fidgeting with their grip, their stance or their play. The more time they take to get round to swinging the club, the more likely they are to hit a bad shot. One golfer I met recently admitted to almost running between shots so that he has adequate time available to fidget over the ball. The average golfer is often preoccupied with his current set of - sometimes conflicting - technical swing thoughts, from coaches, books, websites and golf magazines and TV ...
