Aloha again Dave!

Regarding the Tiki connection to mini golf. Since the great Tiki recession there's been one place where tiki has managed to survive, at least in some limited aspect: Mini Golf parks. Not all, mind you, but enough to keep the images of a once bygone era still visible.

Why did I chose mini-golf? Because Tiki, like mini golf, appeals to many of us as it touches some part of our childhood selves. It's something fun and competitive all at once and there's no seperation because of age or gender either. Everyone, at some point in their lives, has likely played mini or putt-putt golf and enjoyed it. So I thought it would be fun to get the tiki crowd together, even those new or strangers to tiki, for something a little fun and exotic.

Here's why I chose to have the tournament at Adventure Golf:




Okay, maybe not the most authentic looking, but for Colorado they're not too shaby.
This volcano stands about 14' tall and shoots out giant balls of flame.

And I haven't even included shots of the temple ruins or waterfalls.

Regarding fees:
Standard Adult fee is: $6.95 and Kids (under 13) are $4.95
If I can get 20 adults to sign up the per adult fee will drop to $5 and if all 40 sign up it will be $4.75
I don't think we'll get 20 kids to sign up, so I don't see the child price changing.

Now if you've played in the tournament and have an hour before we head off to Red Lantern, you might consider trying one of the other two courses. After the first game, additional games are discounted to $3 for Adults. I honestly don't know how much discount there is for additional Kids games, but I'll try to find out.

I think that should answer your questions. Sorry for all of the photos, but I scouted the site the other day and had some photos to share.

Mahalo!
