I had a bunch of friends in town who were attending the
2006 ColoradoGuy Festival and one afternoon we played mini-golf in Salida.
(Mini-golf, miniature golf, putt putt ... whatever you want to call it!) |
 |
The course is located right on Highway 50 in Salida, and it is a
well-maintained course with a really nice water theme.
Here are some of my pages from the Salida area:

Nick stands beside the course rules sign. We originally considered
having a Ryder Cup theme with players divided up into two teams by international lines,
but we eventually decided to play as individuals. |
 |
Look at the amazing tie-dye ball I played with. I love it! :) |
 |
Scott putting on the second hole. Um, I'll try to be tactful here: Scott's putting skills were just a *tad below average* for the round! :( |
 |
On the fourth hole, I straddled a roped fence that really hurt
a particular area of my body. It was the only way I could get a normal swing on my ball! |
 |
Laura from Great Britian (left) was really amused at the set of three colorful girly colors! On the right, Kansas Kelly was photographed having a tantrum. |
 |
The sixth hole was a fairly "forgiving" hole and this was the set-up of our balls after we had all shot. Notice that my ball is closest! :) |
 |
Nick tries to break his club with his upper leg after missing a putt. |
 |
Ahhhhhhhh ... this course has lots of summer flowers! :)
Kelly took a short break to photograph the bright flowers on the eighth hole and I got a little
carried away with the red snap dragons. :p) Those pink and purple flowers are on the third hole. |
 |
Paul ("Maryland Guy" - left) shows his miniature golf form and Rhonda ("Precious") watches the ball she just hit. |
 |
Somewhere along the back nine, I got in a little tizzy with this big ol' pine tree. It annoyed me and I began hitting it with my putter! :( |
 |
Folks, this is definitely a nice mini-golf course! :) |
 |
After the 17th hole, Scott jammed his green golf ball in his mouth. |
 |
It was around that point that I held my putter solely with my chin, which really hurt! :( |
 |
Laura prepares to putt. |
 |
A nice group photo! :) |
 |
And there's the scorecard. I won with a score of 44 ... heh heh! ;) |
