Played October 10, 2019 with O Street (Rudy & Aaron) and Mark “Highlighter” Novicki
After an earlier lengthy round with a big group, a few of us opted to continue the mini golf adventure through Professor Hacker’s treasure themed complex in North Myrtle Beach. Rudy & Aaron (O-Street), Highlighter, and I took on the other 18 holes of the Gold course before grabbing chow. Camera batteries were running low so documentation was limited but the four of us had a blast and grabbed dinner together. First full day in Myrtle Beach was a resounding success.
Rating
Birdie – So why is this course ranked as a Birdie and the Diamond course a hole-in-one? The train ride up for our first time around made a big difference. It kicked off a unique experience with a wonderful group of folks. The evening ambiance and experience was exceptional as well but I like the theming and play elements on the Diamond course slightly more. This whole Professor Hacker’s complex is a strong option for putting in the Myrtle Beach area.
Surprisingly, I’m ok with giving that tip to my opponent!
