3D Miniature Golf at the All Family Fun Center
I've always been a fan of miniature golf, so I had to give this place a visit. Located in strip mall, it is at the southwest corner of Pecos and Russell. They call themselves the All Family Fun Center because they have more than miniature golf. On the other side of their building is laser tag and in between there are several arcade games. I'm a little old for laser tag, so I'll just talk about my experience with the 3D miniature golf.
As you might expect, you have to wear 3D glasses while inside the 18-hole course. What gives the 3D effect is the way the artwork is designed. It has an overlapping look, so once you put your glasses on, it appear to be three dimensional. Some of the 3D looked

Most of the holes are made of low sitting obstacles of only a few inches; there are no gigantic castles for example.
My biggest problem was negotiating the obstacles with my feet. I have low vision due to diabetic retinopathy. This produces missing areas of my vision, especially in my right eye. So the dimly lit areas with black lighting created a great challenge for me to walk or even stand without falling. I ended up using my putter as a walking cane to test the front of the ground for steps and unseen obstacles. I'm happy to report, I made it through 18 holes of golf without a falling incident.
On the whole, I enjoyed the golf. My mini-golf partner and I didn't keep score, so the experience was just a relaxing, kick back, Saturday afternoon feeling. I'm not sure how I feel about 3D golf, but it was something different to do, and it is certainly something for both parents and children to do together.
The All Family Fun Center is about five miles from several areas of the valley. Depending upon the traffic, it will take about 15 minutes by

My favorite thing is playing later in the day and watch the sun go down as I race through 18 holes. The first hole goes along the highway where occasionally a car or two will go by. It is an easy hole which is a good way to start any course with. The second and third holes are a medium difficulty. Then

I did not care much about golf before I decided to come to United States, so my score was not good enough for competing. Although I had several achievements during my freshman year, I knew that my scores, usually ranging around 100, were average for my age and not remarkable. After this first season in Tallulah Falls School, I found a new determination for the sport. I practiced hard during the next summer and prepared for my sophomore year. The golf course had become my second home. When the sophomore season started, I was ready to improve my golf skills and also make some great friends. I started loving this sport with my fantastic teammates, who improved a lot-some from knowing nothing about golf to finishing eighteen holes in a match. Refusing to be slack at practices, our team worked hard to continue our path of improvement-even the harshest of weather would not stop our passionate practices. I remember once, right after the snow, we played the next day. Although the snow had melted by the
Relate topic to audience: As we get older, we get less active and many people cannot play physical sports or don’t have that stamina that we have at our age to run around and do whatever. Learning a proper golf swing is the stepping stool in the golf world and the beginning of getting into a game that can teach you patience, manners, and relieve your stress.
Fourteen clubs - four wedges, six irons, a rescue, a three wood, a driver, and a putter - this is golf. It is one of the most mentally challenging sports in the world. It can fool beginners who are deceived by its simplicity. Golf is often underestimated by those who have never attempted to play the sport. While it has often been known as a “rich man’s” sport, in recent years this perception has begun to change. There are a number of other generalizations made when talking about golf, yet these are most always from those who have never experienced, played, or followed the game. One should question how a critic with no knowledge of the activity could state whether or not golf should be considered a sport. Golf is a sport, regardless of what any critic has to say. Studies and experimentation, along with the experience itself, reveal all of the athletic aspects that make golf better than most sports.
Imagine the sun bursting through the trees for the first time of the new day, the smell of freshly cut grass still potent to your nose as you tee the ball up for a round of golf in the cool mist of a spring morning. "That is what brings you back every time, the smell of the air, the coolness of the whether and the beautiful surroundings that make every shot enjoyable." (Suess, PI) This is the game of golf in its finest and most exquisite time to many people and many people it has touched in its long history. Golf is a lifestyle and not just games to people that are avid in playing. The game of golf has a history that is rich in technological advances and personal accomplishments, which through time has shown to shape
Every day it is becoming more and more evident that our nation is divided. Despite warnings from prominent historical figures like George Washington, we have created a great fissure in our nation that stretches from Maryland to Kansas. Where we should be one nation, united under our Constitution, we are instead the North and the South. Every day, this fissure grows and spreads, and soon, I fear, it will crack our Unites States in half. The driving force behind this rift is a controversial issue: the institution of slavery. It was initially intended by our founding fathers that slavery be slowly phased out, as even in 1775 our budding nation’s leaders had the common sense and moral compass to see that slavery is wrong. Even the proponents
SWOT Analysis gives an overall picture of the health of this industry by analyzing Budweiser’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Budweiser’s, strengths are their longevity and early expansion into the market. Budweiser has a well-established distribution line that puts them in every restaurant, bar, ball park, grocery store, and convenience store across the nation at a comparably lower price. (Leone, 2014) With the recent purchase of SABMiller estimates that the company now owns thirty-percent of the global beer market and sets them up as being the leading beer company in the world. (Petruno, 2016) Advertising has always been a strong
One of the weaknesses of the golf course in my opinion are the trees. It quickly became evident that too many trees have been planted across the golf course. As already mentioned in this report, the trees are impacting growing conditions, encroaching into shot corridors, and obscuring vistas. Unfortunately, many of the trees are also poor species for use on a golf course. A longer range tree management program should be initiated to evaluate the existing trees and provide a pathway to selectively removing those that are of poor quality or that have unwanted impacts and improving the quality of the beneficial trees.
I’ve been playing golf with my Pa since I was 7 years old. I loved the alone time with my Dad, but until I turned 14, the game was just a way to get attention from him. When I was 11, we moved to Washington, DC so that my Dad could study English. He didn't have much time left for golf, but we did have lots of time to explore. I loved being in a new place, a new country, and I loved learning English. Even though I took golf lessons once a week, I didn't compete, and surprisingly, I missed golf!
In most cases, there is a flat green path between the hole and the player, but there has yet to be a golfer proficient enough to utilize that fairway every time, requiring the player to cope with the treacherous obstacles that lie in wait for every errant shot.
The first geometric topic involved in golf is the circumference of circles. For people who do not know the objective of the game of golf, it is fairly simple. Put the ball in the hole. The circumference of the hole is 13.35 inches, while the diameter is 4.25 inches. It is extremely important that the creators of the course measure each distance from the tee box to the hole. Also, the diameter of a regulation golf ball is 1.68 inches. The circumference is 5.28 inches. Though it is not clear exactly how the standard measurement of the hole came up, it is obvious that it greatly affects the scores of golfers. If it was made a little bit smaller, scores will rise greatly. If the hole were too be made a little bit bigger, and scores would come down significantly.
Arnold Palmer said it best. “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect.” The straightforward yet difficult facet has always drawn me to the sport. Golf has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and I love all aspects about it: the competitiveness, the focus required, the life lessons, and the bonding it can create. The game of golf is my passion.
The London Crown Court, the Old Bailey, is similar to a district court in the United States (Hirschel, Wakefield, and Sasse, 2008). However, unlike the United States, the judges and barristers (lawyers) that sit in the Crown Court wear white wigs, or a peruke, with their black robes when hearing a case. This is a symbol of the Crown Court that is different than the courts in the United States. This paper will discuss the different symbols as well as other cultural items of the London Crown Court that the author observed while visiting the court on May 23, 2017.
