In case you missed it in other reviews, I have a deep and unwavering passion for music. You can see this in the songs I’ve edited into videos or commentary on music being blared through the various course PAs. By day, I work at the MN Music Coalition and for the past 20 years, I’ve run an independent record label called Modern Radio. Music has been an integral part of my life. So, when a “contemporary” music-themed mini golf course popped up at the Mall of America, The Pink Putter and I set out to play it immediately. In fact, the first time we played was right after we got engaged. A marriage of all things awesome in the world.
Minnesota’s premier new music radio station and streaming platform, The Current, asked me to share my thoughts on the course given my dual passions of music and mini golf. I pulled together a team of Twin Cities music heads that love mini golf to document and review the course formally. Read my thoughts on the intersection of music and mini golf over at The Current.
