Have you ever considered the surreality that golf is THE game of Very Important Rich Men, and miniature golf is THE game for middle class people with kids? It’s like an unintentional fuck you from the Everyman to our feudal lords and masters.

@Leucrotta At least we have the tiny comfort that ours is by far the more entertaining of the two games.

Also I've never seen a pro golf course with even a HALF decent arcade. XD

@zebratron2084 I think it's because neither golf or miniature golf is about playing the actual game. Rich dudes golf because it's social lubricant, and miniature golf is about keeping the kids entertained. Old Star Wars machine where the TIE fighters shoot asterixes at you? Hazard looks like a Tyrannosaur stomping a crashed flying saucer? Please anything yes.

@Leucrotta Right? I think the actual final score has been acknowledged in maybe ONE game of minigolf I've played in my entire life... and thats because my cousin from Florida was a real (charming) asshole when he was younger. :)
