Well,
this was a first for us- a free minigolf!
Granted, it’s only 6 holes long, is in a furniture store and has no way
of keeping score- but it was free (along with free cookies and candy too). The deal here is that the Bob’s Discount
Furniture in Manchester, CT has a variety of options to keep people
interested in shopping for furniture (or a way to keep kids busy while the adults shop). One of
the items happens to be a 6-hole miniature golf course. Now, the course uses regular minigolf
putters, but the balls are a foam type of ball that is usually associated with
urban golf (Google “urban golf” if you are interested in more information on
that topic). The course is in good
condition with no trash. There is a
mural of a real golf course painted all around the course, and one of the
negatives is that the course uses flags in its cups. Also, while the sign in the pond implied that
there were fish, we couldn’t find any. If
you are thinking about shopping at a Bob’s for furniture, then we suggest this
on so you can play the minigolf. If you
are just interested in playing some free minigolf, then stop on by and pretend
you are interested in furniture (though watch out, those salesmen will be on
you the minute you get in the door- don’t let them get in the way of some
minigolf!)
