No doubt it is entertaining for everyone involved when you take the family on a visit to the golf course. But did you know you could turn your own back yard into a mini golf course? Kids enjoy making obstacles in your mini course by rummaging around the attic for odds and ends that could go there. Some obstacles could be made out of cardboard as well, and you could use old cardboard boxes as material for these. Of course we don?t mean to compare this mini golf course to the real thing, but as far as kids are concerned they would have a lot of fun with inexpensive clubs, maybe the plastic variety available in toy stores.
It doesn't take much to convert a yard into a miniature golf course. Miniature golf is usually played on level ground, and your back yard is probably already leveled. On the other hand, a slight hillock wouldn't hurt, so if you have one already in your yard do leave it as it is. Every little kid loves to play in the dirt, and your children may be amazed that you are actually asking them to dig holes in the ground, but that?s exactly what our next step would be. Dig in some small flower pots up to the brim, right into the ground. These would serve as the holes, so make sure they aren't too big. Once these are in place, you need to make the flags. Use a little creativity by making flags out of felt cloth or even plastic sheets; just use whatever is easy to get your hands on. You could attach the flags to Batons their position in the world.
The obstacles that the next challenge in your golf course. You could play as easily as you want, and perhaps as hard as you do it right. An old tube would do very well for a tunnel, while the wood could serve as a bridge. Maybe you could make a sand trap - only an empty bag with sand and a large amount of sand trap. Sawdust would only work well, but tends to disappear very quickly. One can only basinsby digging in water containers or buckets into the ground, just as you have already dug in the flower pots as holes. Make sure you use containers that do not leak. The list is endless - you could use anything lying around the house to make your golf course really challenging and interesting.
To make it seem more real, you could print out a few score sheets on a PC, and you are ready to go. Kids enjoy these miniature golf courses any time.
