We played the Neon Jungle, followed by the Dump Yard. We were the first players of the day and as we were playing a few other groups started their rounds, but there was plenty of space between us.

We were joined in the minigolf match-up by our friend and crazy golf rival Cat Patterson. A rival who has secured wins against us both before, so we knew it was going to get competitive.

In our game on the Neon Jungle Cat did indeed take the win, with a round of 21, including a hole-in-one on hole 2 'Holey Moley'.
